Using Your VAIO Computer
Connecting with a cable or satellite set-top box (STB)
You can connect your computer to cable service access that uses a set-top box (cable or satellite). When using the set-top
box (STB) setup, you can change channels only through the STB, using its controls or the supplied remote commander.
When using the STB setup:
❑ A standard TV remote control cannot be used to change TV channels. You can use your TV remote control to set the TV
to the channel-out number (channel 3, 4, etc.) or direct video input specified by your cable or satellite service provider.
❑ You may be able to use a universal remote control or commander to change TV channels, if the device is capable of
controlling the STB.
To connect in STB mode (Option 1)
1 Connect one end of a TV coaxial cable (1) (not supplied) to your cable service access (wall outlet) (2). Connect the other
end to the VHF/UHF IN port on the back panel of your set-top box (STB) (3).
2 Connect a second TV coaxial cable (4) (not supplied) to the VHF/UHF OUT port on the set-top box (STB) (3). Connect
the other end to the single-connection end of a splitter device (5) (not supplied).
3 Connect a third TV coaxial cable (6) to the double-connection end of the splitter device (5). Connect the other end to the
VHF/UHF input port (7) on the computer.
4 Connect a fourth TV coaxial cable (8) (not supplied) to the double-connection end of the splitter device (5). Connect the
other end to the VHF/UHF input port (9) on the rear of your TV monitor or display.
