Receiver Description and Installation

RCA Out

The RCA audio/video outputs provide high picture quality and stereo sound to your TV (if your TV has these connections). These outputs can be used to provide TV2 menus and programming to a wireless audio/video transmitter or to a second input on a nearby TV. Use an RCA-type cable assembly to make the connection. If the TV has only one input for this type of audio, connect it to the right (R) phono (RCA) audio output on the receiver.

Other Connections

Satellite In

The SATELLITE IN connections are used to receive satellite TV signals from the dish antenna. The connection is made using RG-6 coaxial cable. The SATELLITE IN connections are color coded blue.

Note: Both SATELLITE IN connections must be used for proper operation of the receiver.

Remote Antenna

The REMOTE ANTENNA port receives UHF signals from the Remote Control 2 so that it can control TV2 menus from another room. Connect the UHF antenna here, and place it so that it does not touch anything. If you do not connect the antenna, you cannot use Remote Control 2 to control the receiver for TV2 menus and programming. The REMOTE ANTENNA port is color coded green.

Telephone Jack

The TELEPHONE JACK is used to connect the receiver to an active telephone line. Use a standard RJ-11 telephone cable assembly to make the connection. You must keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line. Otherwise, you may not be able to order pay per view programs, use all of the DISH Interactive features, or other services from DISH Network.

Remote Controls

The two remote controls give you easy access to all the features of your satellite receiver. You can set up each remote to control the satellite receiver and up to three other devices. These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third device.
