1) Connect the satellite dish antenna and terrestrial antenna or cable service to the HD
receiver following the instructions in “HD Receiver and Satellite Dish Antenna with Ter-
restrial Antenna or Cable Service” on page 2–3.
2) Connect one set of standard audio and video cables (one yellow video connector, one
white left audio connector, and one red right audio connector) to the back of the HD
receiver using the connectors marked AUDIO L, R and VIDEO. Connect the other end
of the audio and video cable to the back of the TV monitor using the AUDIO and VIDEO
inputs.
Optional: If your TV has an S-VIDEO input, then connect one end of an S-video cable
to the back of the HD receiver using the output marked S-VIDEO. Connect the other end
of the S-video cable to the back of the TV making sure to pair the S-VIDEO input with
the previously used audio inputs. If you use an S-video cable, you will not need to use the
yellow video cable.
3) Optional: If the TV does not have AUDIO and VIDEO input connectors, then connect
one end of a coaxial RF cable to the OUT TO TV connector on the back of the HD
receiver. Connect the other end of the coaxial RF cable to the antenna input connector on
the back of the TV. Set the CH3/CH4 switch to the channel not used in your area. This is
the channel you will select on your TV to view the HD receiver.
Note: 1) When the HD receiver is in standby (power LED off), the receiver will
pass the signal received at the “In From Ant” connector out of the “Out To
TV” connector unaltered. 2) When the HD receiver is turned on and set to the
HD (1080i) output mode, the HD receiver will pass the signal received at the
“In From Ant” connector out of the “Out To TV” connector unaltered.
3) When the HD receiver is set to the SD (480i) output mode, the channel the
HD receiver has selected will be changed to channel 3 or 4 and sent out of the
“Out To TV” connector. All other channels will be blocked.
