If the power supply (power cord) becomes damaged or needs to be replaced, please contact DIRECTV Customer Service to obtain an authorized replacement. 10. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not ﬁt into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.11. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit the apparatus.12. Use only attachments/accessories speciﬁed by the manufacturer.13. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table speciﬁed by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.14. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.15. Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

7SAFETY & CARECAUTION: Avoid moisture to reduce the risk of ﬁre or electric shock. The DIRECTV® Receiver should not be used near water (for example, kitchen sink, bathtub, pool, damp basement). Also, never spill liquid on the receiver. Do not place vases or other vessels containing liquid on top of it.WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁre or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.WARNING: Use only the power supply (power cord) that came with your DIRECTV receiver. Failure to use the authorized power supply (power cord) may cause electric shock, ﬁre, bodily injury and/or property damage. If the power supply (power cord) becomes damaged or needs to be replaced, please contact DIRECTV Customer Service to obtain an authorized replacement.IMPORTANT: Be sure not to place your DIRECTV® Receiver near anything WET or HOT!If this product is rated at 240VAC, a suitable attachment plug should be used.TIP: We highly recommend plugging the DIRECTV® Receiver into a surge protector to prevent damage from ﬂuctuations in your power supply. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back).No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel.CAUTIONRISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN!• Ensure proper ventilation — the vent slots on the DIRECTV® Receiver must be left uncovered to allow proper airﬂow to the unit. Blocking the airﬂow to the unit could impair performance or damage your receiver and other components.• Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DIRECTV® Receiver. Also, do not stack the receiver on top of a “hot component” such as an audio power ampliﬁer.• Protect your components from power surges by connecting all the components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet. Use of a surge protector is also recommended.• Don’t overload power outlets or extension cords, which can result in the risk of re or shock. It’s also important to use only the type of power source indicated on the marking label or in this manual.• Avoid audio hum or interference by inserting all cable plugs ﬁrmly into their jacks. Also, place Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the sides of the TV back panel rather than down the middle once connected. Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from A/V cables as much as possible.• Never insert objects of any kind into any openings in the DIRECTV® Receiver (other than the DIRECTV® Access Card as detailed in this manual).• Place it on a at, hard surface — do not operate the DIRECTV® Receiver on a carpet or other padded surface.• Always unplug your DIRECTV® Receiver before moving it.• Always unplug the DIRECTV® Receiver, TV and other equipment before you connect or disconnect any cables.• The only way to disconnect the DIRECTV® Receiver from the power supply is to remove the power cord. The DIRECTV® Receiver unit must therefore be installed next to the power point which must be easily accessible.• CAUTION: Electric Shock — never attempt to disassemble the DIRECTV® Receiver yourself; always take it to a qualiﬁed service person when repair is required. Opening or removing covers may expose dangerous voltage or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause shock when receiver is subsequently used. Attempted self-repair may also void your warranty. Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (by the warranty or by the manufacturer) could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.• Do not drop your DIRECTV® Receiver and always move it with care.• Have your DIRECTV® Receiver professionally serviced (do not attempt to service it yourself).• Any changes or modications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.• If you move your DIRECTV® Receiver between locations at different temperatures, allow it to reach room temperature before you apply power to it.• Do not pick up or otherwise move your DIRECTV® Receiver while it is connected to the AC power supply. If you want to move your set-top box, ﬁrst disconnect it, then wait at least 30 seconds before continuing.• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of re, use only No. 26 AWG or better telecommunications line cord.• CAUTION: Replace remote control batteries with same or equivalent type. There is danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced.• For your information: The identication sticker can be located behind the small door on the front panel of your receiver.• The telecommunication network voltage used is the category number 3.Note to Satellite Dish Installer: This reminder is provided to call your attention to articles 810 and 820 of the 2005 National Electrical Code. Refer to article 810, in particular 810-1 and 810-15, for required grounding of the metal structure of the dish antenna.

103TROUBLESHOOTING TIPSSYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATESDIRECTV periodically sends system software updates to your receiver to improve performance and upgrade features and functions. These updates will occur automatically. The receiver will give you the option to download software “now” or “later.” Software downloads take just a few minutes and should be allowed to proceed when possible. When a download is in progress, channels, interactive functions and applications will temporarily become unavailable. After the download is complete, the receiver may reset itself. Once the receiver download and/or reset is complete, you can resume using as normal. ONSCREEN MESSAGESThere may be times when you see an onscreen message similar to the one on the right. The top line of the message gives a brief description of what causes the onscreen message to display, while the second line displays instructions to follow. Most onscreen messages supply an error code in parentheses. Go to directv.com/troubleshooting and select the onscreen error message for solutions. The message at the right shows an example of trying to view a channel that you have not purchased or that is not in your programming package. To resolve this error, call Customer Service at 1.800.531.5000 and mention the error code number when prompted.CHAPTER 8 - TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQS

104DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDERUN THE SYSTEM TESTThe System Test allows you to run a basic diagnostics check on your DVR. First make sure that: 1.

If you continue to have problems, call DIRECTV Customer Service at 1.800.531.5000. 8. You should run a system test several times before concluding that there is a problem. Occasional ﬂuctuations in the phone line or satellite signal can give temporary false readings.TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

105FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSQ: What to do about temporary loss of satellite signal, “frozen” picture, or picture breaking into blocks / pixels?The image on your screen is frozen, blocky, or you see a message that says, “Searching for Satellite Signal (x 771).Possible Causes: Severe weather (rain, snow, hail etc.) may cause this issue. There may be an obstruction to your dish (debris, snow, ice, etc.) or a building or tree that blocks your line of sight to the satellite. There may be a problem with the cables running from your satellite dish to your DIRECTV® Receiver. If the picture is frozen, blocky, or pixels, there may be a problem with the transmission from the source.Solution: Weather issues are usually temporary. Wait for the weather to clear and your signal should return to normal. If there are no weather problems in your area, reset your DIRECTV DVR using the red RESET button behind the door on the front of the receiver or by unplugging the receiver for 15 seconds and then plugging it back in. Check all the connections on the back of your receiver, starting with the SAT-IN connection, and make sure they’re secure. If the problem is coming from the program source (for example, you see the problem on one channel, but not on any others), wait for the broadcasting channel to resolve the issue. If there are obstructions blocking the dish’s clear view of the satellite, you should contact a professional to remove them or a DIRECTV installer at 1.800.531.5000 to relocate your dish. If your signal strength is lower than 70 (60 or lower on HD receivers) on most transponders in good weather, contact a professional installer to realign your dish or call us at 1.800.531.5000.Check Satellite (SAT-IN) ConnectionsCoaxial Satellite CableCHAPTER 8 - TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQS

106DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDEFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSQ: Why is my screen blue, black, gray or snowy?Your TV displays a blue, black, gray or snowy screen.Possible Causes: Your TV and/or your receiver are not powered on. The DIRECTV® Receiver and most TVs and VCRs let you toggle between different video sources. Your TV may be on a different input source than what you are trying to view. Your TV may not support the selected HD resolution from your receiver.Solution: Check that the DIRECTV® Receiver and TV are both powered on. If you don’t see the your DIRECTV picture, verify the input your TV is on by turning the TV on and off. Most TVs display the input in the upper right- or left-hand corner. If the input is set to something other than your DIRECTV receiver, toggle through the inputs with the “input” button on the DIRECTV remote (if programmed) or TV remote until you get your picture. (If the DIRECTV remote is not working for the TV it may need to be programmed.)If the TV remote is not available:1. Find the Input or Source button on your TV and press it. It may be on the front panel, sides, bottom, or top edges of your TV.2. Slowly set the TV to each input option, one at a time. Sometimes it takes a second or two for the input to switch, so don’t proceed too quickly.3. Set the TV to whichever input gives a picture. If you see a snowy screen and are using a coax connection to connect to the TV, make sure your TV is on channel 3 or 4. Press the TV/VCR button on the VCR remote or on the VCR’s front panel. If problems persist, turn off all equipment connected to your TV, wait a few minutes, then turn the DIRECTV® Receiver back on. Check your connections and cables.

107FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Check the HD output resolutions and deselect those not supported by your TV. For 1080p programs, some TVs do not support the 24 frame-per-second rate DIRECTV provides. Press the RES button on your receiver’s front panel to change the resolution to one your TV supports.Q: Why doesn’t my remote work?Possible Causes: Weak batteries are almost always the problem. Trying to operate equipment other than your DIRECTV Receiver? Remote sensor on the receiver could be blocked.Solution: Check that nothing is between the remote control and the remote sensor. Make sure the remote control is in DIRECTV mode. Slide the MODE switch on the remote to the DIRECTV position so the remote will control the DIRECTV® Receiver. Check the batteries in the remote control. They may be weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries. If you’re entering a channel number that is less than four digits long, the receiver might wait two seconds before tuning to the channel. Press ENTER after entering a channel number to tune immediately. If you are trying to operate a device other than the DIRECTV DVR that you have programmed the remote to control, make sure you ﬁrst slide the MODE switch to the mode that is programmed for that device (AV1 or AV2). The indicator light for the component you’re trying to control should light up when you press a valid key for that component. If it doesn’t, make sure the MODE switch is in the correct position.Remote SensorRemote Battery CompartmentCHAPTER 8 - TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQS

It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant.See installation instructions for details.The REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) is used to determine the number of devices that may connect to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed ﬁve (5.0).To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact your local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identiﬁer that has the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without the decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).If this DIRECTV® Receiver causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to ﬁle a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment.

132DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDEPreambleThe licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modiﬁed by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reﬂect on the original authors’ reputations.Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modiﬁcation follow. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF SOFTWARE (“TERMS”)

133GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSETERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modiﬁcations and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modiﬁcation”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”. Activities other than copying, distribution and modiﬁcation are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modiﬁcations or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:a) You must cause the modiﬁed ﬁles to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the ﬁles and the date of any change.b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.c) If the modiﬁed program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF SOFTWARE (“TERMS”)CHAPTER 9 - WARRANTY AND OTHER INFORMATION

134DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE These requirements apply to the modiﬁed work as a whole. If identiﬁable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modiﬁcations to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface deﬁnition ﬁles, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF SOFTWARE (“TERMS”)

1354. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF SOFTWARE (“TERMS”)CHAPTER 9 - WARRANTY AND OTHER INFORMATION

136DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDEThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program speciﬁes a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF SOFTWARE (“TERMS”)

137EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONSHow to Apply These Terms to Your New ProgramsIf you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source ﬁle to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each ﬁle should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. <one line to give the program’s name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w’. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c’ for details.The hypothetical commands `show w’ and `show c’ should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w’ and `show c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF SOFTWARE (“TERMS”)CHAPTER 9 - WARRANTY AND OTHER INFORMATION

140DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDEAPPENDIX 1: SETUP AND ACTIVATIONGUIDED SETUPIf your receiver was not professionally installed, or you have had to reset your receiver for any reason, you will need to follow the guided setup screens before starting DIRECTV service.1. Make sure the MODE switch at the top of the remote control is set to DIRECTV, which is the far-left position.2. Press PWR. The DIRECTV® Receiver will turn on. (Make sure your TV is also turned on!)3. The ﬁrst screen will allow you to select a language. Using the arrow keys on the remote control, move to the language you prefer and press SELECT.4. Follow the onscreen instructions.After these setup procedures are complete, you’ll see a message onscreen that says, “Acquiring Satellite Info”, as the receiver gathers information from the satellite for the onscreen program guide. Next, you’ll be given the opportunity to program your remote to control other equipment such as your TV and/or DVD player. Just follow the screen instructions and you’ll be ready to watch in no time!ACTIVATE YOUR DIRECTV® SERVICEOnce all the setup processes are complete, all that’s left to do is activate your DIRECTV® service. Be sure to:1. Have on hand your service address, social security number and a valid major credit card.2. Note your receiver ID and access card numbers. The receiver ID is on a sticker behind the access card door on the front of the receiver, while the card number is on the access card itself. Use the Product Information page to note this information.3. When you’re ready, just call 1.800.531.5000 to pick the programming package that’s right for you and subscribe to DIRECTV service.

141APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENTYOUR PHONE CONNECTIONConnecting your receiver to a land-based telephone line saves you money because it allows you to purchase Pay Per View movies and special events without calling DIRECTV® to order. It is required for sports package subscriptions and is also used to enhance the interactive features available on our interactive channels. The receiver uses a toll-free number once a month for a few minutes duration and is designed not to interfere with your regular phone service. You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack (the most common type of phone jack). If you disconnect the phone line, the receiver will not allow you to purchase PPV programs and some features of our interactive channels will be limited. If your receiver is connected to the Internet, either directly or via a DIRECTV Home Network connection, you do not need to be connected to a phone line. See “Your Internet Connection” below.Do not connect your receiver to a digital PBX phone system — doing so may permanently damage your equipment and void your warranty.YOUR INTERNET CONNECTIONConnecting your DIRECTV Receiver to the Internet and your home network gives you access to features like TV Apps, Music & Photos, and more.The instructions for connecting to a network are different depending upon whether you have Whole-Home DVR Service. Please see Appendix 4.NOTE: For the most current options and instructions to connect your receiver to the Internet, please visit directv.com/getconnected.APPENDICES

142DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDECONNECTIONS FOR AUXILIARY EQUIPMENTIf you upgrade your TV, get a new DIRECTV® Receiver, or add new equipment such as a surround sound system, DVD player or burner, or VCR, you have various options for connecting your equipment. All of the video and audio outputs on your receiver offer good quality. Pick a video and audio output from the following lists based on the connectors your receiver and TV support; they are listed in order, with the highest quality options at the top of each list. Not all connectors are available on all receivers and TV models.NOTE: Not all cables come with your digital satellite receiver; you may need to purchase additional cables depending on your setup. HDMI cables are available from DIRECTV at a nominal charge. Contact DIRECTV customer service for more information. Never connect an IN to an IN or an OUT to an OUT. All A/V jacks and inputs are color-coded. Always match the color of the plug to the same color of the jack. To obtain the best picture quality, make sure the receiver is connected directly to the TV. Due to restrictions imposed by copyright holders, certain programming may include content protection measures that may restrict viewing or recording with certain consumer electronics equipment attached to the receiver. Please contact the manufacturer of such equipment for additional information. WARNING: Use only the power supply (power cord) that came with your DIRECTV receiver. Failure to use the authorized power supply (power cord) may cause electric shock, ﬁre, bodily injury and/or property damage. If the power supply (power cord) becomes damaged or needs to be replaced, please contact DIRECTV Customer Service to obtain an authorized replacement.WARNING: Do not connect your receiver (or any other equipment, such as a TV or VCR) to the AC power supply until you have properly connected all the other cables.

HDMI is the only recommended cable, and is required for the highest quality 1080p signal and 3D TV. Component Video Output (YPbPr) provides high-quality HD video, but does not provide audio. You will need to connect audio separately using the digital audio or RCA audio connectors. Newer receivers have an “A/V Out” connector that provides Component Video and RCA audio output in a single, custom cable. Component cables do not provide 1080p or 3D TV.SD Video ConnectionsThese cables are provided for convenience only, and do not present an HD picture. They are useful if you have to connect your DIRECTV® HD DVR to an older CRT TV, a VCR, or other non-HD device. S-Video provides good video, but does not provide audio. You will need to connect audio separately using the digital audio or RCA audio connectors. (Not all receivers have S-Video outputs.) RCA output (composite video) provides good video and usually comes bundled with three cables for one video and two audio channels. APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENTAPPENDICES

Digital Audio Optical provides excellent quality digital audio and is often used on newer surround sound and DVD equipment. Digital Audio Coax provides high quality digital audio and is also found on newer surround sound and DVD equipment. RCA outputs provide good audio quality and are found on older auxiliary equipment.There are so many makes and models of TVs and auxiliary equipment, it is impossible to fully describe all of the possible connections between them and your receiver. Refer to the manuals for that equipment to see the connection options speciﬁc to each make and model. The following images show examples of how your receiver may be connected using the supported video and audio connections for the TV, the surround sound, and the DVD player/burner or VCR.

148DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE(This connection does not provide an HD picture.)Example: TV with RCA ConnectorsHere is an example of a TV that has RCA connectors as the best video input.RCA cables are often bundled as a three-way cable with one video and two audio connections. You can also purchase a single-connection RCA video cable, and a separate cable for audio.SD TV CONNECTIONSRCA Video and AudioAPPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT

149Of all the video connections, only HDMI provides an audio signal with the video. The other connections all require a separate audio cable. Of these, your best quality signal will be from the Digital Audio Out/Optical connector, followed by the Digital Coax connector, followed by the RCA Audio Out connector. The connector you end up using may be determined by the equipment you are connecting to. (For example, your home theater system may support only the Digital Audio Out/Optical connector.)The red and white RCA audio out connectors are so common, it is possible you may have one of these cables already. However, these cables provide an analog signal, so you will be missing out on the beneﬁts of digital quality sound.AUDIO CONNECTIONSRCA Audio Digital Coax Digital Optical HDMI CableAPPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENTAPPENDICES

150DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDECONNECTIONS TO OTHER EQUIPMENTIn addition to your TV, you may wish to connect other equipment, such as a DVD burner, VCR, or even a second TV to your DIRECTV® Receiver. For the best-quality picture, it is recommended you do not use a pass-through connection from your TV or other equipment as an input to a DVD burner or VCR. Instead, use an available connection from your DIRECTV Receiver. For example, if you use the HDMI connection on your DIRECTV Receiver to connect to your TV, you can use the Component Video, Composite Video RCA, or S-Video Out to connect to your DVD burner, VCR, or second TV.APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT

162DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDESCREEN FORMAT & RESOLUTIONIn addition to resolution and interlacing, a television picture is also deﬁned by its aspect ratio—referring to the shape of the screen as deﬁned by the ratio of the screen’s width to its height.For analog TV, the aspect ratio is 4 units wide by 3 units high (4:3). This is the familiar shape of conventional TVs—slightly wider than they are tall. SDTV and EDTV pictures can be either 4:3 or 16:9. For HDTV broadcasts, the aspect ratio is 16:9—nearly twice as wide as it is tall. This is approximately the shape of movies shown in theaters, which makes HD an ideal format for viewing movies on TV. You will be able to see much of what is captured on ﬁlm, but lost on an SDTV display.In order to optimize the display of programs on your television — for example, if you are watching a 4:3 channel on a 16:9 TV or vice versa — you may occasionally need to change the resolution and/or screen format. There are two keys that can be used to make changes: the FORMAT key on the remote control and the RES (Resolution) key on the front panel of the DIRECTV HD DVR. To change your Screen Format, TV Ratio, or TV Resolution settings, press MENU, select “Settings & Help”, then “Settings”, and then “HDTV”.FORMAT Key on Remote ControlPress the FORMAT key on your remote to cycle the resolutions settings supported by your TV, as well as the screen formats in conjunction with each individual resolution. Available screen formats such as crop, stretch or letter/pillar box, are based on the TV Ratio setting. With each press, an onscreen message will let you know what the current resolution/format setting is. For example, if you indicated that your TV supports only 1080i, 480i and 480p and it is a 16:9 television, and Native is turned off*, the cycle of settings for the FORMAT key are as follows:1st press: 480i/Stretch 5th press: 480p/Letter box 9th press: 1080i/Crop2nd press: 480i/Letter box 6th press: 480p/Crop 10th press: repeat cycle3rd press: 480i/Crop 7th press: 1080i/Stretch4th press: 480p/Stretch 8th press: 1080i/Letter boxAPPENDIX 5: ABOUT HIGH-DEFINITION

163NOTE: * In Native mode, the receiver automatically adjusts the resolution to match individual TV programs as they are tuned.If Native is turned on, the FORMAT key cycles through Stretch, Letter and Crop for the current TV program’s native resolution. The FORMAT key allows you to easily cycle all resolution and format settings with a single key until the picture displays the way you like it. If pressing this key causes a loss of video and audio, continue to press it until the picture returns. (Wait a second between presses to allow the Receiver to change the resolution.) This can happen if your settings include a resolution that your TV doesn’t support. To correct this, you’ll need to change your resolution setting: Press MENU, select “Settings & Help”, “Settings”, “HDTV” and then select “TV Resolutions”. Mark or unmark the TV Resolutions to display the resolutions supported by your television.Resolution (RES) Key on Receiver Front PanelThis key is used to cycle through all available resolutions on your DIRECTV HD DVR. It does not cycle through format settings. If video and audio are not appearing, it may be because the current resolution setting is not supported by your television. By pressing this key, you can check all available resolutions to see if that solves the problem. The lights next to the RES key on the front panel will light below the resolution to which the receiver is set; they will change with each key press. APPENDIX 5: ABOUT HIGH-DEFINITIONAPPENDICES

165WIDE-SCREEN VS. STANDARD FORMATS4:3 TVs Showing 16:9 programFor a standard 4:3 TV showing a wide screen program, the program is too wide to ﬁt on the screen. To alleviate this, choose:Letterbox: With this format, the 16:9 image is shrunk until the entire width of the program ﬁts on your TV. Since the aspect ratio of the program is maintained, the image is no longer tall enough to ﬁll your screen, so gray or black bars are seen at the top and bottom of the screen To change the bar color, press MENU, select “Settings & Help”, “Settings”, “HDTV” and then “Video”. Select the desired bar color. See your TV’s owner’s manual for information on the best color for your set.Stretch: In the Stretch setting, instead of adding bars to the top and bottom, the 16:9 program image is stretched vertically until it’s tall enough to ﬁll the screen. Your entire screen will be full, but the program images are stretched to compensate.Crop: This format crops (cuts off) the left and right portions of the 16:9 frame so it ﬁts the 4:3 screen.If your display is a 4:3 format TV or monitor, your format options include these:For 16:9 program signals:Letterbox Stretch CropAPPENDIX 5: ABOUT HIGH-DEFINITIONAPPENDICES

166DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE16:9 TVs Showing 4:3 programsFor a wide screen 16:9 TV showing a standard 4:3 TV program, the program is too tall to ﬁt the screen. Your choices here include:Pillar Box: Here the 4:3 image is shrunk until the entire height of the program ﬁts on your TV. Since the aspect ratio is maintained, the image is no longer wide enough to ﬁll the screen, so gray or black bars are seen at the left and right edges. To change the bar color, press MENU, select “Settings & Help”, “Settings”, “HDTV” and then “Video”. Select the desired bar color option. See your TV’s owner’s manual for information on the best color for your set.Stretch: In this setting, instead of adding bars to the sides, the 4:3 program image is stretched horizontally until it’s wide enough to ﬁll the screen. Your entire screen will be full, but the images are a little stretched to compensate.Crop: This format crops (cuts off) the top and bottom of a 4:3 frame, keeping the 4:3 ratio intact.
