Connecting a home entertainment system

The A/V receiver must be turned on in order to send the video and video signal to your TV.

If either command does not function, try other codes listed for your VCR brand. If you are unsuccessful after trying all available codes, recheck your VCR Control Cable connections and IR emitter placement.

9.Remove the temporary mounting tape. Attach the emitter permanently using the peel-and-stick backing. This will not interfere with normal VCR operation.

You can integrate the DIRECTV® Receiver into your entertainment system to take advantage of enhanced audio and video capability. Follow these instructions to connect your DIRECTV Receiver.

To connect the DIRECTV Receiver to your audio system, use A/V cables to connect the satellite receiver to the audio receiver’s AUDIO IN jacks.

Dolby Digital - With the HAH-SA satellite receiver, you can enjoy programs that contain a Dolby Digital sound track. We recommend that you listen in surround sound for maximum enjoyment of these programs. You can connect the stereo outputs of the HAH-SA to a receiver that contains a Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder. This will provide you with three audio channels in the front and a mono surround channel.

To take full advantage of Dolby Digital programming, connect the HAH-SA digital audio output to an external 5.1-channelDolby Digital decoder or receiver. This provides you with three front channels, two independent surround channels, and an LFE (or subwoofer) channel.

1.Connect the satellite antenna RG-6 coaxial cable to the DIRECTV Receiver’s SATELLITE IN jack.

2.Connect the DIRECTV Receiver’s A/V jacks to the VCR and A/V receiver’s A/V jacks.

3.AUX, optical connection, and digital output connections – If your audio receiver has optical digital connectors, connect the appropriate type of cable to the DIRECTV Receiver’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT for two-channel digital stereo. If your A/V receiver is also capable of decoding Dolby Digital, use this connection in order to listen in full 5.1-channel surround sound. Refer to page 25 for additional audio information.

4.Connect the VCR’s A/V OUT jacks to a pair of the A/V receiver’s A/V IN jacks.

5.Connect the A/V receiver’s MONITOR OUT jack to the TV’s VIDEO IN jack.

6.Plug the components into an electrical outlet.

Note: If you have connected a VCR to your entertainment system in a way that routes the satellite receiver’s signal to your VCR before it reaches the TV, you may see a distorted picture if you try to record (or view in some instances) a copy-protected program. A Can’t Tape symbol in the screen banner identifies these programs.
