Setting up and connecting

Connection option D:

DIRECTV Receiver to TV and VCR with A/V cables

If connection option D best matches your needs, follow these steps:

1 Make sure your TV, VCR, and DIRECTV Receiver are turned off and unplugged.

Connect the RG-6 coaxial cable running from your satellite dish to the SATELLITE IN jack on the

2 back of your DIRECTV Receiver.

Connect the supplied phone cord to a telephone wall jack and to the Phone Line jack on the

3 back of the DIRECTV Receiver.

Matching like colors, connect the supplied A/V cables to the AUDIO OUT and VIDEO OUT

4 jacks on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver.

Connect the other ends of these A/V cables to the audio and video input jacks on your VCR.

5 Be sure to connect the A/V jacks on the DIRECTV Receiver to corresponding inputs on your VCR (video out to video in, left audio out to left audio in, right audio out to right audio in).

Matching like colors, connect another set of A/V cables (not included) to the other set of audio

6 and video output jacks on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver. Connect the other ends of these cables to the audio and video input jacks on your TV. Be sure to connect the outputs on the DIRECTV Receiver to corresponding inputs on your TV.

(Optional) if your TV and VCR both have S-Video jacks, you can also make the S-Video

7 connections shown in the illustration. This step is optional; it provides improved picture quality.

8 Plug in the power cords for your TV, VCR, and DIRECTV Receiver.
