Getting Started
Satellite or Digital Cable Television Service
The iCEBOX supports satellite and digital cable television service; how-
ever, when using satellite service, the iCEBOX remote or keyboard cannot
be used to change channels. Continue to use your existing remote control
with the set-top box.
Your satellite signal may come in through the standard TV-In coxial connec-
tion. See
To connect the TV cable
in the previous section.
Alternately, you may wish to take advantage of the higher quality of Satel-
lite or Digital Cable by using the S-video connection. You can connect
digital cable or a Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) system, such as DirectTV
or DISH, to your iCEBOX. See
To connect an S-Video source
in the next
section.
Note:
If you use an S-Video connection from your Satellite or Digital
cable, you will need to use Video Mode to watch television. See
Video Mode
on page 43. The iCEBOX remote or keyboard can-
not be used to change channels in Video Mode. Continue to use
your existing remote control with the set-top box.
Connecting an
S-Video Source
S-Video (Super-Video) divides video information into two separate signals
for a sharper, higher-quality image. Most new video cameras, camcord-
ers, VCRs, and game machines include an S-Video jack.
The iCEBOX can support one S-Video signal that can be viewed in Video
Mode. Press the Video mode button repeatedly to toggle between the S-
Video signal and a composite signal. You can also use the S-Video jack
for Satellite or Digital Cable. For more information see
Video Mode
on
page 43.
To connect an S-Video source
•
Plug an S-Video cable from the camera, VCR, game machine or satel-
lite/cable receiver into the S-Video connection on the back of the
iCEBOX.
•
Insert audio cables from the S-Video device into the Audio In connec-
tions in the back of the iCEBOX.
Connecting a
Camera, VCR or
Video Game.
Using the iCEBOX Video Mode, you can monitor another area of your
home where a video camera is installed, play a video game or view a
video tape in a VCR using a composite signal.
Since Video Mode supports both composite and S-Video sources, you can
toggle between the two signals by repeatedly pressing the Video mode
button. For more information see
Video Mode
on page 43.
Note:
At this time, Video Mode supports only one Audio source which
will continue to play when you toggle between Video signals.
