Receiver Description and Installation

Tip: Using cable labels makes it easy to tell which cables connect to the receiver ports.

The Receiver Back Panel Connections

Tighten the connections by hand only. If you use a wrench you might over-tighten the connections and cause damage that would not be covered by the Limited Warranty.

The back panel of the receiver provides the connections that you use to connect the receiver to other electronic devices. It also provides the receiver power cord and telephone jack. Depending on the setup that you have, you may only use some of these connections.

Signal Input

The television signal enters your receiver through this connection. Connect an RG-6 coaxial cable from your wall outlet to the SIGNAL INPUT connection. The connector is

color coded black. Remember to tighten by hand only. Wrap the black label, located inside the front cover, around the end of the cable to identify it.

TV Set

Use the TV SET connector as the primary means of connecting your receiver to your TV. Use either an RG-6 or an RG-59 coaxial cable. The connector is color coded white.

Remember to tighten by hand only. Wrap the white label, located inside the front cover, around the end of the cable to identify it.

Channel 3/4 Switch

If you use the TV SET connection as described above, set the CHANNEL 3/4 SWITCH to the channel for the signal output. Select a channel that is not being used by a cable or local television channel.

S-Video

The S-VIDEOconnection provides high quality standard definition video output. If you use this output for video, you must connect the audio with the two RCA AUDIO OUTPUTS (color coded Red and White).

Phono (RCA) Audio/Video Outputs

These color coded RCA A/V OUTPUT connectors provide good quality standard definition video and audio. Use a Phono RCA-type cable to connect these outputs to your TV or other device.
