I need guidance of how to properly connect a Scientific-Atlanta Explorer 8300HDC Rev6.3 to the Beovision 9 integrated Beosystem 3.
The Scientific-Atlanta Explorer 8300HDC has the following connections:
1 Cable In - Connect the coaxial cable that delivers the signal from your cable service provider
2 Cable Out - Connect a coaxial cable to send analog audio and video signals to a TV or VCR. These signals are standard-definition TV (SDTV) video and stereo audio
3 PrPbY/V - Connect the 8300HDC (in HD mode) to the component video input (YPrPb) on the HDTV. When the 8300HDC is configured for SD mode, the Y/V portion of the component video output connects to the composite video input of an SDTV.
4 Digital Audio Out - Connect an RCA cable to send a digital audio signal to a surround-sound receiver or other digital audio device
5 Out 2 (Secondary Video and Audio Out) - Connect to either a VCR for archiving saved content from the 8300HD or
connect to another set of inputs (composite) on your HDTV
6 Audio Out (LEFT and RIGHT) - Connect RCA cables to send analog audio signals (left and right) to the stereo outputs of an HDTV
7 Optical Audio Output - Connect an optical cable to send a digital audio signal to a surround-sound receiver or other digital audio device
8 S-Video Out - Connect an S-Video cable to send an S-Video signal to your TV or VCR. This signal is standard definition but higher quality than other SDTV connections
9 IR (This connector reserved for future use)
10 HDMI - Connect the HDTV HDMI™ connector to the HDMI port. HDMI supports both digital audio and video. May be used to connect to a DVI interface using an adaptor for video and separate audio connections. You can use any of the following audio connections: Digital Audio Out (4), Audio Out [LEFT and RIGHT] (6), or Optical Audio Out (7)
11 CableCARDTM - Slot for CableCARD multi-stream card for decrypting subscription digital channels. Obtain the multi-stream card from your cable service provider.
12 SATA - Connect to an external Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drive for expanded recording capacity. Check with your cable service provider for a list of approved hard drive models for use with the 8300HDC
13 1394 Outputs - Connect to display devices equipped with 1394 inputs. These connectors might not be available on all 8300HDC models. When you connect the DVR-DVD to your TV using 1394, you must make additional video and audio connections to your TV to receive analog signals
14 AC Outlet - Connect the AC power cord from another device, such as a TV
15 AC Power Input - Connect the power cord to deliver power to the 8300HDC
This is from the S-A 8300HDC manual. I have this in PDF if that helps.
I also have the IR transmitter with the mini phono jack for control of the STB if needed.
Thanks in advance!
