1
Connect the RG-6 cable from the satellite antenna’s LNB to the DSS
receiver’s SATELLITE IN jack.
2
Connect the DSS receiver’s A/V jacks to the VCR and A/V
receiver’s A/V IN jacks.
3
Connect the VCR’s A/V OUT jacks to one set of the A/V receiver’s
A/V IN jacks.
4
Connect the A/V receiver’s MONITOR OUT jack to the TV’s
VIDEO IN jack.
5
Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the DSS receiver’s
TEL LINE jack. Connect the other end to your home’s modular
telephone outlet.
6
Connect one end of the AC power cord to the DSS receiver’s AC IN
jack. Connect the plug end to an AC outlet.
Optional Connections
Some VCRs label this jack RF IN,
instead of VHF/UHF IN.
If you have a cable input, cable box, or a terrestrial TV antenna,
connect it the VCR’s VHF/UHF IN jack.
Best Connection
: If your TV has an S-VIDEO jack, use an S-VIDEO
cable to connect the DSS receiver’s S-VIDEO jack to the TV’s
S-VIDEO IN jack. This provides the best picture quality. Then use
audio cables to connect one set of the DSS receiver’s audio jacks to
the A/V receiver’s AUDIO IN jacks.
Note
In this configuration, the A/V receiver must be turned on in order to pass the
video signals through to your TV. When watching a program that is protected
by Macrovision, turn the VCR off to ensure a quality picture.
