Back Panel Jacks (in alphabetical order)
AUDIO (R and L) Audio cables offer better sound quality than RF coaxial cables. Connect a second set of audio cables to another component, such
as a VCR or stereo.
DIGITAL AUDIO Connects the satellite receiver’s audio to a Dolby Digital-capable receiver or decoder. This audio connection provides the best sound
quality. Use the optical DIGITAL AUDIO output cable (SPDIF) for this receiver’s best possible sound.
IN FROM ANT Connect a standard TV antenna or cable feed to the satellite receiver using this jack. You can then switch between the satellite
receiver’s signal and the TV/cable feed using the remote control’s ANTENNA button to toggle between the two.
LOW SPEED DATA This port allows you to connect your digital satellite receiver to future services and accessories as they become available. A
shielded cable and additional hardware may be required.
OUT TO TV Connects the satellite receiver to your TV or VCR using RF coaxial cable. This jack provides the most basic connection, carrying average
sound and video quality.
PHONE Connects the satellite receiver to a telephone line. The digital satellite receiver requires a telephone line connection to periodically
communicate with your program provider.
SATELLITE IN Use to connect the satellite receiver to the satellite dish antenna.
S-VIDEO Provides better picture quality than VIDEO or RF coaxial cable jacks. If your TV has an S-Video jack, use it along with the audio jacks (S-
Video only carries picture information, not sound) to connect to your TV.
VCR This jack allows the satellite receiver to control the VCR using an IR cable. The cable is attached above the VCR’s remote control sensor. This
connection is required for One-Touch Record and Timer recording features.
VIDEO Provides better picture quality than the OUT TO TV jack. Connect the second VIDEO jack to another device, such as a VCR. You must also
connect the AUDIO cables when using the VIDEO connection.
