RF Jack and Coaxial Cable (F-type)
RF jacks provide good video imaging and mono-quality sound. RF jacks
and cables should be used if A/V connections are not available on your
TV. RF input jacks are also used for off-air antenna, and cable feeds. The
RF jacks on the receiver are labeled IN FROM ANT, and OUT TO TV. The
coaxial cable supplied with your system is used to connect the receiver
to your TV/VCR’s antenna input jack.
RSA Software Upgrades via Satellite
The digital satellite receiver is able to modify some of its features and
functions with downloaded RSA-secure upgrades or modifications. RSA-
secure downloads ensure that only authorized upgrades are delivered to
your RCA digital satellite receiver.
S-VIDEO jack
Provides better picture quality than A/V or RF coaxial cable jacks. Use
the S-video connection along with audio cables because S-Video only
carries picture information, not sound.
SATELLITE IN
This jack allows a connection between the satellite receiver and the
satellite system’s dish antenna.
Telephone Jack and Cord
The telephone line cord is required to connect your satellite receiver to a
telephone line if you choose to subscribe to DIRECTV
®
programming.
The phone line connection is used to periodically call out to DIRECTV.
You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack (the most common type of
phone jack). If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local telephone
company to find out how to get one installed.
Universal Remote Control
Description: A remote control that provides complete satellite system
operation, and primary function control of most brands of remote-
controllable TVs, VCRs, and cable boxes.
