The rear of the DST-3000 receiver has numerous jacks for connection to your audio/video
entertainment system. You will also find the power cord permanently connected to the back.
The SATELLITE-IN F-type jack is for connecting the cable from your satellite dish antenna to the
DST-3000 receiver. Be sure that you use RG-6 cable only. The SATELLITE-IN F-type jack can also
accept a terrestrial analog or digital input when combined with the satellite signal using a diplexer.
Note: Refer to “HD Receiver and Satellite Dish Antenna with Terrestrial
Antenna or Cable Service” in Chapter 2 for more information on using a
diplexer. This is an advanced installation technique and professional
installation is recommended.
The IN FROM ANT jack is for connecting a terrestrial analog or digital input to your DST-3000
receiver.
The OUT TO TV F-type jack is an RF output that you may connect to your standard definition
(SD) TV or videocassette recorder (VCR) (depending on your entertainment system). Note that
the
CH3/CH4 switch enables you to select the channel on which DST-3000 receiver signals will
appear. Set your TV or VCR to match this.
Three component video output jacks Y (Luminance), P
r
(the amount of color Red is different
from Luminance), and P
b
(the amount of color Blue is different from Luminance) are connected
to a High Definition (HD) monitor set to achieve highest quality video images. The output format
is always 1080i.
The phono-type AUDIO output jacks, labeled and color-coded ( L is white, and R is red) to indicate
Left and Right, can be used for connection to your SDTV, VCR, or audio system. The phono-type
composite
VIDEO output jack is color-coded yellow. You may use this jack for connection to your
SDTV or VCR. The multiple-pin S-VIDEO jack is for high-quality video output. Use this jack to
achieve the clearest picture for your TV or VCR. The output format is 480i.
The VCR CONTROL mini-jack is for connecting the VCR control cable that is included with
the system. With this cable, the DST-3000 receiver can interface with most popular brands of
VCRs to record selected programs automatically.
There is one DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector which is OPTICAL. It provides signals for
connection to a Dolby
®
Digital decoder.
The RF REMOTE jack is provided for future accessory use.
The standard RJ-11 modular PHONE JACK is for connecting the DST-3000 receiver to your
telephone line. This telephone connection is necessary to access certain program offerings such
as Pay Per View. Telephone calls generated by the DST-3000 receiver are toll-free. The telephone
line connection will not normally interfere with your telephone operation.
