Jacks and Cables

Please read through the description of the jacks and cables included with your Multi-Satellite Receiver. Use these cables to connect your Multi-Satellite Receiver to your TV, VCR, and phone line.

RF Jacks and Coaxial Cable

The TV OUT RF jack requires a coaxial cable connection. It outputs monaural sound and a good TV picture. Use this connection if audio/video jack connections are not provided on the back of your TV set. Make this connection with the provided RF coaxial cable. RF jacks are also used for terrestrial antenna (IN FROM ANTENNA) and satellite dish antenna (SATELLITE IN) input connections.

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

Audio/Video jacks and cables output stereo sound and a better TV picture than the RF jacks and cables. Use these jacks and cables to connect your receiver to your TV or to other components such as a stereo receiver or amplifier. The audio/video jacks found on the back of the receiver and the audio/video cable connectors are color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio and white for left audio). If your TV set only has one audio input, connect it to the red (right) audio cable connector.

Telephone Jack and Cord

DIRECTV requires your Multi-Satellite Receiver to be connected to a telephone line. Use the TEL LINE jack and the included telephone cord to complete this connection. If your home does not have RJ-11 type phone jacks, please contact your phone company to get one installed.

Please note that periodically, purchase information is sent from the Multi-Satellite Receiver via your telephone line to a toll free 1-800 number. These calls are typically made in the middle of the night; your phone is in use for approximately 30 seconds.
