Receiver Description and Installation

Phono (RCA) Audio and Video Outputs

Two sets of color coded RCA A/V O

UTPUT

connectors provide

good quality standard definition audio and video. Use phono

RCA-type cables to connect these outputs to a VCR, for

example, for use in recording. You can also connect the audio

outputs for use with either of the HDTV video connections

(DISH DVI and YP

B

P

R

) or the S-Video connection.

RCA Audio and Video Input

These input connections allow other devices (such as a VCR or

game console) to display content through the receiver audio/

video outputs. Use a phono RCA style cable to make the

connection to the outputs of other video source devices.

Note

: While your receiver can convert the input to high

definition format on the DISH DVI or YP

B

P

R

connections, the

receiver cannot convert the picture to high definition quality.
These inputs are selected as sub-channels of Channel 0

from the

program guide. See Using the Program Guide in Chapter 3 for

details.

with an Audio Digital

Optical cable (available at consumer electronics stores). This

connection point is for use with high quality sound systems.

8VSB TV Antenna/Cable In

This input connection receives programming signals from either

local off-air broadcasters in both analog and digital broadcast

formats or a cable TV system. Use a coaxial cable to make this

connection to an external off-air antenna or a cable TV service. This

connector is color coded black.

This input connection can only be used if your receiver

is activated with qualifying DISH Network programming.

UHF Remote Control Antenna

This input connection receives UHF signals from the remote

control. Connect the UHF antenna here, and set it so it

doesn't touch anything. Set the antenna straight up so you

can use the remote control as far away as possible. This

connector is color coded green.

The S

connection point is used to connect your

DISH Network antenna to your receiver so you can receive

satellite TV signals. The connection is made using RG-6

coaxial cable. This connector is color coded blue.

Tip: For the best
viewing experience,
you should use the
off-air tuner
provided in your
DISH DVI-equipped
DISH HD satellite
receiver. The
satellite receiver’s
off-air tuner can
receive both analog
and digital off-air
broadcasts,
integrate off-air
programming into
its Program Guide,
and allow all of the
satellite and off-air
programming to be
viewed over a single
high-quality digital
connection.

Tip: Tighten the
coaxial cable

connections by
hand only.
