SETTING UP THE DIRECTV SYSTEM

If your VCR has S-video input…

use an S-video cable to connect the digital satellite receiver’s S-VIDEOoutput to the S-video input on your VCR. Also connect one pair of the digital satellite receiver’s audio outputs (Left and Right) to the audio inputs on your VCR.

If your TV has S-video input…

connect an S-video cable from the S-VIDEOoutput (either from the digital satellite receiver if available or the VCR) to the S-video input on the TV. Also connect the left and right audio outputs from the same device that the S-video is coming from and connect them to the TV.

If you have a stereo system…

you may be able to achieve big speaker sound. See the “Hook Up to a Stereo System” section for the necessary connections.

If your hookup is complete…

move on to the “Finishing Up” section.

Hook Up the Audio/Video Signals

Most high-end TVs and VCRs have phono-type audio and video inputs. Look at the back of your TV and VCR for three jacks—possibly color coded yellow, white and red. They will be labeled something like IN (L and R), AUDIO IN, and VIDEO IN. If you are unsure, look at these connectors on the back of the digital satellite receiver. If you have no jacks like these on your TV or VCR, skip this section and proceed to the “Hook Up the RF Signals” section.

This video hookup will give you a clearer picture than an RF hookup. Also, this hookup will allow you to view DIRECTV System programming and local broadcast simultaneously on TVs that offer a “picture in picture” (PIP) feature.

When using this hookup, you cannot use the digital satellite receiver as a switch to choose between DIRECTV System programming and local broadcasts. Instead, you will use the input selection that your TV and/or VCR offer to select the source.

If your VCR has a video input…

use an audio/video cable to connect the digital satellite receiver’s VIDEO output to the video input on your VCR. Also connect the pair of the digital satellite receiver’s audio outputs (Left and Right) to the audio inputs on your VCR.

If your TV has a video input…

connect an audio/video cable from the VIDEO output (from either the digital satellite receiver, if available, or the VCR) to the video input on the TV. Also, connect the left and right audio outputs from the same device that the video is coming from and connect them to the TV.

If you have a stereo system…

you may be able to achieve big speaker sound. See the “Hook Up to a Stereo System” section for the necessary connections.

If your hookup is complete…

move on to the “Finishing Up” section.

Hook Up the RF Signals

Look at the back of your TV and VCR for RF inputs. These may be labeled 75-OHM, 300-OHM,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CABLE, FROM ANTENNA, VHF or UHF. These could appear either as a pair of screws or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

an F-type connector as on the back of the digital satellite receiver.

If your TV or VCR does not have threaded F-type connectors you will need to obtain

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

adapters which convert the round F-type RG-6 or RG-59 cable to the connectors on your
