This section describes how to connect receiver TV1 output ports to a nearby TV. Select 
one of the following methods.
Note: If you would like to put the receiver in a remote location (closet, cabinet, etc.), be 
sure to get the replacement remote control that uses UHF Pro signals to control TV1. Call 
your DISH Network retailer or go to www.dishnetwork.com, select Shop, and then click on 
Accessories.
HDMI Connections
The HDMI connection provides high-quality audio and video to your HDTV or HD Monitor 
in one cable. If your HDTV or monitor has an HDMI connection available, this is the 
recommended connection.
Note: Connecting your TV directly to the audio/video outputs of your receiver will assure a 
more vivid picture and enhance your viewing enjoyment.
1
Connect an HDMI cable between the HDMI connection on the receiver and HDTV set or 
monitor. 
2
Turn on your receiver and TV using the front panel buttons.
3
Confirm that you are getting a picture from the receiver. Consult your HDTV user’s guide if 
you need to change your HDTV to display from the Digital Audio/Video input. 
4
If you do not see a picture, see No Picture on the Nearby TV on page 105.
Note: In most cases connecting the HDMI cable will provide plug-and-play control of the 
monitor’s display resolution and other settings. However, your HDTV may require 
selecting a different format to display from the receiver during setup.
5
Turn up the volume on your HDTV and confirm you have sound. If you don’t have sound, 
your system may require you to connect audio (red and white) RCA-type cables between 
the receiver audio outputs and audio input connections.
