Cables Connections and explanation:

Digital Satellite TV service and over-the-air antenna are used to receive TV signals.

1. Connect a coaxial RF cable from the RF output on the satellite box and the DTV box to splitter.

2. Connect a coaxial RF cable from the output of the splitter to VCR RF input.

3. Connect a coaxial RF cable from VCR RF output to RF Modulator.

4. Connect a coaxial cable from RF Modulator to TV VHF input.

5. Connect RCA cables from common output on VCR/DVD to RF Modulator.


A/B Switch



If your satellite receiver does not offer an RF output, then use the yellow, white, red RCA outputs and connect these cables to the VCR yellow, white, red inputs. Be sure to select the proper inputs on the VCR. In this case, you do not need the splitter. Connect DTV converter box directly to VCR RF input.


Why would you want this configuration?


o To view TV shows including satellite and over-the-air local channels.
o To record TV shows from both sources.


What settings do you need for this configuration?

The satellite box and the DTV box should be setup to output on channel 3 (or 4). The VCR should be set to record channel 3 (or 4). The RF Modulator should be set accordingly to output on channel 3 (or 4) and the TV should be set to channel 3 (or 4). The VCR should be set to output on channel 3 (or 4).
