Choosing the Best Connection for Your
Entertainment System
There are a number of ways to connect the HD receiver, depending on the other audio/video
equipment you wish to use. The simplest hookups are described in the following
subsections.
Before connecting the HD receiver to your entertainment system, you
should connect the phone line. This can be done by plugging one end of the
provided telephone cable into the PHONE JACK on the back of the HD
receiver and the other end into a telephone wall jack. If you do not have a
telephone jack within reach, you should move the HD receiver to be within
reach of a telephone wall jack or have a new one installed.
To suit your specific needs, you may need to purchase additional connectors and/or cables from
your dealer or electronic hardware store. Choose which hookup method to use based on:
● The capabilities of your TV and VCR.
● Your desire to receive local terrestrial analog and/or digital programming through the HD
receiver.
● Any other devices you want to include in the system (stereo, second VCR, etc.).
Before attempting to connect anything, position yourself so you are looking at the back of your
components. Note the various input and output receptacles, their shapes, and how they are
labeled. Then read through the rest of this connection subsection before going ahead with the
actual hookup.
Note: For your safety, make sure the HD receiver, TV, VCR, and any other
devices to be connected are unplugged from the power outlet while hooking
them up.
Some of the connection methods described in this chapter may require
optional cables or accessories that are not included with your HD receiver.
