How to Connect a Samsung SIR-T451 to a Computer

Connecting your HDTV Tuner is easy.

If your SIR-T451 has an RGB or DVI jack, you can connect it to your computer's monitor. You cannot, however, connect it directly to a computer. The DVI and RGB jacks transmit video only through digital or analog video. For the audio to work, you must connect the audio jacks to the speakers on your monitor or to a stereo amplifier. Read the following steps to connect your T451 HDTV tuner to a computer monitor.

Things You'll Need

• Video cable
• Audio cables

Instructions

1. Connect the antenna cable to the "ANT/CABLE IN" jack on the T451 Tuner Box.

2. 

   Blue is the 15-pin analog video output and white is the digital video output.

   Use a DVI (digital video) or 15-pin analog video monitor cable. Connect one end of the video cable to the tuner box (DTV OUT/RGB JACK). Connect the other end of the video cable to the computer monitor. Set the "DTV OUT SELECT" switch to your video source for it to work. You will be using "DVI" for digital video or "RGB" for 15-pin analog cable.

3. Connect audio cables between the left and right "audio out" jacks on the tuner box and the "audio in" jacks on the computer monitor. If you have no audio jacks on the monitor, you can connect to a stereo amplifier or receiver.

Tips & Warnings

• When a 25-pin DVI jack is used, only digital signals can be viewed.
