off-air TV antenna to the IN FROM ANTENNA jack on the back of
the DIRECTV Receiver.

TEL LINE jack on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver.
5 Matching like colors, connect the supplied A/V cable to the AUDIO OUT and
VIDEO OUT jacks on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver.

jacks on your A/V receiver. Be sure to connect the outputs on the DIRECTV
Receiver to corresponding inputs on your A/V receiver (video out to video in,
left audio out to left audio in, right audio out to right audio in).
7 Connect another set of A/V cables (not included) to the second set of audio
and video output jacks on the the back of the DIRECTV Receiver.

input jacks on your TV. Be sure to connect the outputs on the DIRECTV
Receiver to corresponding inputs on your TV.
