This section describes how to connect the output jacks on the back panel of your Hopper
with Sling HD DVR or Joey Receiver to a nearby TV. Select one of the following methods.
Note: If you would like to put your receiver in a location, for example, inside a closet or
cabinet, etc., be sure to test that the UHF-2G signals control the correct TV. If you need
another remote control, contact your DISH retailer, or you can visit the www.mydish.com
website, select Upgrades, then Products, and click on Remote & Accessories.
HDMI Connections
The HDMI connection provides high-quality audio and HD/SD video to your HDTV or HD
monitor using one cable. If your HDTV or HD monitor has an HDMI connection available,
this is the recommended connection to use for your Hopper with Sling HD DVR.
Note: Connecting your TV directly to the audio/video outputs of your DISH receiver with
short cable(s) will assure a more vivid picture and enhance your viewing enjoyment.
1
Connect an HDMI cable between the HDMI connection on your DISH receiver and HDTV
set or HD monitor.
2
Turn on your Hopper with Sling HD DVR or Joey Receiver and the connected TV/monitor
using the front-panel buttons.
3
Confirm that you are getting a picture from the DISH receiver. Consult your HDTV user's
guide if you need to change your HDTV to display the signal from the correct Digital Audio/
Video input.
4
If you do not see a picture, see No Picture on TV Connected to Hopper on page 93.
Note: In most cases connecting the HDMI cable will provide plug-and-play control of the
HDTV or monitor's display resolution and other settings. However, your HDTV set may
require selecting a different format to display video from the receiver during its setup.
5
Turn up the volume on your HDTV and confirm you have sound. If you don't have sound,
your system may require you to connect stereo audio (red and white) RCA-type cables
between the receiver's analog audio outputs and your system's audio input connections.
