TV With A/V Connectors

If your TV has only one AUDIO IN jack, connect the lower (mono) AUDIO L jack on the Digital Satellite Receiver to the TV’s AUDIO IN jack.

Refer to the illustration below.

1 Connect the RG-6 cable from the Satellite Antenna’s LNB to the Digital Satellite Receiver’s SATELLITE IN jack.

2 Connect the Digital Satellite Receiver’s A/V jacks to the TV’s A/V IN jacks.

3 Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the Digital Satellite Receiver’s TEL LINE jack. Connect the other end to your home’s modular telephone outlet. Do not connect to a “wireless” telephone extension. Since these devices typically do not support high data rates, connecting to one may result in very slow operation or may even prevent connection with your program provider.

4 Connect one end of the AC power cord to the Digital Satellite Receiver’s AC IN jack. Connect the plug end to an AC outlet.

SAT-A4 receiver is pictured, but connections are identical for SAT-B3.

Your VHF/UHF IN jack may be labeled as RF IN.

Optional Connections

qIf you have a cable input, cable box, or a terrestrial TV antenna, connect it to the TV’s VHF/UHF IN jack.

qBest Connection: If your TV has an S-VIDEO jack, use an S-VIDEO cable to connect the Digital Satellite Receiver’s S-VIDEO jack to the TV’s S-VIDEO IN jack. This provides the best picture quality. Then use audio cables to connect one set of the Digital Satellite Receiver’s audio jacks to the TV’s AUDIO IN jacks.

qYou can also connect the Digital Satellite Receiver to your audio receiver’s AUDIO IN jacks using audio cables.
