Hook Up the Audio/Video Signals
{

Most high-end TVs and VCRs have phono-type audio and video inputs. Look
at the back of your TV and VCR for three jacks—possibly color coded yellow,
white and red. They will be labeled something like

. 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.
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.

. These could
appear either as a pair of screws or an F-type connector as on the back of the digital
satellite receiver.
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.
