Receiver Description and Installation
Tip: The six coaxial
connections on the
back of your
receiver are color
coded to make the
connectors easy to
identify. Inside the
front cover of this
guide are stickers
that are color
coded the same
way as the coaxial
connections. See
the installation
instructions
starting on page 24
for information on
how to use the
stickers on the
coaxial cables.

TV1 Connections
The following connections provide the menu displays and programming to your
TV.
TV CH 3–4 Out (Good)
The
connection provides good quality video and
TV CH 3–4
mono (non-stereo) audio to your nearby TV. Use a coaxial
cable to make this connection. The
color-coded white.
RCA Out (Better)
The
audio/video outputs provide high-quality picture and full
RCA
stereo sound to your nearby TV (if your TV has these connections).
Use RCA-type cables to make this connection. If the TV has only
one (monophonic) input for this type of audio, connect it to the right
(R) phono-plug audio output port on back of the satellite receiver.
S-Video Out (Best)
The
connection provides the highest quality standard-
S-V
IDEO
definition video signal to your nearby TV (if your TV has this
input connection). Use an S-Video cable to make the connection.
If you use this back panel output for the video connection
between the receiver and your TV, then you must still connect the
audio using the
P
HONO
stereo phono plug (RCA-type) cables, as shown above.
