Excellent Connection

Using A/V Cables for component video and A/V connections
for the TV and VCR
This connection provides this receiver's best picture quality, surpassing that of
S-Video. The component video connection is recommended for use with
HDTVs and multimedia monitors.
Component Video provides the best picture quality (breaking the video signal
into three separate parts). Remember to connect audio cables as well.
What you will need (see page 7 for descriptions of these cables):
• Eight (8) A/V cables
• Three (3) video grade (or component video) cables
• One (1) telephone line cord
Cable or
• Coaxial cable lines fed from a digital satellite antenna and a standard TV
Off-air
Antenna
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 the cable box or off-air antenna feed (RF coaxial cable) to the IN
FROM ANT jack on the satellite receiver.
3. 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).
4. Connect the ends of the supplied A/V cables to the AUDIO and VIDEO
jacks on the back of the digital satellite receiver. Connect the other ends
of the A/V cables to the corresponding Audio/Video input jacks on the
back of the VCR.
Note: Make sure you connect jacks corresponding to their labels. For example,
the VIDEO output on the digital satellite receiver should be connected to VIDEO
input on the VCR, the AUDIO R output to the VCR's right audio input jack, etc.
5. Connect the ends of a second set of A/V cables (not supplied) to the
AUDIO and VIDEO output jacks on the VCR. Connect the other ends of the
A/V cables to the corresponding Audio/Video input jacks on the back of
the TV.
6. Connect the ends of the component video cables (not supplied) to the
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks on the digital satellite receiver. Connect the
other ends of the component video cables to the corresponding input
jacks on the back of the TV.
Note: Make sure you connect jacks corresponding to their labels. For example,
the Pr output on the digital satellite receiver should be connected to the Pr
input on the TV, the Pb output to the Pb input, etc.
7. Connect cables to the digital satellite receiver's second AUDIO output jacks
and the other ends to the corresponding Audio input jacks on the TV.
