If you are unsuccessful after trying all available codes, recheck your VCR
Control Cable connections and IR emitter placement.

the peel-and-stick backing. This will not interfere with normal VCR
operation.
Connecting a home
entertainment system
You can integrate the DIRECTV ® Receiver into your entertainment system to
take advantage of enhanced audio and video capability. Follow these
instructions to connect your DIRECTV Receiver.
• To connect the DIRECTV Receiver to your audio system, use A/V cables to
connect the satellite receiver to the audio receiver’s AUDIO IN jacks.
The A/V receiver must be
turned on in order to send the
video and video signal to your
TV.
• Dolby Digital - With the HAH-SA satellite receiver, you can enjoy
programs that contain a Dolby Digital sound track. We recommend that you
listen in surround sound for maximum enjoyment of these programs. You
can connect the stereo outputs of the HAH-SA to a receiver that contains a
Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder. This will provide you with three audio
channels in the front and a mono surround channel.
• To take full advantage of Dolby Digital programming, connect the HAH-SA
digital audio output to an external 5.1-channel Dolby Digital decoder or
receiver. This provides you with three front channels, two independent
surround channels, and an LFE (or subwoofer) channel.
1. Connect the satellite antenna RG-6 coaxial cable to the DIRECTV
Receiver’s SATELLITE IN jack.
2. Connect the DIRECTV Receiver’s A/V jacks to the VCR and A/V receiver’s
A/V jacks.
3. AUX, optical connection, and digital output connections – If your audio
receiver has optical digital connectors, connect the appropriate type of cable
to the DIRECTV Receiver’s
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT for two-channel digital
stereo. If your A/V receiver is also capable of decoding Dolby Digital, use
this connection in order to listen in full 5.1-channel surround sound. Refer
to page 25 for additional audio information.
4. Connect the VCR’s A/V OUT jacks to a pair of the A/V receiver’s A/V IN
jacks.
5. Connect the A/V receiver’s MONITOR OUT jack to the TV’s VIDEO IN
jack.
6. Plug the components into an electrical outlet.
Note: If you have connected a VCR to your entertainment system in a
way that routes the satellite receiver’s signal to your VCR before it reaches
the TV, you may see a distorted picture if you try to record (or view in some
instances) a copy-protected program. A
Can’t Tape symbol in the screen
banner identifies these programs.
