RF OR VHF CONNECTIONS (GOOD PICTURE AND SOUND)
Cable Connectors on
Receiver
The RF or VHF connections (also called the modulator connections) provide good picture
and good mono ("non-stereo") sound quality. Be aware that even if you have a TV and
other equipment that support stereo sound, this type of connection will give you only
non-stereo sound.
If you connect a cable TV box or broadcast TV antenna to the receiver, you must use the
RF or VHF connections for the local cable or broadcast television signal input and output.
This is true even if you use the phono (RCA) or S-VIDEO connections from the receiver
to gain quality for picture and sound. The following wiring setups include the RF or VHF
connections based on the assumption that you will also have cable TV or a broadcast TV
antenna.
This is the simplest wiring setup, and many people prefer it because it is easy to install
and use. The RF or VHF connections require that you keep the TV tuned to either
channel 3 or 4 to view satellite channels.
Using the RF or VHF connections allows you to quickly switch from satellite
programming to local or cable programming using one of the following methods:
• Press the TV/Video button on the remote, or
• Turn OFF the receiver
