Unpacking HDTV Receiver and Accessories/Connection Overview  
Make sure you have received all the accessories listed below with the High Definition Television Receiver.  
High Definition Television Receiver  
The HDTV Receiver is capable of receiving signals from cable and/or over-the-air antenna  
sources and sending the signals to your TV/Monitor.  
Included with the Receiver are the following accessories.  
Audio Cable  
Video Cable  
Component (YPbPr) Cable  
RF Cable  
DVI Cable  
Remote Control  
2 AA Batteries  
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables  
The Audio/Video jacks provide excellent picture and sound quality. They are  
used for making most Audio/Video connections between A/V devices. The  
Audio/Video jacks may be color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio,  
and white for left audio). If an A/V device has only one input for audio  
(mono), connect it to the left (white L/mono) audio jack on the HDTV  
Receiver.  
Component Out Jacks and Cables  
Component Cables are used to connect the HDTV Receiver to an industry  
standard YPbPr compatible HD Monitor (green for Y, blue for Pb, and red for  
Pr). Since the YPbPr Component jacks carry only the picture and not the  
sound, remember to also connect the left and right audio cables.  
DVI-HDTV Cable  
DVI cable is used to connect the HDTV Receiver to an industry standard  
DVI-HDTV compatible HD monitor. Remember to also connect the left and  
right audio cables. A DVI jack carries only the video signals, not the audio.  
ANT LOOP OUT Jack, and RF Cable  
ANT LOOP OUT provides an RF connection between the HDTV Receiver  
and the TV and provides the signal from the ANT IN jack to the TV/Monitor.  
Remote Control  
In addition to the HDTV Receiver, the Remote Control can be programmed  
to control many other devices.  
Batteries  
To install the batteries, slide open the battery compartment and insert the

Before Connecting Your Antenna  
During initial installation and setup of your HDTV Receiver, you may need to install a 10 dB attenuator to the  
Antenna input “ANT IN” on the LST-4200A. The LST-4200A is a high performance, high-gain system intended for  
operation under normal and weak signal conditions, providing the best reception with its optimum gain. However,  
there might be some reception areas where the signal strength is too high (e.g. due to close proximity to an unde-  
sirable signal or transmitter), so you need an attenuator that lowers the incoming signal strength (from the undesir-  
able transmitter) to more normal levels. This 10 dB attenuator should be used only in a reception area where the  
undesired signal strength is too high.

Display Formats Overview  
The HDTV Tuner offers various display formats and multiple video outputs. If the HDTV Tuner is connected to A/V  
systems, the HDTV Tuner can provide video signal formats 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i.  
1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i modes are available for component video (YPbPr) outputs.  
1080i, 720p, and 480p modes are available for RGB and DVI outputs.  
480i mode is available for VIDEO, S-VIDEO, and COMPONENT VIDEO outputs.  
The HDTV Tuner has two digital audio outputs; Dolby Digital 5.1 and PCM. The HDTV Tuner sends out a digital  
audio signal to OPTICAL and COAXIAL audio outputs if digital broadcasts are being received by the HDTV Tuner.

G (General Audiences): Content is not offensive to most viewers.  
This is a film which contains nothing in theme, language, nudity and  
sex, violence, etc. which would be offensive to parents whose younger  
children view the film. The G rating is not a “certificate of approval,nor  
does it signify a children’s film.  
Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation but  
they are common everyday expressions. No stronger words are pres-  
ent in G-rated films. The violence is at a minimum. Nudity and sex  
scenes are not present; nor is there any drug use content.  
PG: “Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May Not Be Suitable  
For Children.”  
The PG rating, suggesting parental guidance, is an alert for examina-  
tion of a film by parents before deciding on its viewing by their chil-  
dren. This is a film which clearly needs to be examined or inquired into  
by parents before they let their children see it. The label PG plainly  
states that parents may consider some material unsuitable for their  
children, but the parent must make the decision. Parents are warned  
against allowing their children to see PG-rated movies. The theme of a  
PG-rated film may itself call for parental guidance. There may be some  
profanity in these films. There may be some violence or brief nudity.  
But these elements are not deemed so intense as to require that par-  
ents be strongly cautioned beyond the suggestion of parental guid-  
ance. There is no drug use content in a PG-rated film.

PG-13: PG-13 Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be  
Inappropriate For Children Under 13.  
PG-13 is a sterner warning to parents to determine for themselves the  
attendance in particular of their younger children as they might consid-  
er some material not suited for them. Parents, by the rating, are alert-  
ed to be very careful about viewing by their under-teenage children.  
A PG-13 film is one which leaps beyond the boundaries of the PG rat-  
ing in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, or other contents,  
but does not quite fit within the restricted R category. Any drug use  
content will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. In effect, the PG-13  
cautions parents with more stringency than usual to give special atten-  
tion to this film before they allow their 12-year olds and younger to see  
it.  
PG-13 places larger responsibilities on parents for their children’s  
movie viewing. The rating system is not a surrogate parent, nor should  
it be. It cannot, and should not, insert itself in family decisions that only  
parents can, and should, make. Its purpose is to give prescreening  
advance informational warnings, so that parents can form their own  
judgments. PG-13 is designed to make these parental decisions easier  
for films between PG and R.  
R (Restricted viewing): Not for children under age 17. Strong elements  
of sex and/or violence.  
Requires Accompanying Parent Or Adult Guardian. The film definitely  
contains some adult material. Parents are strongly urged to find out  
more about the film before they allow their children to see it.  
An R-rated film may include hard language, or tough violence, or nudi-  
ty within sensual scenes, or drug abuse or other elements, or a combi-  
nation of some of the above, so that parents are counseled, in  
advance, to take this advisory rating very seriously. Parents must find  
out more about an R-rated movie before they allow their teenagers to  
view it.  
NC-17 (Restricted Viewing): Not for children under age 17 under any  
circumstances. Strong sexual content.  
This rating declares that this is a film that most parents will consider  
patently too adult for their youngsters under 17. No children should  
see the film. NC-17 does not necessarily mean “obscene or porno-  
graphic” in the oft-accepted or legal meaning of those words. The rea-  
sons for the application of an NC-17 rating can be violence or sex or  
aberrational behavior or drug abuse or any other elements which,  
when present, most parents would consider too strong and therefore  
off-limits for viewing by their children.  
X (Hard Core Films): Same as NC-17 rating.
