Questions and answers
I hooked the optical cable to receiver and I have sound but no picture on TV. How do I hook up TV to receiver so I get a picture?
An optical cable only transmits audio, not video. To get a picture on your Insignia TV when using an optical cable for audio, you need to connect a video cable separately. Use one of the following video connections from the receiver to the TV:
1. S-Video – Connect an S-Video cable from the receiver's S-VIDEO OUT (TV) to the TV's S-VIDEO IN (TV).
2. Composite Video – Connect a video cable from the receiver's VIDEO OUT (TV) to the TV's VIDEO IN (TV).
Ensure the correct video input is selected on the TV. The optical cable should be connected to the digital optical jack on both the receiver and the TV if available, and the receiver should be set to OPTICAL input for audio.

I have satellite hooked up with optical. But still no picture. Where do you hook up TV?
To connect an Insignia TV with a satellite receiver using optical audio, follow these steps:
1. Ensure both the TV and satellite receiver have optical digital audio ports.
2. Remove the protective cover from each optical terminal.
3. Use a commercially available optical digital cable (not supplied).
4. Connect one end of the optical cable to the optical digital audio out port on the satellite receiver.
5. Connect the other end to the optical digital audio in port on the Insignia TV or receiver.
6. On the receiver, select OPTICAL as the input source.
7. Ensure the optical connection does not interfere with other components needing the same port.
This setup will provide better sound quality through the optical cable.

Where do you connect a dish receiver to the stereo?
Place the satellite receiver on the top shelf for proper ventilation. Connect the satellite receiver's audio output to the Insignia IS-HC040917 stereo using either digital optical or coaxial cables if available. If using digital optical, remove the cover from the optical terminal and connect the optical cable to the receiver's digital input jack, selecting "OPTICAL" input on the stereo. Ensure other components do not block the optical connection. If digital connections are unavailable, use standard audio cables to connect the satellite receiver’s audio output to the stereo’s audio input.

Trying to hook up my phone to my amp I have cables
To connect your Insignia IS-HC040917 amplifier to your phone using cables, follow these steps:
1. Check Your Phone's Output: Most phones use a 3.5mm headphone jack or USB-C/Lightning with an adapter.
2. Get the Right Cable: Use a 3.5mm to RCA cable (one end with a 3.5mm plug and the other with red and white RCA connectors).
3. Connect to the Amp: Plug the 3.5mm end into your phone’s headphone jack (or adapter). Connect the RCA ends to an available AUX or LINE IN input on the amplifier (match red to red and white to white).
4. Select the Input: On the amplifier, use the input selector to choose the corresponding AUX or LINE IN source.
5. Play Audio: Start playing music on your phone and adjust the volume on both devices.
If your phone only has USB-C or Lightning, use an appropriate adapter to convert it to 3.5mm before connecting.
