ANT-1 MAIN and ANT-2 AUX can each receive both 

digital and analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF 
antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable channels

.  

Your primary viewing signal source should be connected 

to ANT-1 MAIN.  ANT-1 MAIN must be used to view 
premium subscription cable TV service authorized 
by the CableCARD™ access card.  The CableCARD 
access card is provided by your local cable company.  

ANT-2 AUX can continue to receive over-the-air or non-

scrambled cable signals.

These analog L/R audio output terminals provide an 

additional option for connecting to an A/V Receiver or 
other audio device. 

NOTE: For the best audio quality, use the Digital Audio 
Out terminal if  supported by your A/V receiver. For 
analog audio, it is generally preferable to connect directly 
to the A/V receiver from the cable box, statellite receiver, 
DVD player, etc.

The CableCARD access card provided by your cable TV 

service provider is inserted into this slot.  The top of the 
card should face upwards.

NOTE: If you are using a CableCARD, be sure to connect 
the cable from the cable wall outlet to ANT-1 MAIN on 
the media center.

CableCARD is a nationwide standard system that allows 
your local cable TV provider to  supply you with an 
access card customized to your account.  This card 
allows the HDTV (display + media center) to receive, 
decode and unscramble the premium digital channels 

included in your cable TV subscription without the use 
of a cable box.  See page 23 for additional CableCARD 
information and activation instructions.

If your cable company is not currently offering 
CableCARD access cards, you will need to use a 
cable box provided and authorized by your local cable 
company to view scrambled channels.

This output will automatically send Dolby® Digital audio 

from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices to a digital 

Audio/Video receiver.  Connect this output to the A/V 

receiver’s coaxial digital audio input. The output will 
automatically turn off when viewing an analog channel 

or device.  Use Audio Line Out to send analog sound to 
your A/V receiver.

Some digital cable channels send MPEG-1 digital audio 
instead of Dolby Digital, however, not all A/V receivers 
can decode MPEG-1 digital audio.  This can cause 
the A/V receivers to produce a loud noise that can 
damage speakers.  For this reason, the media center 
will automatically turn off the digital audio output when 
tuned to a channel or device that has MPEG-1 digital 
audio and send it to the A/V receiver as analog left and 

right audio from Monitor Output.

Use this Composite video and analog audio outputs 
under the following circumstances:

•  Output to  VCR for recording, or other A/V device.
•  Output to an auxilliary monitor.

These terminals allow the media center  to connect 

to external IEEE 1394 digital products by means of 
a single cable.  Two terminals are provided for this 
purpose, which allow for a high degree of flexibility 
for connecting your NetCommand controlled system.  
Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection 
requirements are in Chapter 4.
