CONNECTING TO THE NEARBY TV (TV1)
This section describes how to connect receiver TV1 output ports to a nearby TV. Select one of the
following methods.
Note: If you would like to put the receiver in a remote location (closet, cabinet, etc.), be sure to get
the replacement remote control that uses UHF Pro signals to control TV1. Call your DISH Network
retailer or go to www.dishnetwork.com, select Products and Services, and then click on
Accessories.

HDMI Connections

The HDMI connection provides high-quality audio and video to your HDTV or HD Monitor in one
cable.
1Connect an HDMI cable between the receiver and HDTV set or monitor.
2Turn on your receiver and TV using the front panel buttons.
3Confirm that you are getting a picture from the receiver. Consult your HDTV user’s guide if you
need to change your HDTV to display from the HDMI input.
4If you do not see a picture, see No Picture on the nearby TV on page85. Refer to Setting Up to
Display in HD on page 86.
Note: In most cases connecting the HDMI cable will provide plug-and-play control of the monitor’s
display resolution and other settings. However, your HDTV may require selecting a different format
to display from the receiver during setup.
5Turn up the volume on your HDTV and confirm you have sound. If you don’t have sound, your
system may require you to connect audio (red and white) RCA-type cables between the receiver
Audio Outputs and audio input connections.
