Connections & Setup
What you will need:
• Two (2) RF coaxial cables
• Two (2) A/V cables
• One (1) S-Video cable
• One (1) telephone line cord
• Coaxial cable lines fed from a digital satellite antenna and a standard TV antenna (or cable line)
Making the Connection
1. Connect the satellite dish antenna feed (RG-6 coaxial cable) to the SATELLITE IN jack on the satellite
receiver.
2. Connect one end of an RF coaxial cable to the OUT TO TV jack on the satellite receiver, and the other end
to the antenna input jack on the VCR.
Note: If your VCR has A/V input jacks, you can use A/V cables to connect the satellite receiver’s second
A/V jacks to the A/V jacks of the VCR instead of using the RF coaxial cable.
3. Connect one end of an RF coaxial cable to the antenna output jack on the VCR, and the other end to the
TV’s antenna input jack.
4. Connect the cable or off-air antenna feed (RF coaxial cable) to the IN FROM ANT jack on the satellite
receiver.
5. Connect one end of the supplied telephone line cord to the PHONE JACK on the back of the satellite
receiver, and the other end to an RJ11-type modular phone jack (the most common type of phone jack).
6. Connect two ends of the supplied A/V cables to AUDIO R and L jacks on the satellite receiver, and the
other ends to the corresponding audio input jacks on the TV.
Note: Make sure you connect jacks by their labels. For example, AUDIO R on the digital satellite receiver
should be connected to TV’s right audio input jack, L Audio to L Audio, etc.
If your TV only has one audio input jack, use the satellite receiver’s AUDIO L jack to make the
connection.
7. Connect one end of the supplied S-Video cable to the satellite receiver, and the other end to the
S-Video input jack on the TV.
