High Denion Mulmedia Interface (HDMI) is a video-audio integrated port to provide high
denion images by connecng a STB to an HD TV. Connect it to the HDMI input port (not output
port) on an HD TV.
\
Do not connect the power cord unl you have made all the other connecons.
\
When you change connecons, turn o all devices before you start.
\
An HDMI cable outputs digital video/audio, so you don’t need to connect an audio cable.
\
If you use an HDMI-to-DVI cable to connect to your display device, you must also connect the
Digital Audio Out on the product to an audio system to hear audio.
\
Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resoluons may not work. Please refer to the user
manual of your TV.
\
When you connect the product to your TV for the rst me using an HDMI cable or connect it to
a new TV using an HDMI cable, it will automacally set the HDMI output resoluon to the highest
supported by the TV.
\
HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protecon), random noise
appears on the screen.
Supported HDMI CEC function on Remote control
Anynet+ is a convenient funcon that oers linked operaons with other Samsung products that have the
Anynet+ feature. To operate this funcon, connect this product to an Anynet+ Samsung TV using an HDMI cable.
The STB supports HDMI Anynet+ funconality (extensions of the HDMI CEC standard). This makes it possible to
control the STB using a TV remote control (or to control the TV using the STB remote control in the case of the
automac power on funcon).
Supported funcons are:
Automac power o (when the Standby buon is pressed on the TV, the TV goes to standby mode together
with the STB)
Automac power on (when the Standby buon is pressed on the STB, the STB wakes up from standby mode
together with the TV)
Remote control command sending; the following remote control buons are supported: channel change,
menu, guide, channel list and arrows.
ANT IN Connection
Connect an RF coaxial cable(not supplied) to the cable wall outlet and the ANT IN port at the rear of the STB.
