Connections & Setup
What you will need:
• Two (2) RF coaxial cables
• Three (3) Audio/Video cables
• One (1) telephone line cord
• Coaxial cable lines fed from a digital satellite antenna and a standard TV antenna (or cable feed)
Making the Connection
1. Connect the satellite dish antenna feed (RG-6 coaxial cable) to the SATELLITE IN jack on the satellite
receiver.
2. Connect one end of an RF coaxial cable to the OUT TO TV jack on the satellite receiver, and the other
end to the antenna input jack on the VCR.
3. Connect one end of an RF coaxial cable to the antenna output jack on the VCR, and the other end to
the TV’s antenna input jack.
4. Connect the cable or off-air antenna feed (RF coaxial cable) to the IN FROM ANT jack on the satellite
receiver.
5. Connect one end of the supplied telephone line cord to the PHONE JACK on the back of the satellite
receiver, and the other end to an RJ11-type modular phone jack (the most common type of phone
jack).
6. Connect the ends of the supplied A/V cables to the satellite receiver’s AUDIO and VIDEO jacks, and
the other ends to the corresponding AUDIO and VIDEO input jacks on the TV.
Note: Make sure you connect jacks and cables corresponding to their labels. For example, AUDIO R
output on the digital satellite receiver should be connected to AUDIO R input on the TV, VIDEO OUT
to VIDEO IN, etc.
If your TV only has one audio input jack, use the satellite receiver’s AUDIO L jack to make the
connection.
