For a long time the past has already become the past, when all television channels could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Today, when the bill of channels available for viewing goes to hundreds, before an amateur pass the evening at the blue screen there is a problem how to properly connect the satellite receiver to the TV. To understand some of the subtleties of this process will help our advice.
How to connect the receiver to the TV through the "tulip"?
Composite connector, RCA connector, better known to our compatriots as "tulip" - one of the oldest ways of connecting any audio and video equipment. In this connection, the signal is transmitted over three different cables: for the video signal and separately for the right and left audio channels. Each of the connectors has its own color coding, so in connecting the receiver to the TV through the "tulip" there is nothing difficult - just connect the connectors of the same color on the TV and receiver. The disadvantages of this method of connection include significant (if not huge) loss of signal quality, as a result of which the picture comes to the TV with significant distortion. That's why, connecting the receiver to the TV through the "tulip", do not count on a super-sharp image. This option can rather be used as one of the ways to connect the receiver to an old TV - with a small diagonal or portable.
Other ways to connect the receiver to a TV
Let's consider other ways of connecting the receiver to the TV:
- S-Video connector - allows you to get a picture of high enough quality, but you need to use a separate cable for sound transmission;
- SCART connector - the most universal way of connecting, which allows you to get not only a high-quality picture, but also stereo sound;
- The HDMI connector is the most modern connection method, giving a high-resolution picture and allowing the transfer of digital data.
Can I connect two TVs to the receiver?
The need to connect several receivers to one receiver at once occurs frequently among users. To solve this problem, the receiver is connected via an RF connector, also called an "antenna input". In this case, the receiver itself must be equipped with a high-frequency RF modulator. True, the quality of the image will also leave the best, so the owners of modern large TVs do not approach this method.
