How to Set Up a Combo TV With a DVD & VCR to DirecTV

Attach satellite equipment to any television set.

Televisions with a built-in DVD and VCR give you the ability to view the video content without hooking up additional equipment to the TV set. However, there are still several other devices you may want to attach to the TV, including a DirecTV satellite receiver. This product hooks up directly to the TV, just like any other audio/video device.

Things You'll Need

• Component video cables
• RCA audio cables

Instructions

1. Insert the component cables into the "Component Out" ports on the DirecTV receiver. Make sure the color of the cables matches the same color as the connection ports.

2. Attach the other ends of the cables into the "Component In" ports on the television.

3. Plug the RCA audio cables into the "Audio Out" ports on the DirecTV receiver, then insert the free ends of the cables into the "Audio In" ports on the combo television.

4. Power on both the DirecTV receiver and the combo TV with built-in DVD and VCR. Push the "Input" button on the television's remote control, then select "Component" and the audio/video signal from the DirecTV recover is displayed on the television set.
