Receiver Description and Installation

Connecting a VCR to the Remote TV

For this installation, always leave your VCR powered on so that the TV can receive satellite programming. If you turn off your VCR, your TV will not be tuned to the correct channel to receive satellite programming.

1.Connect the tuner input of the remote VCR to an existing wall cable outlet using a coaxial cable.

2.Connect a coaxial cable from the output on the VCR to the remote TV’s tuner port.

3.Plug in and turn on the remote VCR and TV.

4.Tune the remote VCR to the remote TV channel that you use to watch satellite TV programming (for example, channel 60) as set on page 33.

5.Write the channel number you tuned your VCR to in the previous step on one of the TV2 channel stickers. Place the sticker on or near the VCR. This sticker will remind you which channel to use to watch satellite programming. The stickers are located in the inside front cover of this guide.

6.Set the VCR output to channel 3 or 4.

7.Tune the remote TV to the same channel that you set your VCR to in step 6.

8.Write the channel number you tuned your TV to in the previous step on one of the TV2 channel stickers. Place the sticker on or near the TV. This sticker will remind you which channel to use to watch satellite programming. The stickers are located in the inside front cover of this guide.

Optional - Connecting to an Off-Air Antenna or Cable

If you want to receive channels from an off-air antenna or cable in addition to your satellite receiver programming, connect the off-air antenna/cable into your TV distribution equipment.

For the nearby TV receiving programming from CH 3–4 OUT, the off-air antenna cable needs to be connected to the TV ANTENNA/CABLE IN port.

For remote TVs receiving programming from CH 21-69 OUT, the off-air antenna needs to be connected to your TV distribution equipment. When adding this connection, the FCC requires that your install appropriate equipment between the off-air antenna/cable and the satellite TV receiver to prevent you from accidentally retransmitting DISH Network programming (see FCC Compliance in the Appendix).

TV distribution equipment devices include coax panels, amplifiers or super home nodes, and are available through many companies. See www.dishnetwork.com for a list of approved equipment.
