Consult your satellite receiver and/or television user's guides for additional information. 1. Satellite signal: Leave the cable in place that comes from the satellite dish and goes to the satellite receiver. 2. Connect the satellite receiver to the DVD recorder 2a. Connect a coaxial cable to the satellite receiver's OUT TO TV jack, and to the RF IN jack on the DVD recorder. 2b.

Connect the video cable (yellow) to the Video Output jack on the satellite receiver (sometimes labeled VIDEO) to the VIDEO INPUT jack on the back of the DVD recorder. 2d.
