Before choosing the best connection for your entertainment system, you should connect the phone line.
This can be done by plugging one end of the provided telephone cable into the
PHONE LINE
jack on the back of your digital satellite receiver and the other end into
a telephone wall jack. If you do not have a telephone jack within reach, contact your
local phone company to arrange for a new jack to be installed or reorient your digital
satellite receiver to be within reach of a telephone wall jack.
To suit specific needs, you may need to purchase additional connectors and/or cables. These are
available from your dealer or electronic hardware stores. Choose which hookup method to use based
on:
•
The capabilities of your TV and VCR.
•
Your desire to pass local programming through the digital satellite receiver.
•
Any other devices you want to include in the system (stereo, second VCR, etc.).
We will guide you through the decision and connection process. But first, position yourself or your
equipment so that you are looking at the backs. Note the various input and output receptacles, their
shapes, and how they are labeled. Then read through the rest of this hookup section before proceeding
to an actual hookup.
Do not turn on the power yet. For your safety, leave your digital satellite receiver, TV, VCR, and any
other devices to be connected unplugged while hooking them up.
Hook Up the Audio/S-video Signals
Only the newest, high-end TVs and VCRs have S-video inputs. VCRs that support S-video include Hi8
and SVHS types. Look on the back of your TV and VCR for this special jack. It will be
labeled something such as S-VIDEO IN. If you are unsure, you can see the type of
connector that you are looking for on the back of your digital satellite receiver. If neither,
the TV or VCR has this jack, proceed to the “Hook Up the Audio/Video Signals” section.
This video hookup will give you the sharpest picture of any of the hookups. Also, this hookup will
allow you to view satellite 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
satellite programming and local broadcasts. You will use the input selection that your TV and/or VCR
offers to select the source.
If your VCR has S-video input…
use an S-video cable to connect the digital satellite receiver’s
S-VIDEO
output to the S-video input on
your VCR. Also connect one pair of the digital satellite receiver’s audio outputs (Left and Right) to the
audio inputs on your VCR.
If your TV has S-video input…
connect an S-video cable from the
S-VIDEO
output (either from the digital satellite receiver if
available or the VCR) to the S-video input on the TV. Also connect the left and right audio outputs
from the same device that the S-video is coming from and connect them to the TV.
If your hook-up is complete…
move on to the “Finishing Up” section.
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 IN (L and R), AUDIO IN, and VIDEO IN. If you are
unsure, look at these connectors on the back of your digital satellite receiver. If you
