The Receiver

Receiver Back Panel

The receiver back panel has ports you can use to connect the receiver to other devices (you may not need to use some of these ports). The back panel also has the power cord and phone jack.

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

Receiver Fan and Air Holes

The receiver has a fan behind the air holes. The fan turns on and off as needed to cool the receiver.

Don’t block the air holes! If you do, the receiver could over-heat!

Satellite In

Connect the cable from the satellite dish to the SATELLITE IN port.

Channel 3/4 Switch

If you use TV SET OUT to connect the receiver to a TV, set this switch to the channel you want to tune to on your TV. Choose a channel that isn’t used by a cable or local TV station. If you connect the receiver to a VCR that has a channel switch, set both switches to the same channel.

Note: If you are connecting multiple receivers to multiple TVs, these receivers and TVs can all be set to the same channel (3 or 4) to avoid interference with local broadcasts.
