Setup and Connections
Protect Your Components from Overheating
•
Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange
the components so that air can circulate freely.
•
Do not stack components.
•
Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a
stand.
•
Place an amplifier or digital satellite receiver on the top shelf of the
stand so heated air rising from it will not flow around other
components.
Jacks and Cables
Below is a description of the jacks and cables you can use to make
connections. Note that not all cables may come with your DIRECTV
System.
S-Video Jack and Cable
The S-Video jack provides the best picture quality for your DIRECTV
System.
This jack is available on many TVs and is used in conjunction with audio
cables to connect the digital satellite receiver to your TV. Remember also
to connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video jack
carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)
The RF jacks provide good picture and mono sound quality, and are to
be used if audio/video connections are not available for your TV.
These jacks are required for satellite dish antenna or cable-TV
connections. The RF jacks on the digital satellite receiver are labeled IN
FROM ANT and OUT TO TV.
