MITSUBISHI BRAND DIRECTV PLUS™ DIGITAL SATELLITE RECEIVER
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.
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.
Note: The RF connector OUT TO TV from the digital satellite receiver does not provide stereo
sound to your TV or VCR.
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 satellite programming.
You can also use the digital satellite receiver as a switch to select between satellite programming and
local broadcasts. This can be accomplished by pressing the
key 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.
Hook Up to a Stereo System
To achieve high-quality sound from the digital satellite receiver through a stereo system, simply
connect the AUDIO outputs (Left and Right) to an available input on your audio
system. First, look for an input labeled AUX. If you aren't using a compact disc
player or laser disc player, you can use one of those inputs, if available. The only
input that you should not use is one that is specified for a turntable/phonograph.
The following applications require that your audio system is equipped with
coaxial or optical digital inputs. Not all stereo equipment provides this type of
The phono-type audio cable and jack
input.
For two-channel digital stereo, connect one of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connectors. These are
labeled OPTICAL and COAX. Before using the OPTICAL connector, you must remove the protective
cover. Save this cover in case you ever need to transport your digital satellite receiver.
Warning: Before using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connectors with a standard PCM digital
bitstream decoder/receiver, set the Dolby Digital option to "Off" on the Advanced Preferences
screen in the digital satellite receiver's menus. Failure to do this could result in a high level noise
and could be harmful to your ears and equipment.
