Warning! Before connecting or disconnecting the R180 to your TV using any kind of cable, first switch off the R180, the TV and all other devices (A/V amplifier etc.) and disconnect them from the mains electrical supply.

You have a choice of ways to connect the audio and video produced by the R180 to your TV:

HDMI Connection

Recommended for best quality. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI output of the R180 to the HDMI input of your TV.

Analog A/V Connection

Provides good quality in SD only. This connection uses composite video with analog audio left/right. Connect the 3.5mm jack to the A/V OUT port on the R180.

Connecting your television directly to the audio/video output of your Set Top Box will assure a more vivid picture and enhance your viewing enjoyment.
