Hook Up The Rf Signals - DirecTV HIRD-E6 Owner's Manual

If your VCR has a video input...
use an audio/video cable to connect the digital satellite receiver's VIDEO output to the video input on
your VCR. Also connect the pair of the digital satellite receiver's audio outputs (Left and Right) to the
audio inputs on your VCR.
If your TV has a video input...
connect an audio/video cable from the VIDEO output (from either the digital satellite receiver, if
available, or the VCR) to the video input on the TV. Also, connect the left and right audio outputs from
the same device that the video is coming from and connect them to the TV.
If you have a stereo system...
you may be able to achieve big speaker sound. See the "Hook Up to a Stereo System" section for the
necessary connections.
If your hookup is complete...
move on to the "Finishing Up" section.

Hook Up the RF Signals

Look at the back of your TV and VCR for RF inputs. These may be labeled 75-OHM, 300-OHM,
CABLE, FROM ANTENNA, VHF or UHF. These could appear either as a pair of screws or
an F-type connector as on the back of the digital satellite receiver.
The RF cable and jack
If your TV or VCR does not have threaded F-type connectors you will need to obtain
adapters which convert the round F-type RG-6 or RG-59 cable to the connectors on your
TV and/or VCR. These are sold separately and should be available from your dealer or an electronics
hardware store.
To connect your VCR...
use a coaxial cable to connect the OUT TO TV from the digital satellite receiver to the RF input section
on your VCR. This is the first place where an adapter may be needed if your VCR doesn't have the F-
type connector.
To connect your TV...
connect a coaxial cable from the RF output (from either the digital satellite receiver's OUT TO TV, if
available, or the VCR) to the RF input on the TV. This is the other place where an adapter may be
needed if your TV doesn't have the F-type connector.
Set the channel 3/4 selector switch on the back of the digital satellite receiver to the channel that is not
broadcast or has the weakest signal in your area. This will be the channel that you need to set your TV
and/or VCR to for viewing or recording DIRECTV PARA TODOS™ programming.
You can also use the digital satellite receiver as a switch to select between DIRECTV PARA
TODOS™ programming and local broadcasts. This can be accomplished by pressing the
on the remote control while the remote is in SAT mode. Also, you must connect your local signal,
either from an antenna or cable service, to the IN FROM ANT on the back of the digital satellite
receiver. If your antenna wire is not a coaxial type you will need an adapter as described earlier.
If you have a stereo system...
you may be able to achieve big speaker sound. See the "Hook Up to a Stereo System" section for the
necessary connections.
If your hookup is complete...
move on to the "Finishing Up" section.
