Using S-Video and A/V jacks and cables to connect to the TV, RF coaxial cables to connect the VCR

This connection provides the best picture quality, surpassing that of A/V cables. The S-Video cable, which carries video information only, requires that audio cables also be used for sound.

What you will need (see page 6 for descriptions of these cables):

•Two (2) RF coaxial cables

•Two (2) A/V cables

•One (1) S-Video cable

•One (1) telephone line cord

•Coaxial cable lines fed from a digital satellite antenna and a standard TV antenna (or cable line)

Making the Connection

1.Connect the satellite dish antenna feed (RG-6 coaxial cable) to the SATELLITE IN jack on the satellite receiver.

2.Connect one end of an RF coaxial cable to the OUT TO TV jack on the satellite receiver, and the other end to the antenna input jack on the VCR.

Note: If your VCR has A/V input jacks, you can use A/V cables to connect the satellite receiver’s second A/V jacks to the A/V jacks of the VCR instead of using the RF coaxial cable.

Using Your Components

3.Connect one end of an RF coaxial cable to the antenna output jack on the VCR, and the other end to the TV’s antenna input jack.

4.Connect the cable or off-air antenna feed (RF coaxial cable) to the IN FROM ANT jack on the satellite receiver.

5.Connect one end of the supplied telephone line cord to the PHONE JACK on the back of the satellite receiver, and the other end to an RJ11-type modular phone jack (the most common type of phone jack).

6.Connect two ends of the supplied A/V cables to AUDIO R and L jacks on the satellite receiver, and the other ends to the corresponding audio input jacks on the TV.

Note: Make sure you connect jacks by their labels. For example, AUDIO R on the digital satellite receiver should be connected to TV’s right audio input jack, L Audio to L Audio, etc.

If your TV only has one audio input jack, use the satellite receiver’s AUDIO L jack to make the connection.

7.Connect one end of the supplied S-Video cable to the satellite receiver, and the other end to the S-Video input jack on the TV.

To record DIRECTV programming:

Tune the satellite receiver to the desired channel. Then set your VCR to record on the proper input channel (video line input if using A/V cables to connect the VCR to the satellite receiver, channel 3 or 4 if using RF coaxial cable).
