Digital Audio Out
The DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT is for use with high-quality digital sound decoding systems. Connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT with a Digital Audio Optical cable (available at consumer electronics stores).
TV Antenna/Cable In
The TV ANTENNA/CABLE IN is used if you want the satellite receiver to connect the tuner of the nearby TV to an off-air antenna or cable TV system when the satellite receiver is turned off or when using the TV/VIDEO button on Remote Control 1. Use a coaxial cable to make this connection to an off-air antenna or cable TV system. The TV ANTENNA/CABLE IN connection is color coded black. Your nearby TV must be connected to the CHANNEL 3-4output to use this feature.
TV2 Connections
The following connections provide menus and programming to the remote TVs. These connections are active when the satellite receiver is in Dual Mode or in Single Mode with Shared View enabled.
CH 21–69 Out
The CH 21–69 OUT connection provides good quality video and stereo audio for the remote TV(s). Use a coaxial cable to make this connection to your home cable system. Remote TVs connected to the home cable system can receive programming from this receiver output. The CH 21–69 OUT connection is color coded yellow.
Note: When connecting to the home distribution (CH 21-69 OUT) coaxial port, you must meet requirements covered under FCC Compliance in the Appendix. To meet these requirements, an in-line coaxial attenuator has been included with your receiver and may need to be installed using the following guidance:
•If connecting directly to a TV tuner port, you must install the attenuator in the cable between the CH 21-69 OUT port and the TV tuner.
•If connecting to your in-home cabling system to distribute the signal to a TV(s) in other rooms, in most cases you will not have to install the attenuator for typical in-home cabling systems.
Tip: If you connect a cable to the TV/ Antenna In port, attach the black cable sticker to the cable near where it attaches to the receiver. The stickers are located inside the front cover of this guide.
