Below is an example of how to connect a VCR to your satellite TV system. 

Note: Connecting your TV directly to the satellite receiver provides the best audio and 
video quality.

1

Connect the tuner input of the remote VCR to an existing wall cable outlet using a coaxial 
cable.

2

Connect a coaxial cable from the output on the VCR to the remote TV’s tuner port.

3

Plug in and turn on the remote VCR and TV.

4

Tune the remote VCR to the remote TV channel that you use to watch satellite TV 
programming (for example, channel 60) as set on page 108.

5

Write the channel number you tuned your VCR to in the previous step on one of the TV2 
channel stickers. Place the sticker on or near the VCR. This sticker will remind you which 
VCR channel to use to watch satellite programming. The stickers are located in the inside 
front cover of this guide.

6

Set the VCR output to channel 3 or 4.

7

Tune the remote TV to the same channel that you set your VCR to in step 6.

8

Write the channel number you tuned your TV to in the previous step on one of the TV2 
channel stickers. Place the sticker on or near the TV. This sticker will remind you which 
channel to use to watch satellite programming. The stickers are located in the inside front 
cover of this guide.

For this installation, always leave your VCR powered on so that the TV can 
receive satellite programming. If you turn off your VCR, your TV will not be 
tuned to the correct channel to receive satellite programming.
