IMPORTANT
You cannot connect both a satellite receiver and a
digital cable box.
You may need to purchase an audio cable and an S-
video cable for this hookup.
If possible, you should have connected your VCR to
your TV with an S-Video cable. It will allow you to
watch the satellite video signal on your TV even
when the VCR is off if you set the Rear S-through in
the S-VHS Set-Up menu to ON.
If you connect your VCR to your TV with a standard
video cable, you will have to turn the VCR on to
watch the video signal from the satellite receiver.
You will be able to hear the audio signal from your
satellite receiver both when the VCR is on and off.
When you connect a satellite receiver to the S-video
input on the back of the VCR, you have to set the
Rear S-input in the S-VHS Set-Up menu to ON.
Refer to your Satellite Receiver Owner’s Guide for
Satellite dish to Satellite receiver connections, as
well as other possible video connections to your TV.
