Hook Up the Audio/Video Signals

{ XE "Hookup:video" } Most high-end TVs and VCRs have phono-type audio and video inputs. Look
The phono-type video cable and jack
This video hookup will give you a clearer picture than an RF hookup. Also, this hookup will allow you
to view DIRECTV System programming and local broadcast simultaneously on TVs that offer a
"picture in picture" (PIP) feature.
When using this hookup, you cannot use the digital satellite receiver as a switch to choose between
DIRECTV System programming and local broadcasts. Instead, you will use the input selection that
your TV and/or VCR offer to select the source.

Hook Up the RF Signals

{ XE "Hookup:RF" } Look at the back of your TV and VCR for RF inputs. These may be labeled
7 7 7 7 5 5 5 5 - - - - O O O O H H H H M M M M , 3 3 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - - - - O O O O H H H H M M M M , C C C C A A A A B B B B L L L L E E E E , F F F F R R R R O O O O M M M M A A A A N N N N T T T T E E E E N N N N N N N N A A A A , V V V V H H H H F F F F or U U U U H H H H F F F F . 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.

use a coaxial cable to connect the O O O O U U U U T T T T T T T T O O O O T T T T V V V V 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 c onne c t your TV...
connect a coaxial cable from the RF output (from either the digital satellite receiver's O O O O U U U U T T T T T T T T O O O O T T T T V V V V , if
available, or the VCR) to the RF input on the TV.
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 System programming.
SETTING UP THE DIRECTV SYSTEM
at the back of your TV and VCR for three jacks—possibly color coded yellow,
white and red. They will be labeled something like I I I I N N N N (L L L L and R R R R ), A A A A U U U U D D D D I I I I O O O O I I I I N N N N ,
and V V V V I I I I D D D D E E E E O O O O I I I I N N N N . If you are unsure, look at these connectors on the back of the
digital satellite receiver. If you have no jacks like these on your TV or VCR,
skip this section and proceed to the "Hook Up the RF Signals" section.
