6DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDESAFETY & CAREYour DIRECTV® Receiver has been designed and manufactured to stringent quality and safety standards. You should, however, be aware of the following important precautions for safe and optimal use of the equipment. Meaning of symbols printed on the rear panel of the product: This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage with a risk of electric shock is present within this unit.This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying this unit. Important Safety Instructions1.  Read these instructions.2.  Keep these instructions.3.  Heed all warnings.4.  Follow all instructions.5.  Do not use this apparatus near water.6.  Clean only with dry cloth.7.  Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.8.  Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.9.  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.10.  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit the apparatus.11.  Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.12.  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.13.  Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.14.  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. 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.15.  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.
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!• 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 fire 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 flat, 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 modifications 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 fire, 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 identification sticker for your Receiver is located behind the small door on its front panel. For your Mini Client, the sticker can be found on the bottom or base of the unit.• 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. 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.

The Keep at Most option lets you decide how many episodes you want to keep: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 or All. If you select All Episodes for a show that appears multiple times in the Guide, it may use up disk space rapidly.  The Keep Until option lets you keep a recording until you delete it or until the disk is full, in which case the DVR can delete it automatically if the disk fills up. A recording that is labeled Keep Until I Delete will never be deleted until you do it manually. If all of your recordings are labeled that way and the disk fills up, no new recordings will occur until you manually delete some of your Keep Until I Delete recordings.  The Start and Stop options let you adjust the times of your recordings to ensure you don’t miss anything. Keep in mind that starting early and ending late on all of your recordings may create more recording conflicts than if you started and stopped on-time (according to the Program Guide schedule). If you find a particular series runs habitually late or early, it is better to adjust that series using the program’s Info screen, rather than set the recording defaults, which would affect all of your DVR recordings. Press MENU, select Manage Recordings, then select Series Manager. Select the program you want to adjust, then select Series Options.MANAGE  RECORDINGS
