n 68 N 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) ! When you connect your computer to a set-top box, use a stereo A/V cable with triple RCA plugs on one end and the straight plug on the other end. You cannot use a stereo A/V cable with the L-shaped plug. 1 Connect one end of a TV coaxial cable (1) (supplied) to your cable service access (wall outlet) (2).
