receiver on any unstable can. stand. table. or bracket. Any
mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer‘s
instructions.
Attachments—Do not use attachments unless
recommended by the DIRECI'V System product
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
saielllte Dish Antenna Grounding—The outdoor
satellite dish antenna used to receive satellite signals and
the cable used to connect the satellite dish antenna to the
indoor receiving unit are required to comply with local
installation codes and the appropriate sections or the
Notional Electric Code (NEC) and in particular Anicle Ell)-
ls. which covers proper installation and grounding of
television receiving equipment, as well as to Article 820r
33. which specifies that the satellite dish antenna able
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
burlding as close to the point or cable entry as practical.
These codes require proper grounding of the metal stmcture
of the outdoor satellite dish antenna and grounding of the
Connecting cable at a point where it enters the house (or
other building}. If you are having a professional installer

Congratulations! You've selected one of the most advanced digital video and audio components
available today. You now have the capability to receive hundreds of channels of video programming,
CD—quality audio, and data services.
What You Should Do First
Your DIRECI V System is both a sophisticated technical product and an easy-to-operate source of
entertainment. You should complete the following steps to achieve the greatest performance from you
system:
Read the included guides and manuals to familiarize yourself with the system
Install the digital satellite receiver.
Install your satellite dish antenna and cable.
Align the satellite dish antenna.
Anange for programming from the service providers.
Enjoy endless hours of TV entertainmenL
' How Does All This Work?
Many film studios. news organizations and other broadcasters provide their video. audio, and data
services to DIRECI'V and USSB uplink centers
These service providers then digitally transmit the
signals 22,300 miles in space to a grouping ofthree
high-powered satellites built by Hughes Electronics.
These satellites are co—Iocated in geosynchronous
orbit. This means that after installz'ttion of the
DIRECTV System, which includes aiming the
satellite dish antenna at the satellites, no adjustment
will be necessary to change channels because
everything comes from the same locations in the sky
The satellite dish antenna never has to track the
satellite. so there's no waiting for the picture to come
in. From there the digital signals are beamed back to
earth where they are received by your satellite dish
antenna. The signals then go into the digital satellite
receiver where they undergo extensive processing to
determine if you are authorized to access them. The
signals are then reconvened into high-quality video
and audio that you can enjoy on your television. The
telephone connection is used by the digital satellite
receiver to report back to the servrce providers any
purchase activity.

DIRECTV System Components
There are three main components of your DlRECl'V Systemt They are the satellite dish antenna. the
digital satellite receiver, and the remote control. Take a few minutes to read about each one.
The Satellite Dish Antenna
The satellite dish anmnna is the component that receives the digital signals. It must be mounted to a
solid outdoor surface that allows a clear view of the southern sky.
Reflector
The large circular pan is known as the reflector. At the end of a
tubular arm that is attached to the satellite dish antenna. there is a
low noise block (LNB) The mounting bracket and base make LNB
adjustments easy during installation. Once the satellite dish antenna
has been properly positioned to point towards the satellites. you
should never need to adjust it again.
Satellite dish antennas will have either a single LN'B or a dual LN'B.
The single LNB has one connection. allowing use of a single digital
satellite receiver. The dual LNB has tWo connections, allowing use
of two digital satellite receivers. or more if you are using a multi-
switch.
Mounting
Bracket
, The mounting bracket and base make adjustments easy during LNB Support Arm
installation. Once the satellite dish antenna has been properly
positioned to point Ioward the satellites, you should never need to Ease Phi“ —'

The Digital Satellite Receiver
This digital satellite receiver is one of the most compact available today. Nearly every feature of the
digital satellite receiver can be accessed from the front panel keys.
Thefmnr dllu digiml satellite receiver ‘
Your access card is located behind the door on the right side of the digital satellite receiver. This
special card contains information about your level of service and holds pay per view purchase
activity. This card should not be removed except to protect the digital satellite receiver from
unauthorized use or to replace the card when your service provider (DIRECl'V or USSB) X
supplies a new one. -
The power key (®) is used to turn the digital satellite receiver on and off. The power ii EM“
light (located in the center) will illuminate when the unit is on. Any off-air signalt such as
cable TV or local programming. connected to the IN FROM ANTjaek is passed through to EH“
the OUT TO TVjack when the digital satellite receiver power is off.

The rear of the digital satellite receiver has numerous jacks for connection to your audio/video
entertainment system. You will also find the power cord permanently connected to the back.
The SATELLITE IN F-type jack is for connecting the cable from your satellite dish antenna to the digital
satellite receiver. Be sure that you use RG-6 cable only.
The IN FROM ANT F-type jack is an input where you can connect the cable from an RF terrestrial
source such as an'off-air antenna or cable TV service
The OUT TO TV F—type jack is an RF output which you may connect to your TV orch (depending
on your entertainment system). Note that the CH3/CH4 switch on the upper left enables you to select
the channel for your TV on which the DIRECT V System programming appears.
The phono~type AUDIO outputjacks, labeled and color coded (L is white. R is red) to indicate lefl and
right, can be used for connection to your TV. VCR. or audio system. The phone-type composite ,
VIDEO outputjack is color—coded yellow. You may use this jack for connection to your TV or VCR.
The multiple-pin S-VIDEO jack is for high-quality output of DIRECT“! System video. Use this jack to
achieve the clearest picture for your TV or VCR. Only newer high-end TVs, SVHS VCRs and His
VCRs support S-video connections.
The stande RJ~1I modular PHONE JACK is for connecting the digital satellite receiver to your
phone line. This phone connection is necessary to access certain program offerings from your service
providers. Any calls generated by the digital satellite receiver are toll free. Tllc telephone line
connection will not normally interfere with your telephone operation. The digital satellite receiver will.
however. call a toll—free number briefly to report any pay per view programs that may have been
purchased.
The VCR CONTROL mini~jack is for connecting the VCR control cable included with the system.
With this cable. the digital satellite receiver can interface with most popular brands of VCRs to record
selected programs automatically.

The Remote Control
Your remote control can control a lot more than just the digital satellite receiver. It is what is known as
a universal remote control. meaning that with it you can control
many popular televisions. VCRs. and audio components. What's
The HRMC-6 can control components including your digital satellite
receiver (SAT). TV. cable boxes (CBL), and VCRs, as well as many
amplifiers (AMP), compact disc players. and laser disc players
(DISC). It also offers RF transmitting for control of the system from
a distance.
Descriptions and details of each individual key will be given
throughout this manual as they apply. although an overview follows.
The mode keys across the top of the remote control enable you to
specify the device you intend to control. This is im nant since
many devices share the same keys. such as the key and the
numeric keys. You must press the appropriate device key before
pressing a command key to make sure the remote control sends
the right signal to the right device. The only keys that deviate from
the rule are the blue keys, as they ate alvmys associated with the
