If you have a local TV antenna or cable
company service
Connect it to the VHF/UHF IN jack on your Digital
Satellite Receiver using a coaxial cable or RF
adapter (not supplied).
You can view local stations using your TV controls.

Note
You must use the VHF(SAT)/UHF OUT jack to
connect to your TV or VCR when a local TV antenna
or cable company service is connected to the
VHF/UHF IN jack (see “2c” below and on page 10).

If your TV has A/V input
jacks
Connect the VIDEO OUT
jacks on your Digital
Satellite Receiver to the
A/V input jacks on your TV
using the supplied A/V
cable. (Be sure to match the
colors on the jacks with the
colored plugs on the A/V
cable.)

If your TV has an S-Video
input
Use an S-Video cable
instead of the yellow video
connection. S-Video cable is
supplied with the SAT-A55
model and is an optional
accessory with the SAT-B55
model.
If your TV has only one
audio input, connect it to
the L(MONO) jack on the
receiver.

If your TV does not have
A/V jacks
Connect the VHF(SAT)/UHF
OUT jack to the VHF/UHF
input jack on your TV using
coaxial cable.
Set the CH3/CH4 switch to the
channel that does not carry off-
air broadcasts in your area.

Note
With this connection, your
input source is channel 3 or
channel 4 depending on how
you set the CH3/CH4 switch
on the receiver.
