Connecting Your Satellite
Receiver to Your TV
If your satellite system has not been professionally installed, or if
you move your system or add a component, refer to these pages
to help you connect your system.
Jacks and Cables
S-Video Jack and Cable (S-VHS)
The S-Video jack provides the best picture quality for your satellite
system.
This jack is available on many TVs and is used in conjunction with
audio cables to connect the satellite receiver to your TV. Remember
also to connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video
jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound
quality, and should be used if your TV has no S-Video jack.
These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between
components. The satellite receiver audio/video jacks are color
coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left
audio). If your TV has only one input for audio (mono), connect it
to the right (red) audio jack on the satellite receiver.
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)
The RF jacks provide good picture and mono sound quality, and
are to be used if audio/video connections are not available for your
TV.
These jacks are required for antenna or cable-TV connections. The
RF jacks on the satellite receiver are labeled IN FROM ANT and
OUT TO TV. The coaxial cable supplied with your satellite system
is used to connect the RF jacks between the satellite receiver and
your TV’s antenna input.
