Motorola Digital Satellite Receiver DSR500 Series User Guide
Make sure that the satellite receiver is not plugged into a power source before you connect any cables to the receiver. First connect the satellite input from your satellite dish to your receiver. There are several way to connect your DSR to your television or monitor and other home theater components.
Video: Utilize the modulated RF output (good), Composite video output (better), S-Video output (best for standard definition), or Component video outputs (best for high definition) to connect the DSR directly to your television, VCR, and home theater A/V receiver.
Audio: The modulated RF output also provides audio along with video to televisions or VCRs (good). Utilize the stereo audio output (better) or the electrical or optical Digital audio outputs (best) to connect the DSR directly to your television, VCR, and home theater A/V receiver. PPV: Connect the telco phone jack to a home telephone jack for Instant Pay-Per-View (IPPV) reportback. Star Choice will not permit IPPV unless this remains connected. Connect the external antenna input if applicable for local off-air TV broadcast. Plug the DSR power cord into a standard power outlet. Wait one minute, and then press the ON key located on the left side of the satellite receiver’s front panel.
Video and audio quality should be best when the DSR is connected directly to the primary output component, such as the television or monitor (for video), and the television or home theater A/V receiver (for audio). Use quality cables designed for these applications. If you are using the component video outputs, you may have to toggle the HDTV mode select button behind the flip-down door on the front panel. This toggles the HDTV output between 1080i, 480p, 480i, and native modes. Native mode (0000) is the original transmitted signal. You should leave this on native mode unless your TV or monitor requires a specific mode such as 1080i.
If you are using the RF output tune your TV to channel 3 or 4 to match the position of the channel 3/4 switch on the back panel of the satellite receiver. Home theater A/V receivers can provide a method to connect multiple input sources if your television does not have enough input connectors. Some home theater A/V receivers may also provide very good or enhanced quality. Refer to your home theater A/V receiver instructions for further information.
