Very Good Connection

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

This connection provides better picture quality than RF coaxial cables and is recommended for use with TVs that do not have S-Video input jacks.

What you will need (see pages 2 and 3 for descriptions of these cables):

•Two (2) RF coaxial cables

•Three (3) Audio/Video cables

•One (1) telephone line cord

•RG-6 coaxial cable line fed from a digital satellite antenna

•RF coaxial cable line from a standard TV antenna or cable outlet

Making the Connection

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

2.Connect one end of an RF coaxial cable to the OUT TO TV jack on the DIRECTV 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 DIRECTV Receiver’s second set of A/V output jacks to the A/V jacks of the VCR instead of using the RF coaxial cable.

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 OFF AIR IN jack on the DIRECTV Receiver.

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

6.Connect the ends of the supplied A/V cables to the DIRECTV Receiver’s AUDIO 1 and VIDEO 1 jacks, and the other ends to the corresponding audio and video input jacks on the TV.

Notes: Make sure you connect jacks and cables corresponding to their labels. For example, AUDIO R output on the DIRECTV Receiver should be connected to AUDIO R input on the TV, VIDEO out to VIDEO in, etc.

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