Please refer to your audio equipment’s manual or manufacturer for information on connecting and setting up your system.
  5. Audio/video port: Optional audio/video output for use with TVs that do not have an HDMI port. It does not support 4K resolution. With an audio/video adapter (not provided), the port can be used with component or composite cables. Refer to your TVs manual or manufacturer for more information.

  7. USB: USB 3.0 port reserved for use by a technician.
  8. Button used to pair the Bluetooth remote to the 4K Whole Home PVR. Typically not required as the Bluetooth remote that comes with your 4K PVR pairs automatically.
