How to Connect a DVD Player With a Direct TV Satellite Receiver
- 1). Attach the RF coaxial cable from the wall jack to DVD player, attaching it to the "Signal input" coax connector of your DVD player.
- 2). Run a RF coaxial cable from the DVD player to the satellite receiver, attaching the DVD end of the cable to the "Coax Output" connection of the DVD player and the receiver end of the cable to the "Satellite In" coaxial connector in the rear of the receiver box.
- 3). Connect the two audio/video cables from the satellite receiver to the audio inputs of the television. Make sure you connect them according to audio signal side, left output from the receiver to the left input on the television, and right output to the right input.
- 4). Connect the S-video, component or HDMI cables from the receiver to the television to carry the video signal. Each cable type is capable of carrying a higher-quality video signal, with S-video capable of standard definition television and component and HDMI cables capable of carrying high-definition television signals. When using component cables, make sure to match the red, green and blue outputs on the receiver with the red, green and blue inputs on the television, using a single cable for each matching connection.
