Making the Right Connections
Are you ready to connect your DIRECTV® Receiver and your other components?
Whether you’re having your system professionally installed or handling it yourself, be sure to read
over the following few pages to familiarize yourself with some important tips for safety and care.
Before you begin
Your satellite dish antenna must be installed before you can begin following the procedures in this
User Guide. (Professional installation is highly recommended.) Your dish needs to be mounted in
a position where it has access to the satellite signals, and RG-6 coaxial cables must be run into the
room(s) where your receiver(s) will be located. If you choose to install the dish yourself, see the
separate instruction manual that came with your satellite dish antenna.

Making the Right Connections
This reminder is provided to call your attention to articles 810 and 820 of the 2002 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. Refer
also to the 810-2 which, by reference to article 820, requires that the satellite dish coaxial cable shield be connected
to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Safety & Care
Safety & Care
Your DIRECTV System has been designed and manufactured to stringent quality and safety
TIP
standards. You should, however, be aware of the following important precautions for safe and optimal
use of the equipment.
We highly recommend

in your power supply.
• Heed all warnings on the equipment and in the instructions for your protection.
Cautions…
• 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, and do not place vases or other vessels containing liquid on top of it.
• 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, and 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.
Chapter 1
Getting Connected
• Have your DIRECTV Receiver professionally serviced (do not attempt to service it yourself) if:
 The power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed

• 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.

/0%.
• Don’t overload power outlets or extension cords, which can result in the risk of fire or shock.
It’s also important to use only the type of power source indicated on the marking label or in this
manual.
• Always unplug the DIRECTV Receiver, TV and other equipment before you connect or
disconnect any cables.
• Always unplug your DIRECTV Receiver before moving it. Also, unplug it during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Protect power cords by routing them so they will not be walked on or pinched in any way.
• 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.
Safety & Care
Safety & Care
• Do not drop your DIRECTV Receiver and always move it with care.
• Place it on a flat, hard surface — do not operate the DIRECTV Receiver on a carpet or other
padded surface. Ensure that the rack or cabinet the receiver is placed on is stable, and not subject to
being tipped over.
• Ensure proper ventilation — the slots on top of 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.
• Avoid heat — do not place the DIRECTV Receiver near heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves or other appliances.
• Never insert objects of any kind into any openings in the DIRECTV Receiver (other than the
DIRECTV ® Access Card as detailed in this chapter).
• Clean your receiver with a soft cloth or the dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner, removing
dust from the ventilation holes on the top and bottom. Avoid alcohol or
oil-based furniture solvents — a non-abrasive, anti-static cleaner/polisher is recommended.
• Use only manufacturer authorized accessories and parts.

Cables & Connections
Best Video: S-Video Jack and Cable
S-video jacks and cables provide the best picture quality. You will still need to connect the left and
right audio cables to the TV, or optical audio cable to your stereo, because the S-Video cable only
carries the picture signal, not sound.
S-Video Jack
Audio/Video (A/V) Jack and Cable
Audio/Video (A/V) cables provide very good picture quality and stereo sound, and should be used if
your TV does not have S-video jacks. The DIRECTV Receiver’s A/V jacks are color coded (yellow for
video, red for right audio and white for left audio). If your TV has only one input for audio (mono),
connect it to the left (white) audio jack on the DIRECTV Receiver.
RF Jack and Coaxial Cable (F-type)
RF jacks and coaxial cables provide good picture and mono sound quality. They should be used

Guided Setup & Activation
In order to protect your TV screen from burn-in (a side-effect caused when a stationary image is displayed for too long),
the DIRECTV Receiver interface automatically goes into screen saver mode, and displays a black screen with a moving
logo when no key is pressed for 5 minutes or more while a stationary image is displayed on the TV. To dismiss the
screen saver and return to what you were doing, press any key on the remote. Burn-in may cause permanent damage to
your TV and DIRECTV is not liable for any damages that may be caused to your TV.
Guided Setup & Activation
After these setup procedures are complete, you’ll see the Satellite Data Acquisition screen, as the
receiver gathers information from the satellite for the onscreen program guide.
Next, you’ll be given the opportunity to set up your phone connection, as well as 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 Service
Once all the setup processes are complete, all that’s left to do is activate your DIRECTV service.
Before you make the call, be sure to:
Tune to Channel 100 and be sure you’re picking up a satellite signal (DIRECTV channel).
Have on hand your service address, social security number and a valid major credit card.
Note your access card and receiver ID numbers (find these by pressing MENU, then go to

Changing Autotune Options/Canceling an Autotune
Once you have scheduled a program to autotune, you can change the autotune options or cancel the
autotune by selecting the program in the Guide or the To Do List (press LIST, then YELLOW);
then, select the Autotune item in the left menu, and follow the onscreen instructions to change the
program’s options or cancel the Autotune completely.
You can change the following Autotune options:
• For all programs, you can extend Autotune start and stop times (for example, start 1 minute before
the program; stop 5 minutes after the scheduled end of the program).
• For programs with multiple episodes, you can select whether to Autotune first run programs and
repeats or just first runs.
Recording to VCR
To record a program on your VCR, make sure you’ve connected your VCR properly to your
DIRECTV Receiver, then set up your VCR to record at the same time as a scheduled autotune and
you’re set. See your VCR User’s Guide for information on how to set it up for scheduled or manual
recording.
