Step 2: Connect Your Digital
Satellite Receiver to Your TV and
VCR
During the satellite dish antenna installation, the digital satellite
receiver may have been connected to your TV with just a coaxial cable
for the system test. Depending on what components you have, another
connection may provide better picture and audio quality. The following
sections provide cable and connection information to help you decide
what connection is best for you.
Things to Know Before Connecting
Components
Protect Your Components from Power Surges
• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the
wall outlet.
• Always turn off the digital satellite receiver, TV and other
components before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum or
Interference
• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
Remote Control
Digital Satellite Receiver
• Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back panel
instead of straight down the middle after you connect your
components.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from the
audio/video cables as much as possible.
• Make sure all satellite dish antennas and cables are properly
grounded. Refer to the Safety sheet packed with your unit.

Setup and Connections
S-Video Jack
RF Jack
Protect Your Components from Overheating
• Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange
the components so that air can circulate freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a
stand.
• Place an amplifier or digital satellite receiver on the top shelf of the
stand so heated air rising from it will not flow around other
components.
Jacks and Cables
Below is a description of the jacks and cables you can use to make
connections. Note that not all cables may come with your DIRECTV
System.
S-Video Jack and Cable
The S-Video jack provides the best picture quality for your DIRECTV
System.
This jack is available on many TVs and is used in conjunction with audio
cables to connect the digital satellite receiver to your TV. Remember also
to connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video jack
carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)
The RF jacks provide good picture and mono sound quality, and are to
be used if audio/video connections are not available for your TV.
These jacks are required for satellite dish antenna or cable-TV
connections. The RF jacks on the digital satellite receiver are labeled IN
FROM ANT and OUT TO TV.

Step 3: Find the Video Input Channel on your TV
• Note: You do not need to complete this step if you used the
basic connection.
If you used the advanced connection, you must tune your TV to the
video input channel to see the satellite screens. Since there are so
many brands and models of TVs, there are just as many ways to
access a TV’s video input channel. Below are some things you can
try.
• If your TV brand is RCA, GE, or PROSCAN, press TV on the
remote control that came with your digital satellite receiver.
Then press the WHO•INPUT button on the remote.
• If your TV brand is not RCA, GE, or PROSCAN, consult your TV
Owner’s Manual.
If you cannot find your TV Owner’s Manual, you will have to
investigate. You might access the TV’s video input channel by:
• pressing a button on the remote control
• finding it through the TV’s menu system
• tuning directly to it by pressing a specific channel number
• going through all channels in the list by pressing the channel up
or down buttons on the TV
Below are lists of some of the different ways manufacturers label
the video input channel.
