Satellite to AV Receiver

Hi All,

I have a Denon AVR 1707, and I was wondering whether I could directly attach a signal input from satellite to it.
The problem is that I have placed the receiver in my living room and I have taken the AV out from that and then with a coaxial cable passed it to the other room where teh Denon AVR is placed.
I see a coaxial input to it, but I was not sure that it will take an input from the wall output of the satellite as it said it was RF antenna input. If I cant connect it directly how can I convert that signal to a RCA input for my Denon system

Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

Regards,
Nitin

Nitin, welcome to the forum!

The coax input on the Denon is almost surely for the radio tuner, so I don't believe that will do you any good here.

Would you please help clarify something for me? As I understand it, your satellite receiver (and I'm assuming this is for television...like DISH or DirecTV) is in one room and your Denon is in another room. Now, what I don't quite understand is what you've run between the two. Did you connect a coax cable to the back of the satellite receiver (into the screw-on coax output) and run that into the room with the Denon?

Hi Adam,

You have understood me correctly. The reciever from Dish network is coming in one room. I have attached the RCA to RCA from that reciever to my TV. There is a coax out from the reciever from which I run the signal to the other room which has Denon in it with a coax cable. So the out of that cable is Coax and now I have a problem of attaching that coax to my denon as according to the specs and also as u mentioned there is no coax input into my Denon AVR.
So now how can I solve this problem. Is there any converter which I can use to change the signal.

Regards,
Nitin

Do you use basic cable or do you have 5.1/HD capability?

If you have 5.1 capability, there should be either a digital coax or optical out on the back of your Sat Box that you can run a cable directly into your receiver.

Otherwise, using the red/white 2-channel RCA's will work too for 2-channel stereo.

I have a basic cable.
I think you didnt get what I want to do. I need something which will change my coax output to RCA input as my Denon AVR doesnt have a coax input.
I have connected the RCA of the reciever to my TV and I have a coax out on the reciever which I need to change to RCA input.

For standard definition video, you want to use the best connection you have on your display and sat box. They are listed in the following priority:

HDMI (limit to 20 or 30 feet for reliable signal)
Component Cables (3)red, green, blue
S Video
Composite (yellow)

For audio, you should run digital optical\coaxial if you have it. Run red, white analog if that is all you have.

Blue Jean Cables is supposed to be coming out with a dual HDMI cable good to 50feet any day now so check with them if that is what your equipment will support.(480i)

Hi

I think I am confusing everybody with my posts. After searching for what my problem is I need a demodulator or a tuner which will turn my coaxial RF signal to 3 yellow, red and white RCA signal.
Can anybody suggest me a good Demodulator or tuner for converting Coaxial signal to RCA signal.

Is there no other way to audio and video out of that satellite box? What satellite receiver make/model is it?

Using an RF demod would work, but it'll be suboptimal...

I don't have any recommendations for a demodulator, but I'm looking for another avenue.

There are two outputs from the satellite receiver. One is 3 RCA output and another one is coax. I have connected the RCA to my living room TV and now I want to send the other output to my home theater. The coax wires are already there which sends signal to my home theater, if I dont find anything which would do these then I would just have to buy 50 ft long RCA cable and connect that thru my rooms.... which would look bad...

Painitin,

An RF modulator I think (I did not search good enough) only input from 3 rca jacks (yel or s-video, wht & red) and output to coaxial anthena. I did not find any modulator that can input from coax to rca jacks and s-video. I think the RF modulator is design for old tv that does not have an rca or any digital input but only coaxial in.
I think your best bet is to connect your sat box coax out to tv coax anthena in and from sat box rca audio (red & white) to av receiver. Run that 50ft cable or take that receiver and place besides your tv and sat box.
Buy the cable from monoprice.com, they are cheaper I guess.
