Using Your Components
To watch DIRECTV® programming:
Tune the TV to its S-Video or Video input channel (if you have difficulty finding your TV's S-Video or Video input channel, see your TV's User's Manual
or page 40 in this manual for more information). Then tune the satellite receiver to the desired channel.
To record DIRECTV programming:
Tune the satellite receiver to the desired channel. Then set your VCR to record on the proper input channel (video input channel if you connected the
digital satellite receiver to the VCR using A/V jacks and cables, channel 3 or 4 if using RF coaxial cable to make the connection).
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.

Very Good (S-Video) / Good (Video) Connection
Using S-Video (or Video) and Audio jacks and cables to
connect to the TV, RF coaxial cables to connect to the VCR
The S-Video connection provides better picture quality than a regular
(composite) video cable and should be used with TVs that don't have
component video inputs (remember to also connect audio cables since S-
Video carries no sound).
The Video connection provides better picture quality than an RF coaxial
cable alone and should be used with TVs that don't have component video
or S-Video inputs.
What you will need (see page 7 for descriptions of these cables):
• Two (2) RF coaxial cables
• Two (2) Audio cables
Cable or
• One (1) S-Video cable (for the S-Video connection)
Off-air
Antenna
- OR -
• One (1) Composite Video cable (for the Video connection)
CH3
• One (1) telephone line cord
CH4
• Coaxial cable lines fed from a digital satellite antenna and a standard TV
antenna (or cable feed)
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.
Note: If your VCR has Audio and Video input jacks, you can connect the
satellite receiver to the VCR using A/V cables instead of the RF coaxial cable.
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).
6. Connect the ends of the audio cables (white and red) in the supplied A/V
cables to the satellite receiver's AUDIO output jacks, and the other ends
to the corresponding AUDIO input jacks on the TV.
Note: Make sure you connect jacks corresponding to their labels. For example,
AUDIO R output on the digital satellite receiver should be connected to
AUDIO R input on the TV.
7. Connect either a the supplied S-Video cable or the video cable in the
supplied A/V cables to the satellite receiver:
A. Very Good (S-Video): Connect one end of the supplied S-Video cable to the
satellite receiver, and the other end to the S-Video input jack on the TV.
– OR –
B. Good (Video): Connect the end of the video cable (yellow) in the
supplied A/V cables to the satellite receiver's VIDEO output jacks,
and the other end to the corresponding video input jack on the TV.
