Parts of the System
THE RECEIVER BACK PANEL
The back panel of the receiver provides the connections that you use to connect
the receiver to other electronic devices. It also provides the receiver power cord
and telephone jack. Depending on the setup that you use, you may only use
some of these connections. For information on wiring and wiring diagrams, see
the installation instructions in Chapter 4.
COAXIAL CONNECTIONS
The three coaxial connections on the back of your receiver are color coded.
When you install your receiver or if you ever have to move it, the color coding
will make it easier for you to connect the cables to the back of your receiver.
Inside the front cover of this guide are stickers that are color coded the same
way as the coaxial connections. See Chapter 4 for instructions on connecting
your receiver to other electronic devices using coaxial cables.
SATELLITE IN
Connect the coaxial cable between the satellite dish and the
receiver using this input. The S
ATELLITE IN connection is
color coded blue.
TV SET OUT
Connect the coaxial cable between the receiver and TV using this
input. The TV SET OUT connection is color coded white.
TV ANTENNA/CABLE IN
If you connect a cable TV box or a broadcast TV antenna to the
receiver, use the back panel TV ANTENNA/CABLE IN connection
for the local signal. The TV ANTENNA/CABLE IN connection is
color coded black. See TV/Video Button on page 8 for information
on how to use this input.
TELEPHONE JACK
Connect a telephone cable with a standard RJ-11 telephone
connector to the receiver here, and then connect the cable to an
active telephone line.
Note: The receiver must be connected at all times to an active telephone line. If
you install two or more receivers, each receiver must be connected at all times to
an active telephone line.
Tighten the
coaxial cable
connections only
by hand.
Tip: Using cable
labels makes it
easy to tell which
cables connect to
the right receiver
ports.
TV ANTENNA
/CABLE IN
Tip: If you have the
receiver connected
to a DSL (Digital
Subscriber Line)
phone line and it
cannot dial out,
you may have to
install a DSL filter
between the
receiver and the
telephone jack on
the wall.
