Before making connectionsThe next step is to make the necessary connections. Before you begin, please note thefollowing important safety and setup tips.Protect your components from power surges• Always turn off and unplug your DIRECTV Receiver, TV, and any othercomponents before connecting or disconnecting any of the cables.Position all cables correctly to avoid audio hum or interference• After connecting the components, please run the audio/video cables along the side of the TV set, rather than straight down the back of the TV.• Make sure that all cables are plugged or screwed tightly into their jacks.• Please make sure that all antennas and cables are properly grounded.• Whenever possible, route audio and video cables away from power cords.Chapter 3: Setting up and connectingThis chapter explains how to setup and start using your DIRECTV®High-DefinitionReceiver. Contents include:•Before making connections•Jacks and cables•Connecting your DIRECTV Receiver•Connecting the VCR control cable •Turning on the DIRECTV Receiver for the first time•Adjusting the satellite dish•Testing your DIRECTV Receiver•Setting up local networks•Programming local channels•Activating your DIRECTV account•Upgrades
Protect your components from overheating• Do not block ventilation holes in the top of the DIRECTV®High-DefinitionReceiver, or any other components. Make sure to position the components sothat air can circulate freely.• If you are positioning the components in a stand or rack, make sure to allow forproper ventilation.• Do not stack components.• If you have a stereo amplifier or receiver as a system component, please place it onthe top shelf or top rack so that hot air rising from it will not flow around othercomponents.Make strong connections• Make sure you securely connect cables when making connections. When a tightfit makes a secure connection difficult, you can sometimes make it easier bygently twisting the cable-end while pushing it onto the jack. (Important: nevertwist S-Video or Optical Digital Audio cables — they have specially shaped endsthat must be correctly oriented before connecting.)Avoid cable damage• Never kink, bend, or twist optical digital audio cables; doing so might break thefragile optical fibers they contain, rendering them unable to carry a signal. Jacks and cablesThe illustrations in this section show the various types of jacks and cables used toconnect your DIRECTV Receiver. RF jacks and coaxial cable The TV OUT RF jack on the DIRECTV Receiver uses acoaxial cable to connect to your TV or VCR. This jackprovides monaural sound and a good TV picture. AnRF jack is also used for standard analog (NTSC) anddigital (ATSC) TV antenna connection (AIR IN), for acable TV service connection (CABLE IN), and using anRG-6 coaxial cable, for the satellite dish (SATELLITE IN)input connection.
Audio/Video out jacks and cables (RCA-type)Audio/Video jacks and cables provide stereo soundand a better TV picture than RF jacks and cables. Usethese jacks and cables to connect your receiver to aTV, VCR, or to other components such as a stereoreceiver or amplifier. The Video out jacks provide abasic quality composite video signal using RCA-typecables. (Maximum resolution via this jack is 480i.) Telephone jack and cordThe TEL LINE jack and the included telephone cordconnect your DIRECTV Receiver to a phone line. If your home does not have RJ-11 type phone jacks,please contact your phone company to get one installed.S-Video jack and cable S-Video cables and jacks are used to connect to TVs, VCRs,and other video devices equipped with S-Video input jacks. S-Video connections provide a high-quality TV picture (betterthan RCA-type A/V jacks and cables). S-Video connectorsmust be correctly aligned before you can plug in the cable.Maximum resolution via this jack is 480i. (This cable carries thevideo signal only; use with audio cables for the audio signal.)Component video cables and jacks (“Y, Pb, Pr”) areused to connect the DIRECTV Receiver to TVs, VCRs,and A/V receivers equipped with component videoinput jacks. Component video connections provide aTV picture superior to S-Video connections.Component video jacks use 3 RCA-type cables to carrythe signal. This connection is capable of displayingDigital TV and HDTV video resolutions. (These cablescarry video only; use with audio cables for the audiosignal.)Audio jacks can be used to connect the DIRECTV®High-Definition Receiver to anA/V receiver. The audio/video jacks on the back of the receiver and the audio/videocable connectors are color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white forleft audio).A continuous land-based phone line connection is required for DIRECTV®Pay PerView functionality and DIRECTV SPORTS®subscriptions. Any calls generated by theDIRECTV Receiver are toll-free. These calls are typically made in the middle of thenight; your phone is in use for approximately 30 seconds.

DVI jack and cable Using the DVI jack and a digital DVI cable, yourDIRECTV®High-Definition Receiver can provide theunconverted digital signal from digital off-air, cable, orDIRECTV®programming directly to A/V devices thatare capable of decoding the digital video information.The DVI jack uses HDCP content protection to allowyou to view HD programming that has been encodedusing the HDCP protection system. For the best accessto HD programming at the highest available resolution,connect this to a HDTV that supports HDCPtechnology. (This cable carries video only; use withaudio cables for the audio signal.) VCR control jack and cable The VCR control jack and cable allow your DIRECTVReceiver to send signals to your VCR’s remote sensor,giving you the ability to program your VCR to tapeprograms for you using simple on-screen controls.DVI/HDCP OUTRGB OUT jack and cable (cable not included)Uses a computer-standard 15-pin VGA videoconnection. Each main video color, Red, Green, andBlue uses a separate pin; and other pins are used tocarry vertical and horizontal syncing signals. Using theRGB OUT jack and an RGB cable, you can connectyour DIRECTV Receiver to devices equipped with Optical digital audio jack and cable (cable not included)Optical digital jacks and cables use light to send digitalaudio data to A/V receivers equipped to receive andinterpret this data. The jacks and cables must be alignedbefore you plug in the cable. These jacks and cables mayalso be covered by protective caps which you mustremove before making connections.DOLBYDIGITAL OUT(OPTICAL)Coaxial digital audio jack and cable (cable not included)Coaxial digital audio jacks and cables send digital audiodata to A/V receivers equipped with coaxial digital audioinput jacks. DOLBYDIGITAL(COAXIAL)RGB input jacks (computer monitors, for example).The RGB Out jack can carry any of the Digital TV and HDTV video resolutions.(This cable carries video only; use with audio cables for the audio signal.)
Connecting your DIRECTV®High-Definition Receiver1Make sure your TV, A/V receiver, and DIRECTV Receiver are turned offand unplugged.2 If you plan to use the DIRECTV Receiver to watch DIRECTV®programming,connect the RG-6 coaxial cable running from your satellite dish to the SATELLITE IN jack on the back of your DIRECTV Receiver.3 If you plan to watch cable TV programming, connect the coaxial cable runningfrom your cable TV system to the CABLE IN jack on the back of the DIRECTVReceiver.4 If you plan to watch off-air TV programming (analog or digital), connect thecoaxial cable running from your off-air TV antenna to the AIR IN jack on theback of the DIRECTV Receiver.5 Connect the supplied phone cord to a telephone wall jack and to the TEL LINEjack on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver.Note: A triple LNB multi-satellite dish antenna including a Sat C LNB is required toreceive High-Definition programming from DIRECTV.
