Tip: Using cable labels makes it easy to tell which cables to connect to the receiver ports. Inside the front cover of this guide are the stickers that are color coded the same way as the coaxial connections.

INSTALLING THE RECEIVER IN AN EXISTING SYSTEM

These instructions explain how to make basic connections between your satellite TV receiver, dish, TV, and VCR. If you’d like to connect other equipment, such as a DVD player or amplifier, review the Back Panel section on page 5 and the user guide that came with the equipment.

1.Connect the RG-6 cable coming from the satellite dish to SATELLITE IN on the back of the receiver. Peel off the blue sticker and place it on the cable close to the SATELLITE IN connection.

2.Connect a cable between the TV SET OUT on the back of the receiver and the TV input. Peel off the white sticker and place it on the cable close to the TV SET OUT connection.

3.Optionally, connect a cable between the TV SET OUT on the back of the receiver and the input to the VCR. Connect another cable between the VCR output and TV input.Peel off the white sticker and place it on the cable close to the TV SET OUT connection.

4.Set the CHANNEL 3-4switch on the back of the receiver to the channel (3 or 4) that you use to watch TV.

5.Plug in and turn on your receiver and TV.

6.Tune the TV to the same channel you set in step 3. If you do not have a clear picture, change the TV and CHANNEL 3-4switch settings to the other channel (for example, if the TV and receiver are on channel 3, change both to channel 4).

7.Program the remote to control the TV (and VCR) as described on page 11.
