A First Look at the HD System

The rear of the HD receiver (power cord not shown)

The rear of the HD receiver has numerous jacks for connection to your audio/video entertainment system. You will also find the power cord permanently connected to the back.

The SATELLITE-INF-type jack is for connecting the cable from your satellite dish antenna to the HD receiver. Be sure that you use RG-6 cable only. The SATELLITE-INF-type jack can also accept a terrestrial analog or digital input when combined with the satellite signal using a diplexer.

Note: Refer to “HD Receiver and Satellite Dish Antenna with Terrestrial Antenna or Cable Service” in Chapter 2 for more information on using a diplexer. This is an advanced installation technique and professional installation is recommended.

The IN FROM ANT jack is for connecting a terrestrial analog or digital antenna to your HD receiver.

The OUT TO TV F-type jack is an RF output that you may connect to your standard definition (SD) TV or videocassette recorder (VCR) (depending on your entertainment system). Note that the CH3/CH4 switch enables you to select the channel on which HD receiver signals will appear. Select this channel on your TV or VCR to view or record these signals.

Three component signal output jacks Y (Luminance), Pr (the amount of color Red is different from Luminance), and Pb (the amount of color Blue is different from Luminance) are connected to a High Definition (HD) monitor set to achieve highest quality video images. The output format is always 1080i.

The phono-type AUDIO output jacks, labeled and color-coded (L is white, and R is red) to indicate Left and Right, can be used for connection to your TV, VCR, or audio system. The phono-type composite VIDEO output jack is color-coded yellow and provides SD video signals. You may use this jack for connection to your TV or VCR. The multiple-pin S-VIDEOjack is for high-quality video output. Use this jack to achieve the clearest SD picture for your TV or VCR. The output format signals for RF, video, and S-video are always 480i.

The VCR CONTROL mini-jack is for connecting the VCR control cable that is included with the system. With this cable, the HD receiver can interface with most popular brands of VCRs to record selected programs automatically.

There is one DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector which is OPTICAL. It provides signals for connection to a Dolby® Digital decoder.

The RF REMOTE jack is used to plug in the RF receiver which came with your system. Connecting this receiver will allow you to operate the HD receiver from other rooms in your home when using the Whole House RF remote control.

The standard RJ-11 modular PHONE JACK is for connecting the HD receiver to your telephone line. This telephone connection is necessary to access certain program offerings such as Pay Per View. Telephone calls generated by the HD receiver are toll-free. The telephone line connection will not normally interfere with your telephone operation.
