Receiver Description and Installation

Tip: The six coaxial connections on the back of your receiver are color coded to make the connectors easy to identify. Inside the front cover of this guide are stickers that are color coded the same way as the coaxial connections. See the installation instructions starting on page 24 for information on how to use the stickers that go on the coaxial cables.

Receiver Back Panel

The receiver connections on the back panel are arranged in three groups:

TV1 Connections - Use these connections with your TV.

TV2 Connections - Do not try to use these connections with your TV.

Other Connections - Use these connections with the dish antenna, UHF remote-control antenna, and telephone line.

TV1 Connections

The following connections provide the menu displays and programming to your TV.

TV CH 3–4 Out

The TV CH 3–4connection provides good quality video and mono (non-stereo) audio to your nearby TV. Use a coaxial cable to make this connection. The TV CH 3–4connection is color-coded white.

RCA Out

The RCA audio/video outputs provide high-quality picture and full stereo sound to your nearby TV (if your TV has these connections). Use RCA-type cables to make this connection. If the TV has only one (monophonic) input for this type of audio, connect it to the right

(R) phono-plug audio output port on back of the satellite receiver.

S-Video Out

The S-VIDEO connection provides the highest quality standard- definition video signal to your nearby TV (if your TV has this input connection). Use an S-Video cable to make the connection. If you use this back panel output for video between the receiver and your TV, you must still connect the audio using the PHONO (RCA) AUDIO LEFT/RIGHT OUTPUTS and Phono Plug (RCA-type) cables, as shown above.
