Connecting Your DVR
Make sure that the satellite receiver is not plugged into a power
source before you connect any cables to the receiver. First
connect the satellite input from your satellite dish to your
receiver.
There are several way to connect your DVR to your television
or monitor and other home theater components.
Video: Utilize the modulated RF output (good), Composite video
output (better), S-Video output (best for standard definition), or
Component video outputs (best for high definition) to connect the
DVR directly to your television, VCR, and home theater A/V
receiver.
Audio: The modulated RF output also provides audio along with
video to televisions or VCRs (good). Utilize the stereo audio
output (better) or the electrical or optical Digital audio outputs
(best) to connect the DVR directly to your television, VCR, and
home theater A/V receiver.
PPV: Connect the telco phone jack to a home telephone jack for
Instant Pay-Per-View (IPPV) reportback. Star Choice will not
permit IPPV unless this remains connected.
Connect the external antenna input if applicable for local off-air
TV broadcast.
Plug the DVR power cord into a standard power outlet. Wait one
minute, and then press the ON key located on the left side of the
satellite receiver’s front panel.
Notes:
Video and audio quality should be best when the DVR is
connected directly to the primary output component, such as the
television or monitor (for video), and the television or home
theater A/V receiver (for audio). Use quality cables designed for
these applications.
If you are using the component video outputs, you may have to
toggle the HDTV mode select button behind the flip-down door
on the front panel. This toggles the HDTV output between 1080i,
720p, 480p, 480i, and native modes. Native mode (0000) is the
original transmitted signal. You should leave this on native mode
unless your TV or monitor requires a specific mode such as
1080i.
If you are using the RF output tune your TV to channel 3 or 4 to
match the position of the channel 3/4 switch on the back panel
of the satellite receiver.
Home theater A/V receivers can provide a method to connect
multiple input sources if your television does not have enough
input connectors. Some home theater A/V receivers may also
provide very good or enhanced quality. Refer to your home
theater A/V receiver instructions for further information.
