The rear of the digital satellite receiver has numerous jacks for connection to your audio/video
entertainment system. You will also find the power cord permanently connected to the back.
The SATELLITE IN F-type jack is for connecting the cable from your satellite dish antenna to the digital
satellite receiver. Be sure that you use RG-6 cable only.
The IN FROM ANT F-type jack is an input where you can connect the cable from an RF terrestrial
source such as an off-air antenna or cable TV service. This is not where you should connect the cable
from the satellite dish!
The OUT TO TV F-type jack is an RF output which you may connect to your TV or VCR (depending
on your entertainment system). Note that the CH3/CH4 switch on the upper left enables you to select
the channel for your TV on which the DIRECTV PARA TODOS™ programming appears.
The phono-type AUDIO output jacks, labeled and color coded (L is white, R is red) to indicate left and
right, can be used for connection to your TV, VCR, or audio system. The phono-type composite
VIDEO output jack is color-coded yellow. You may use this jack for connection to your TV or VCR.
The multiple-pin S-VIDEO jack is for high-quality output of DIRECTV PARA TODOS™ System
video. Use this jack to achieve the clearest picture for your TV or VCR. Remember if you use this
connection, also use the audio jacks. Only newer high-end TVs, SVHS VCRs and Hi8 VCRs support
S-video connections.
The standard RJ-11 modular PHONE JACK is for connecting the digital satellite receiver to your
phone line. This phone connection is necessary to access certain program offerings from DIRECTV.
Any calls generated by the digital satellite receiver are toll free. The telephone line connection will not
normally interfere with your telephone operation. The digital satellite receiver will, however, call a
toll-free number briefly to report any purchased pay per view programs.

The Remote Control

The HRMC-1 remote control can control your DIRECTV PARA TODOS™ System and most TV
brands, as well as VCRs.
The remote control uses an invisible infrared light to send signals to your components when you press
the keys. You must aim the remote control toward the component for it to receive the command.
