 Receiver Back Panel
S-Video Out
The S-VIDEO connection provides the highest quality video 
available to your nearby TV (if your TV has this connection). 
Use an S-Video cable to make the connection. If you use this 
back panel output for video between your receiver and 
nearby TV, you must still connect the audio using the 
PHONO 
(RCA) A
UDIO LEFT/RIGHT OUTPUTS and Phono (RCA) cables.
TV Antenna/Cable In 
The TV ANTENNA/CABLE IN is used if you want the satellite 
receiver to connect the tuner of the nearby TV to an off-air 
antenna or cable TV system when the satellite receiver is 
turned off or when using the TV/VIDEO button on Remote 
Control 1. Use a coaxial cable to make this connection to an 
off-air antenna or cable TV system. The 
TV ANTENNA/
C
ABLE IN connection is color coded black. Your nearby TV 
must be connected to the 
CHANNEL 3-4 output to use this 
feature.
 TV2 Connections 
The following connections provide TV2 menus and programming to the 
remote TVs.
Ch 21–69 OUT
The CH 21–69 OUT connection provides good quality video 
and mono (non-stereo) audio for the remote TV(s). 
Use a coaxial cable to make this connection to your home 
cable system. Remote TVs connected to the home cable 
system can receive programming from this receiver output. 
The 
CH 21–69 OUT connection is color coded yellow.
• If connecting directly to a TV tuner port, you must install the 
attenuator in the cable between the 
CH 21–69 OUT port and the 
TV tuner.
• If connecting to your in-home cabling system to distribute the 
signal to a TV(s) in other rooms, in most cases you will not 
have to install the attenuator for most in-home cabling systems.
When connecting to the home distribution (
CH 21–69 OUT)
coaxial port, you must meet requirements covered under FCC
Compliance in the Appendix. To meet these requirements, an in-
line coaxial attenuator has been included with your receiver and
may need to be installed using the following guidance:
Tip: If you connect 
a cable to the TV 
A
NTENNA/CABLE IN 
port, attach the 
black sticker to the 
cable near where it 
attaches to the 
receiver. The 
stickers are 
located inside the 
front cover of this 
guide.
