only
for an HCS7720 transcoder card.
The satellite dish antenna and a DISH Network
®
ViP
®
222k satellite receiver must be installed
and operating before you can proceed to set up the HCS7720. LG recommends that the system
be professionally installed.
Check the following items before you begin HCS7720 installation and setup procedures.
Satellite Dish Antenna
__ The satellite dish must be located where it will have unobstructed access to the satellite
signals. At least RG-6 or larger coaxial cables must be installed between the satellite dish
antenna system and the ViP 222k. Refer to documentation provided with the satellite dish
antenna.
__ For MPEG-4 HD program reception, a 3-LNB satellite dish configuration is required. If the
number of transcoders exceeds the satellite dish antenna capacity, multi-switch equipment
will be required. For more information, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.
Satellite Receiver
__ Refer to ViP 222k documentation, and carefully follow the system setup procedures for the
satellite receiver. (The satellite receiver provides the X-Port and HDMI signal inputs for the
HCS7720. Note that ViP 222 satellite receivers are not supported with HCS7720
transcoder cards.)
__ DISH Network authorization is required for HD programs. Contact DISH Network to get
subscription programming authorization for the ViP 222k satellite receiver.
ASI Output (Optional)
__ If applicable, install the DTV modulator and upconverter that will receive the ASI output
signal from the HCS7720. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.
HCS7720
__ Unpack the HCS7720 and all accessories.
HCS7720 Accessories:

CONTROLLER slot, you will need a copy of the Installation & Setup Guide for the feature
card in order to complete the HCS7720 system setup.
