Before making connections Jacks and cables Connecting your DIRECTV Receiver Turning on the DIRECTV Receiver for the first time Memorizing Channels Acquiring the correct dish pointing angles Checking the satellite signal strength Setting the dish type Using Auto Detection to set the dish type Testing the DIRECTV Receiver Testing the Signal Strength Activating your DIRECTV account Upgrades Before making connections The next step is to make the necessary connections. Before you begin, please note the following important safety and setup tips. Protect your components from power surges Always turn off and unplug your DIRECTV Receiver, TV, and any other components 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. Protect your components from overheating Do not block ventilation holes in the top of the DIRECTV Receiver, or any other components. Make sure to position the components so that air can circulate freely. If you are positioning the components in a stand or rack, make sure to allow for proper ventilation. Do not stack components. If you have a stereo amplifier or receiver as a system component, please place it on the top shelf or top rack so that hot air rising from it will not flow around other components. Make strong connections Make sure you securely connect cables when making connections. When a tight fit makes a secure connection difficult, you can sometimes make it easier by gently twisting the cable-end while pushing it onto the jack. (Important: never twist S-Video it has specially shaped ends that must be correctly oriented before connecting.) 19 D10-CHAPTER 2-1 6/14/04 6:23 PM Page 20 22 CHAPTER 2 Setting up and connecting Jacks and cables The illustrations in this section show the various types of jacks and cables used to connect your DIRECTV Receiver. ANTENNA terminals (cable not included) Use ANT. IN terminals to receive a signal from VHF/UHF antennas or your cable system using an RG-6 coaxial cable. SATELLITE IN terminals can be used to connect Satellite dish input. Connect the coaxial cable to the Antenna In jack on your TV and to the TV OUT jack. Audio/Video out jacks and cables (RCA-type) Use these jacks and cables to connect your receiver to a TV, VCR, or to other components such as a stereo receiver or amplifier. The Video out jacks provide a basic quality composite video signal using RCA-type cables. Audio jacks can be used to connect the DIRECTV Receiver to an A/V receiver. The audio/video jacks on the back of the receiver and the audio/video cable connectors are color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). 20 D10-CHAPTER 2-1 6/14/04 6:23 PM Page 21 22 CHAPTER 2 Setting up and connecting Telephone jack and cord The TEL LINE jack and the included telephone cord connect 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. A continuous land-based phone line connection is required for DIRECTV Pay Per View functionality and DIRECTV subscriptions. Any calls generated by the DIRECTV Receiver are toll-free. These calls are typically made in the middle of the night; your phone is in use for approximately 30 seconds. 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 (better than RCA-type A/V jacks and cables). S-Video connectors must be correctly aligned before you can plug in the cable. Maximum resolution via this jack is 480i. (This cable carries the video signal only; use with audio cables for the audio signal.) 21 D10-CHAPTER 2-1 6/14/04 6:23 PM Page 22 22 CHAPTER 2 Setting up and connecting Connecting your DIRECTV Receiver Your DIRECTV Receiver supports a variety of connection possibilities to ensure that it is compatible with whatever type of TV, VCR, or A/V receiver you might have. This manual describes five different setup possibilities in detail. The one that is right for you depends on what type of A/V equipment you have in addition to your DIRECTV Receiver. To get the best audio and video possible with your particular set of A/V equipment, use these pages to choose the connection option that most closely matches your situation. Option A: DIRECTV Receiver to TV with RF cable only Option A is the most simple setup option. If you are not planning on using a VCR and your TV has no A/V connectors, use this option. (See page 23 for details) Option B: DIRECTV Receiver to TV with A/V cables Option B is also for people not planning on using a VCR, but this option improves the sound and video quality by making the connections using A/V cables. If you are not planning to use a VCR, but your TV does have RCA-type A/V input jacks, use connection Option B. (See page 24 for details) Option C: DIRECTV Receiver to TV and VCR with RF cables only Option C is the simplest connection option that includes a VCR. If you want to connect your DIRECTV Receiver to a TV and VCR, and your TV or VCR does not have A/V jacks, use connection Option C. (See page 26 for details) Option D: DIRECTV Receiver to TV and VCR with A/V cables Option D also allows you to connect the DIRECTV Receiver to a TV and VCR, but Option D provides improved sound and video quality over Option C. If you are planning to connect your DIRECTV Receiver to a TV and VCR which both have A/V jacks, use connection Option D. (See page 28 for details) Option E: DIRECTV Receiver to TV and A/V receiver Option E shows you how to connect the DIRECTV Receiver to an A/V system that includes an A/V receiver. If you plan to use an A/V receiver with your DIRECTV Receiver and TV, use connection Option E.

DIRECTV Receiver A/V Receiver TV 31 D10-CHAPTER 2-1 6/14/04 6:23 PM Page 32 22 CHAPTER 2 Setting up and connecting Turning on the DIRECTV Receiver for the first time You have completed the connection steps and are ready to start using your DIRECTV Receiver. The first step is to turn on the DIRECTV Receiver. 1 Turn on your TV and set it to display the signal from your DIRECTV Receiver. If you connected the DIRECTV Receiver to video input jacks on your TV, you will need to set your TV to display the input from these jacks. Usually this is done by pressing a Video, Input, or Mode button on your TVs remote control. (See the manual for your TV if you need help.) 2 Press the PWR button on the DIRECTV Receivers remote control or STANDBY/ON on the front of the DIRECTV Receiver. If this is the first time you have turned on your DIRECTV Receiver, it will take a few moments to acquire the program guide from the satellite. During this process, the Progress screen appears. When the program guide has been fully acquired, the Progress screen clears and the TV screen is displayed. You are ready to continue setting up your DIRECTV System. Memorizing Channels If your DIRECTV Receiver is able to acquire the program guide and display TV programs, your satellite dish is setup and working. You can skip ahead to the section on Setting the dish type. If your DIRECTV Receiver cannot acquire the program guide, and you intend to watch DIRECTV programming, you may need to adjust the way your satellite dish is installed. To do this, first make sure your TV and DIRECTV Receiver are turned on and connected to each other properly. Then follow the instructions below to use your DIRECTV Receivers Menu system to set up your satellite dish. The Installation option in the Setup menu provides access to a variety of important setup controls. The first of these is the Set Dish menu. The Set Dish menu allows you to:
Acquire the exact azimuth, elevation, and tilt angles to help you point your dish accurately based on your ZIP code. Check the setup of your satellite dish using an on-screen signal meter. Set the dish type (to tell your DIRECTV Receiver what kind of satellite dish you are using). Set your dish type automatically. The sections that follow detail each of these procedures. 32 D10-CHAPTER 2-1 6/14/04 6:23 PM Page 33 22 CHAPTER 2 Setting up and connecting Acquiring the correct dish pointing angles The Dish Pointing menu item in the Set Dish menu allows you to find out exactly how to point your satellite dish by entering your ZIP code.

When you have entered all five digits, the screen updates to display the correct azimuth, elevation, and (for oval dish types only) tilt. Azimuth refers to the left-to-right angle to which you should point your dish. Elevation refers to the up-and-down angle to which you should point your dish. Tilt (for oval dishes only) refers to the amount off-horizontal you should twist the dish on its axis. Write down these numbers and use them to accurately point your satellite dish. 8 To return to the Set Dish menu, press the BACK button on your remote control. To exit the Menu system, press the EXIT button on your remote control. 33 D10-CHAPTER 2-1 6/14/04 6:23 PM Page 34 22 CHAPTER 2 Setting up and connecting Checking the satellite signal strength The Signal Meter allows you to check the strength of the signal from the satellite to your satellite dish. This is useful while setting up your satellite dish, and while troubleshooting any reception problems you may encounter. Satellite signal strength can be affected by how accurately you have pointed the satellite dish, and by any obstructions between the satellite and the satellite dish (tree limbs, for example). To check your satellite signal strength, follow these steps:

(from 0-to-100%) is indicated at the bottom of the screen. The DIRECTV Satellite Signal Meter screen allows you to check signal strengths from different Satellites, and different Transponders. Transponders are the equipment on satellites that receive the signal from the earth-based program providers and relay it back to earth to your satellite dish. Different transponders handle the signals for different TV channels. When setting up your satellite dish, you should try to maximize the signal strength across all of the satellites and transponders. 6 To check the signal strength for different transponders, highlight the on-screen Transponder option, then use the up- and down-arrow buttons to change the setting. The signal meter updates to show you the signal strength for the new transponder. 34 D10-CHAPTER 2-1 6/14/04 6:23 PM Page 35 22 CHAPTER 2 Setting up and connecting Setting the dish type To function properly, your DIRECTV Receiver needs to know what type of satellite dish you are using.
