Connecting Your Dish System
Chapter 12
CONNECTING YOUR DISH SYSTEM
1 Connect two RG-6 coaxial cables between the SATELLITE IN 1 and SATELLITE IN 2 ports on
the receiver’s back panel and two available ports on either the switch, LNBF, or DISH Pro
Plus Separator in your existing system.
Note: If you are installing your receiver in a system with DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus
LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the LNBF
and the receiver. You must use RG-6 coaxial cables rated up to at least 2150 MHz.
2 Peel off the blue stickers (found at the beginning of this User’s Guide) and affix them to the
cables near where they connect to the SATELLITE IN 1 and SATELLITE IN 2 connections on
the back of the receiver.
3 Connect the TV to the receiver, using one of the following connections:
• HDMI
• YPBPR
• AUDIO/VIDEO connection (RCA-type composite connection)
• S-VIDEO and LEFT/RIGHT AUDIO
• TV SET OUT
Note: Make sure the TV is set to the correct input for the RCA-type connection. Refer to
your TV user’s guide for assistance.
4 Connect either a phone line or Ethernet to the receiver so you can order Pay-Per-View
programs, use all of the DishHOME Interactive features, or use other services from DISH
with your remote control.
Note: You may be able to use a wireless modem jack. However, this product may not
support all the features of this receiver, such as Caller ID. If you have a Digital Subscriber
Line (DSL), you may have to install a DSL filter between the receiver’s back panel PHONE
JACK and the telephone wall jack to successfully connect with DISH. You can obtain a filter
from your DSL provider.
For additional information on doing this, see Connecting the Phone Line on page 95.
