CONNECTING YOUR “STB”  
Connecting Figure  
1. LOCATION OF THE RECEIVER  
Your “STB” should be placed under proper ventilation.  
Don’t put in completely enclosed cabinet that will restrict the flow of air, resulting in  
overheating.  
The location should be safeguarded from direct sunlight, excess moisture, rough  
handling or household pets.  
Avoid stacking other electronic components on the top of the receiver.  
The location should be safely accessible by the cable from your antenna system.  
2. CONNECTING THE RECEIVER WITH ANTENNA SYSTEM  
After installing your antenna system, connect the coaxial cable from the LNB of your  
antenna to “DISH INPUT” terminal marked at the rear of the STB.  
All cable connectors should be finger tightened; do not use any kind of wrench while  
tightening connectors.  
The cable should be 75 ohm impedance coaxial twisted at the end with an “F” type  
connector.  
3. CONNECTING THE RECEIVER TO TV  
To connect the receiver with your television, you can follow two methods: through RF  
cable, and through to RCA cable.  
Connect the RF cable to the terminal marked “TV” at the rear panel of STB and its other  
end to the TV RF input socket.  
In the case of connecting your TV through RCA cable, connect the Receiver Terminal  
marked Video to the TV Port.  
4. CONNECTING EXTERNAL AUDIO/HI-FI-SYSTEM  
To connect any external Audio Hi-Fi system, the receiver has been provided with two  
RCA connectors at the back of the receiver, marked with Audio L and R respectively to  
connect the Left and Right Audio.
