Connections & Setup

Jacks and Cables

Below is a description of the jacks and cables you can use to make connections. Not all cables come with your digital satellite receiver.

S-Video Jack and Cable

S-VIDEO

S-Video jacks/cables provide this receiver’s best picture quality. Remember to connect the left and right audio cables to the TV because the S-Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

LR

VIDEOAUDIO

Audio/Video (A/V) Jack and Cable (RCA-type)

Audio/Video (A/V) cables provide good picture quality and stereo sound, and should be used if your TV has no S-video jacks. The digital satellite receiver’s A/V jacks are color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). If your TV has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white) audio jack on the satellite receiver.

ANTENNA IN

RF Jack and Coaxial Cable (F-type)

RF jacks provide good picture and mono sound quality. They should be used if A/V connections are not available on your TV. RF jacks are used for off-air antenna and cable feed connections. The RF jacks on the receiver are labeled IN FROM ANT and OUT TO TV. The coaxial cable supplied with your system is used to connect the receiver to your TV/VCR’s antenna input jack.
