satellite receiver).
To view VCR recordings:
Tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever is set on the VCR as its output channel). Begin VCR playback as usual.

Basic Connection

Using RF Coaxial cables for all connections
This connection provides standard picture quality. This connection is only
recommended for use with TVs that do not have S-Video or A/V input jacks.
What you will need (see page 6 for descriptions of these cables):
• Two (2) RF coaxial cables
• One (1) telephone line cord
• Coaxial cable lines fed from a digital satellite antenna and a standard TV
antenna (or cable line)
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 one end of an RF coaxial cable to the OUT TO TV jack on the
satellite receiver, and the other end to the antenna input jack on the
VCR.
3. Connect one end of an RF coaxial cable to the antenna output jack on
the VCR, and the other end to the TV's antenna input jack.
4. Connect the cable box or off-air antenna feed (RF coaxial cable) to the
IN FROM ANT jack on the satellite receiver.
5. 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).
