Unplug all equipment from the AC outlet before making connections.
Does your TV have only one video or RF input but you own a VCR, DVD player or other video equipment? Philips
offers the industry’s first A/V Matrix that allows you to command and control other video devices such as a DVD player
or a VCR without additional equipment. You can use this DIRECTV® Receiver as the video gateway of your entertain-
ment center.
1. Connect the outputs of your other devices (such as a DVD player or VCR) to the corresponding VIDEO and AUDIO
LEFT/RIGHT inputs (IN1 or IN2) of the A/V Matrix on the rear of the DIRECTV Receiver.
2. To record satellite programming, connect the VIDEO and AUDIO LEFT/RIGHT outputs of OUT2 on the rear of the
DIRECTV Receiver to the corresponding video and audio inputs on the VCR. These outputs always output satellite
programming and are not affected by the A/V Matrix. Alternatively, you can connect the TO TV/VCR RF output to
the RF input on the VCR but this output will output the selected video source of the A/V Matrix when this feature is
enabled.
3. To use the A/V Matrix, you must use video output option C (VIDEOOUT1) or D (TO TV/VCR) from page 10 and
you must first enable it in the Main Menu (refer to page 28).
Note:For additional hookups and operation information, refer to the owner’s manuals for the devices you are
connecting to the DIRECTV Receiver.
