CONNECTING TO THE NEARBY TV (TV1)

This section describes how to connect receiver TV1 output ports to a nearby TV. Select

one of the following methods.

Note: If you would like to put the receiver in a remote location (closet, cabinet, etc.), be

sure to get the replacement remote control that uses UHF Pro signals to control TV1. Call

your DISH Network retailer or go to www.dishnetwork.com

, select Shop, and then click on

Accessories.

HDMI Connections

The HDMI connection provides high-quality audio and video to your HDTV or HD Monitor

in one cable. If your HDTV or monitor has an HDMI connection available, this is the

recommended connection.

Note: Connecting your TV directly to the audio/video outputs of your receiver will assure a

more vivid picture and enhance your viewing enjoyment.

1 Connect an HDMI cable between the HDMI connection on the receiver and HDTV set or

monitor.

2 Turn on your receiver and TV using the front panel buttons.

3 Confirm that you are getting a picture from the receiver. Consult your HDTV user’s guide if

you need to change your HDTV to display from the Digital Audio/Video input.

4 If you do not see a picture, see No Picture on the Nearby TV on page 87.

Note: In most cases connecting the HDMI cable will provide plug-and-play control of the

monitor’s display resolution and other settings. However, your HDTV may require

selecting a different format to display from the receiver during setup.

5 Turn up the volume on your HDTV and confirm you have sound. If you don’t have sound,

your system may require you to connect audio (red and white) RCA-type cables between

the receiver audio outputs and audio input connections.
