Receiver Description and Installation
Phono (RCA) Audio and Video Outputs
Two sets of color coded RCA A/V OUTPUT connectors provide
good quality standard definition audio and video. Use phono
RCA-type cables to connect these outputs to a VCR, for
example, for use in recording. You can also connect the audio
outputs for use with either of the HDTV video connections
(DISH DVI and YP
BPR) or the S-Video connection.
RCA Audio and Video Input
These input connections allow other devices (such as a VCR or
game console) to display content through the receiver audio/
video outputs. Use a phono RCA style cable to make the
connection to the outputs of other video source devices.
Note: While your receiver can convert the input to high
definition format on the DISH DVI or YP
BPR connections, the
receiver cannot convert the picture to high definition quality.
These inputs are selected as sub-channels of Channel 0 from the
program guide. See Using the Program Guide in Chapter 3 for
details.
Audio Digital Output
Connect to the AUDIO DIGITAL OUTPUT with an Audio Digital
Optical cable (available at consumer electronics stores). This
connection point is for use with high quality sound systems.
8VSB TV Antenna/Cable In
This input connection receives programming signals from either
local off-air broadcasters in both analog and digital broadcast
formats or a cable TV system. Use a coaxial cable to make this
connection to an external off-air antenna or a cable TV service. This
connector is color coded black.
This input connection can only be used if your receiver
is activated with qualifying DISH Network programming.
UHF Remote Control Antenna
This input connection receives UHF signals from the remote
control. Connect the UHF antenna here, and set it so it
doesn't touch anything. Set the antenna straight up so you
can use the remote control as far away as possible. This
connector is color coded green.
Satellite In
The SATELLITE IN connection point is used to connect your
DISH Network antenna to your receiver so you can receive
satellite TV signals. The connection is made using RG-6
coaxial cable. This connector is color coded blue.
Tip: For the best
viewing experience,
you should use the
off-air tuner
provided in your
DISH DVI-equipped
DISH HD satellite
receiver. The
satellite receiver’s
off-air tuner can
receive both analog
and digital off-air
broadcasts,
integrate off-air
programming into
its Program Guide,
and allow all of the
satellite and off-air
programming to be
viewed over a single
high-quality digital
connection.
Tip: Tighten the
coaxial cable
connections by
hand only.
