Receiver Description and Installation

Tip: For the best viewing experience, you should use the off-air tuner provided in your DISH DVI-equipped DISH HD satellite receiver. The satellite receiver’s off-air tuner can receive both analog and digital off-air broadcasts, integrate off-air programming into its Program Guide, and allow all of the satellite and off-air programming to be viewed over a single high-quality digital connection.

Tip: Tighten the coaxial cable connections by hand only.

Phono (RCA) Audio and Video Outputs

Two sets of color coded RCA A/V OUTPUT connectors provide good quality standard definition audio and video. Use phono RCA-type cables to connect these outputs to a VCR, for example, for use in recording. You can also connect the audio outputs for use with either of the HDTV video connections (DISH DVI and YPBPR) or the S-Video connection.

RCA Audio and Video Input

These input connections allow other devices (such as a VCR or game console) to display content through the receiver audio/ video outputs. Use a phono RCA style cable to make the connection to the outputs of other video source devices.

Note: While your receiver can convert the input to high definition format on the DISH DVI or YPBPR connections, the receiver cannot convert the picture to high definition quality.

These inputs are selected as sub-channels of Channel 0 from the program guide. See Using the Program Guide in Chapter 3 for details.

Audio Digital Output

Connect to the AUDIO DIGITAL OUTPUT with an Audio Digital Optical cable (available at consumer electronics stores). This connection point is for use with high quality sound systems.

8VSB TV Antenna/Cable In

This input connection receives programming signals from either local off-air broadcasters in both analog and digital broadcast formats or a cable TV system. Use a coaxial cable to make this connection to an external off-air antenna or a cable TV service. This connector is color coded black.

This input connection can only be used if your receiver is activated with qualifying DISH Network programming.

UHF Remote Control Antenna

This input connection receives UHF signals from the remote control. Connect the UHF antenna here, and set it so it doesn't touch anything. Set the antenna straight up so you can use the remote control as far away as possible. This connector is color coded green.

Satellite In

The SATELLITE IN connection point is used to connect your DISH Network antenna to your receiver so you can receive satellite TV signals. The connection is made using RG-6 coaxial cable. This connector is color coded blue.
