Connection: DVD/VCR + TV + Satellite Receiver

The following instructions enable you to record the programs from your satellite receiver. Because the jack
confi guration and labels vary on different satellite receivers and televisions, the steps provided are general
guidelines. Consult your satellite receiver and/or television user's guides for additional information.
1. Satellite signal: Leave the cable in place that comes from the satellite dish and goes to the satellite
receiver.
2. Connect the satellite receiver to the DVD recorder
2a. Connect a coaxial cable to the satellite receiver's OUT TO TV jack, and to the RF IN jack on the
DVD recorder.
2b. Connect audio cables (red and white) to the satellite receiver's output jacks [sometimes labeled
Audio Left (white) and Audio Right (red)]. Connect the other ends of these cables to the
corresponding AUDIO INPUT L and AUDIO R jacks on the back of the DVD recorder.
2c. Connect the video cable (yellow) to the Video Output jack on the satellite receiver (sometimes
labeled VIDEO) to the VIDEO INPUT jack on the back of the DVD recorder.
2d. If your satellite receiver, has an S-VIDEO OUT jack, connect an S-Video cable to that jack and to
the S-VIDEO IN jack on the DVD recorder for improved picture quality.
3. Connect the DVD recorder to the TV
You need to connect cables from the DVD recorder's OUTPUT jacks to the TV's INPUT jacks
in order to see the content from the DVD recorder (whether it's a satellite program or a disc you're
playing).
3a. Connect an RF coaxial cable to the DVD recorder's RF OUT jack and to the TV's Antenna Input
jack (sometimes labeled CABLE/ANTENNA). It is important to make this connection so you can
watch satellite programs when the DVD recorder is off.
3b. Connect the audio cables.
A set of audio/video cables was packed with your DVD recorder. Connect the audio cables to the
AUDIO OUTPUT L (left – white) and R (right – red) jacks on the back of your DVD recorder,
and to the corresponding Audio Input jacks on your TV (sometimes labeled AUDIO IN L and R).
3c. Connect the video cable. The cables you use for the video determine the quality of the picture
you'll see on your TV when you're playing DVDs. For more information about cables and signal
quality, go to page 5.
Connect the video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO OUTPUT jack on the back of your DVD
recorder, and to the Video Input jack on your TV (sometimes labeled VIDEO IN).
S-VIDEO (not shown) If your TV has an S-VIDEO input jack, connect one end of an optional S-
Video cable to the S-VIDEO input jack on the back of the TV and the other end to the S-VIDEO
OUT jack on the back of the DVD recorder.
COMPONENT VIDEO Y, Pb, Pr (not shown) If your TV has Component Input Jacks (Y, Pb,
Pr), you can achieve even greater picture quality (DVD playback only) by connecting the DVD
recorder to the TV using these jacks (COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, Y, Pb, Pr on the DVD
recorder). For more explanation, go to page 5. Component Video cables not supplied with the
DVD recorder.
Notes:
If your TV is capable of progressive scan, connect the DVD recorder to the TV using the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and press the PSCAN button on the remote to toggle
between progressive scan and interlace.
4. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
