Connect the RG-6 cable from the satellite antenna’s LNB to the DSS

2
Connect the DSS receiver’s audio OUT jacks to the audio receiver’s 
audio IN jacks.
3
Connect the DSS receiver’s A/V jacks to the VCR and TV’s A/V IN 
jacks.
4
Connect the DSS receiver’s VHF(SAT)/UHF OUT jack to the VCR’s 
VHF/UHF IN jack.
5
Complete one of the following to connect the VCR to the TV:
‰ Better Connection: If both your TV and VCR have A/V jacks, 
connect the VCR’s A/V OUT jacks to the TV’s A/V IN jacks.
‰ Good Connection: If your TV or VCR has only an RF jack, 
connect the VCR’s VHF/UHF OUT jack to the TV’s VHF/UHF 
IN jack.
6
Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the DSS receiver’s 
TEL LINE jack. Connect the other end to your home’s modular 
telephone outlet.
7
Connect one end of the AC power cord to the DSS receiver’s AC IN 
jack. Connect the plug end to an AC outlet.
Optional Connections
Some VCRs label this jack RF IN,
instead of VHF/UHF IN.
‰ If you have a cable input, cable box, or a terrestrial TV antenna, 
connect it the VCR’s VHF/UHF IN jack.
‰ Best Connection: If your TV has an S-VIDEO jack, use an S-VIDEO 
cable to connect the DSS receiver’s S-VIDEO jack to the TV’s 
S-VIDEO IN jack. This provides the best picture quality. Then use 
audio cables to connect one set of the DSS receiver’s audio jacks to 
the A/V receiver’s AUDIO IN jacks.
Note
When watching a program that is protected by Macrovision, turn the VCR off 
to ensure a quality picture.
