Sony TV & Home A/V Instruction Manual

This is a general recommendation based on the information you provided. You can customize

the connections to suit your individual preferences and viewing habits.

Some hookup recommendations have two cable options listed in the cable section. You will only

need the cables listed under the cable option you choose. You can also use a combination of

cables rather than one type throughout.

This hookup guide uses generic

names for connection jacks and input

labels. The table on the right lists

some of the label variations you may

find on your equipment.

If you don’t have a cable box or satellite receiver (AKA set-top box), skip the steps for the set-

top box. Connect the coaxial cable from the wall into the RF in connection on the next device. If

you’re not connecting a broadcast signal source, disregard the steps involving the set-top box

and begin with the steps for the equipment you are connecting.

This guide provides basic instructions for operating your equipment. The steps can vary by

brand and model. Refer to the manual supplied with your equipment for details specific to your

model. Sony product manuals and documentation can found on the Sony eSupport web site. If

you have questions about a non-Sony device, please contact the manufacturer for information.

You can now surf the web with Sony Internet TV products. If you need help connecting to your

wired or wireless network, check out our Network Connection tutorial.

We recommend this hookup to view cable or satellite service on your television when you have

no other video equipment and your television only has an RF input jack.

(1) Coaxial cable

1. Connect the coaxial cable coming from the wall to the RF IN jack on the set-top box.

2. Connect a coaxial cable to:

a. RF OUT jack on the set-top box

b. RF IN jack on the TV

Note: If your satellite service does not include local channels, you may want to connect an

antenna to the TV IN jack on your satellite receiver. Refer to the operating instructions for

specific information on switching between satellite and local broadcasts.

1. Turn on the television and the set-top box.

2. Tune the TV to the correct channel to receive the signal from the set-top box (usually

channel 3 or 4).

Important: It may be necessary to select either channel 3 or 4 as the RF out on the set-top box.

Check for a switch or menu setting to select the appropriate setting.

If there is picture and sound on the TV, you have connected your equipment correctly.

Watch television

1. Turn on the television and the set-top box.

2. Tune the TV to the correct channel to receive the signal from the set-top box (usually

channel 3 or 4).

Important: It may be necessary to select either channel 3 or 4 as the RF out on the set-top box.
