Receiver Description and Installation
Connecting a VCR to the Remote TV
For this installation, always leave your VCR powered on so that
the TV can receive satellite programming. If you turn off your
VCR, your TV will not be tuned to the correct channel to receive
satellite programming.
1. Connect the tuner input of the remote VCR to an existing wall cable outlet
using a coaxial cable.
2. Connect a coaxial cable from the output on the VCR to the remote TV’s
tuner port.
3. Plug in and turn on the remote VCR and TV.
4. Tune the remote VCR to the remote TV channel that you use to watch
satellite TV programming (for example, channel 60) as set on page 33.
5. Write the channel number you tuned your VCR to in the previous step on
one of the
TV2
channel stickers. Place the sticker on or near the VCR. This
sticker will remind you which channel to use to watch satellite
programming. The stickers are located in the inside front cover of this
guide.
6. Set the VCR output to channel 3 or 4.
7. Tune the remote TV to the same channel that you set your VCR to in step 6.
8. Write the channel number you tuned your TV to in the previous step on one
of the
TV2
channel stickers. Place the sticker on or near the TV. This sticker
will remind you which channel to use to watch satellite programming. The
stickers are located in the inside front cover of this guide.
Optional - Connecting to an Off-Air Antenna or Cable
If you want to receive channels from an off-air antenna or cable in addition to
your satellite receiver programming, connect the off-air antenna/cable into your
TV distribution equipment.
For the nearby TV receiving programming from
CH 3–4 O
UT
, the off-air
antenna cable needs to be connected to the
TV A
NTENNA
/C
ABLE
I
N
port.
For remote TVs receiving programming from
CH 21-69 O
UT
, the off-air antenna
needs to be connected to your TV distribution equipment. When adding this
connection, the FCC requires that your install appropriate equipment between
the off-air antenna/cable and the satellite TV receiver to prevent you from
accidentally retransmitting DISH Network programming (see
FCC Compliance
in the
Appendix
).
TV distribution equipment devices include coax panels, amplifiers
or super home nodes, and are available through many companies. See
www.dishnetwork.com for a list of approved equipment.
