STB can be connected with the TV Set by four different ways as described below. Pirelli STB does not provide RF output . If your internal television network is connected through RF cabling and you wish to remain that way you can get RF modulators from specialized stores (Watch figure 2). Furthermore if you have DVD Player / Recorder or Video recorders that provide RF out you can use it to continue your RF cabling , otherwise you may leave you TV network as it is and not change STB.

2. Different ways to connect Pirelli STB with TV

  mini-Din σε SCART   SCART to SCART (Sound and Vision)
If the Av input of the TV is Scart then the suitable connection cable between STB and TV is SCART to SCART. This cable is included in the installation set given to you by our Installation Department.
  mini-Din σε S-Video   S-video to S-video (Vision Only)
If the Av input of the TV is S-video then the suitable connection cable between STB and TV is S-video to S-video. Note that the stereo audio signal must be connected to the TV using RCA connectors, RCA to RCA cable using the Red & White connectors to the respective audio TV inputs.
  mini-Din σε S-Video   RCA to RCA (Sound and Vision)
If the Av input of the TV is RCA then the suitable connection cable between STB and TV is RCA to RCA by using all three connectors Yellow , Red & White connectors to the equivalent TV inputs.

It should be noted that by using all 3 connectors you can obtain Sound &Vision while when using 2 connectors (Red &White) you can obtain Only Sound .
  mini-Din σε S-Video   HDMI to HDMI (Digital Sound &Vision, Very good TV signal quality)

If you have an HD or HD Ready TV set ( LCD or Plasma ) then you have also the option of connecting the Pirelli STB and your TV set using the HDMI to HDMI cable . This cable is included in the installation set given to you by our Installation team. Note that the HDMI cable is providing digital Sound & Vision in a very good quality compared to all of the above cables .

At this stage the HDMI cable can be used only for better quality output but at a later stage, it will be used exclusively for HD content.

3. Connecting Cytavision to more than one TV using Pirelli STB

Pirelli Set - Top Box can be connected to more than one TV sets as presented in the above figure.

The primary TV ( the one that is in the same room with the Set-Top Box ) can be connected directly by cable SCART / S-video & RCA / RCA or HDMI. Please note that the picture and sound quality of the primary TV is better than the others because it is connected via SCART. In addition, all televisions when choosing service Cytavision will show the same program with the primary TV.

Additionally, as already mentioned above, Pirelli STB does not provide RF output. So, if your internal television network is connected through RF cabling and you wish to remain that way, you can purchase RF Modulators (Scart or RCA) from executive stores (see figure 2). RF Modulators provide RF output from Scart or RCA input . Therefore when establishing the above connectivity you can obtain RF output for 1 extra TV Set or multiple TV-sets using an RF Amplifier/Splitter.
