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.

If the power supply (power cord) becomes damaged or needs to be replaced, please contact DIRECTV Customer Service to obtain an authorized replacement. DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE 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. 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. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN!

If this product is rated at 240VAC, a suitable attachment plug should be used. CAUTION: 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. TIP: We highly recommend plugging the DIRECTV Receiver into a surge protector to prevent damage from fluctuations in your power supply. SAFETY & CARE 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. Dont overload power outlets or extension cords, which can result in the risk of fire or shock. Its 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.

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 users 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.

A quick way to check how much space you have available is the Disk Space Bar. Disk Space Bar The Disk Space bar is at the bottom of your Playlist. It shows the approximate amount of space available on your disk at any given time. The Disk Space bar shows programs you have designated Keep Until I Delete in dark blue, programs subject to expiration or automatic deletion in light blue, and the remaining unused disk space that is available for recording in black. When your disk is full, the oldest programs (viewed or not) are automatically deleted to make room for new ones.

These features are described on the next few pages. TO DO LIST The To Do List displays recordings your DVR is scheduled to make in the future. Icons next to the titles indicate whether the recording is a single event, part of a series, or an autorecord based on a person or keyword search. The list is ordered by time with the next recordings at the top and the most distant future recordings at the bottom. You can use this screen to ensure your recordings are properly scheduled, or to delete future scheduled recordings you no longer want to record. NOTE: DIRECTV On Demand programs that are scheduled to download via the Internet are shown in the Playlist, not the To Do List. Deleting single shows is easy: Simply highlight the show you want to delete and press the RED button on the remote. A confirmation message will appear before you can delete the show. If you want to delete an entire series from the To Do List, select the show, select Series Options, then select Cancel Series. MANAGE RECORDINGS 55 CHAPTER 4 - RECORDINGS MANAGE RECORDINGS SERIES MANAGER The Series Manager screen displays a prioritized list of all the series youve scheduled to record. If there is a series recording conflict and the Receiver must choose which show to record, it uses this list to determine the priority. As you set up series recordings, the most recent series goes to the bottom of the list in last priority. You can change the order of the priority at any time by selecting Series Manager, selecting the show you want to move, moving the highlight to the right, then using the arrow keys to promote or demote the series. There are a couple of key short cuts on this screen as well. Use the RED button to delete an entire series. Press 1 on the numeric keypad of your remote on the numeric keypad of your remote to move a highlighted show to the top of the list in one press. You can also adjust the recording options used for a particular series from this screen. Select the series you want, then select Series Options and change the recording options as desired. QUEUE The Queue screen displays movie titles that are in the queue awaiting delivery to your hard drive. See Chapter 3, Movies, On Demand and Pay Per View: Ordering Programs for details. 56 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE HISTORY Provides status information for every recording scheduled, whether they were completed, canceled or deleted. If you think something should have been recorded, but wasnt, check here to look for an explanation.

The Receivers default settings work best in most cases, but you may want to change them to your personal preferences. MANAGE RECORDINGS 57 CHAPTER 4 - RECORDINGS MANAGE RECORDINGS When recording a series, the Episode Type gives you the option to record first run only, repeats only, or both. 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 dont 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 programs 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. 58 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE RECORDING FROM YOUR COMPUTER, PHONE OR TABLET Have you ever forgotten to set a recording and wished you could do it remotely from work or while on the go?

SPECIAL FEATURES 69 CHAPTER 5 - EXTRAS & SPECIAL FEATURES DIRECTV WHOLE-HOME DVR SERVICE DIRECTVs Whole-Home DVR service is like having a DVR in every room. Now even rooms with HD Non-DVR Receivers or Clients can schedule and show recorded programs. Whole-Home provides more flexibility to the whole household with these benefits:

Watch recorded shows in any room. Start watching in one room, finish in another. Record or delete shows from any room. Record two shows at once, while watching two shows from your Playlist. Set your DVR from any mobile phone, tablet or computer. NETWORK SET UP Networking your HD DVR, HD Non-DVR Receivers and/or Clients enables them to share content. This is typically done by a DIRECTV installer during your installation appointment. To learn more about upgrade and eligibility requirements, go to directv.com/

wholehome. To get a quick understanding of how recorded content is shared by your household, skip to step 6. NOTE: To access DIRECTV Whole-Home DVR service functionality, you need a DIRECTV HD DVR Receiver (models HR20-HR23 with DECA, HR24, HR34, HR44), an additional Whole-Home-capable Receiver (models H21 with DECA H24, H23 with DECA, R22 with DECA, HR20-HR23 with DECA, H25, HR24, HR34, HR44) or Client (DIRECTV C31, C41, C41W; or other brand DIRECTV Ready Client) for each TV, a SWiM network, HD Access, DVR service and DIRECTV Whole-Home DVR service. There is a limit of one remote viewing per DVR at a time. For Whole-Home DVR to function, your Receivers should never have an Ethernet cable connected, unless it is connected to a DECA. H24, H25, HR24, HR34, and HR44 Receivers should never have a DECA installed. 70 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE DIRECTV WHOLE-HOME DVR SERVICE After your system is set up, see the following steps to personalize your Whole-Home experience and take advantage of its many great features and functionality. 1.

Whole-Home DVR service keeps things simple by giving you a single, unified playlist of all your recordings on any connected TV. 5. Record Programs:

If youre in a room with an HD DVR, and youve authorized DIRECTV Whole-Home DVR service, the program recording process is unchanged.

(record) button.

To delete a program from your Playlist, use the arrow keys to highlight the desired show and press the RED button. Youll then be asked to confirm the deletion. 74 NOTE: Only two locations can access a recorded program at the same time (the HD DVR on which the program was recorded and one other location).

These include: audio options, video format, TV resolution, network setup, remote control setup and more. INFO & TEST Select Info & Test to display the System Info & Test screen. Select Run System Test to initiate a test of the tuners, Receiver ID and phone line. NOTE: Running the System Test will interfere with live TV and any current recordings. Select More System Info to review your basic system information such as Receiver model, Receiver ID, access card number, software version, etc. as well as, current Receiver settings. This information can be useful during troubleshooting. DISPLAY Select Display to access the following options: Preferences, Video, TV Ratio, TV Resolution, Captioning or Clock. Before you get started, you may want to review Appendix 5, About High-

Definition, which describes HD formats and resolutions. 80 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE Preferences These are user interface display settings which include:

Recording Tips: Turn On or Off helpful tips that display onscreen whenever you schedule a recording. Guide HD Channels: Choose whether you want the Guide to show HD channels and their duplicate SD channels or to hide the SD duplicates. Guide shows: Select whether you want the first press of the GUIDE button to take you directly to the Program Guide or to go to the category filter first. Language: Select your preferred onscreen text language. Scrolling Effects: Turn scrolling effects ON or OFF. This affects the appearance of large text areas when they scroll. Banner Time: Set the Channel Banner time to determine how quickly the banner disappears after moving to a new channel. NOTE: To change your screen format and resolution temporarily, press INFO on your remote, select Audio/ Video from the Channel Banner and select Change Resolution & Format. Video Set your preference for the following screen options: Native, Screen Format and Bar Color. Native: You can turn Native Mode ON or OFF. When Native Mode is ON, your TV auto-changes to match the resolution of the SETTINGS 8181 CHAPTER 6 - SETTINGS & HELP SETTINGS program coming into the Receiver. For example, if Native Mode is ON and a program is being broadcast in 480p, your High-Definition Receiver prompts the TV to show it in that same format. If the next program changes to 1080i, the Receiver tells the TV to change to that format. Native Mode slows down the systems response time to channel changes since the Receiver and TV must adjust the picture resolution at every channel change. Because of this, the default setting is OFF. When Native Mode is OFF, your Receiver will display the program at the highest resolution set on the TV Resolutions screen. Screen Format: When a program is broadcast in a format that does not exactly fit your TV screen, your Receiver will automatically size the picture. Screen Format options include Original Format, Pillar Box (Widescreen 16:9 HDTVs only), Letterbox (Standard 4:3 TVs only), Stretch and Crop:

If youre watching a widescreen movie on a Standard 4:3 TV, you may want to choose Letterbox which places bars on the top and bottom of the screen. If your HDTV is 4:3 aspect ratio, you may want to Crop or cut off the content at the left and right side of the screen while preserving the proportion of the picture that remains. You can also Stretch the picture vertically or horizontally to fill up the screen. Bar Color: Select the Bar Color option to set the color of the bars displayed when you view programming in Letterbox or Pillar Box modes. TV Ratio Set the aspect ratio that matches your TV. Options are Standard 4:3 or Widescreen 16:9. 82 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE TV Resolutions Select the resolutions your TV can support so your Receiver can pass the proper signal. To find the resolutions your TV supports, check the Users Guide that came with your TV. If you select a resolution your TV doesnt support, the Receiver will reset the resolution after a few seconds. Captioning Select Captioning to turn closed captioning ON or OFF, and to select the font style, size and color for the display of captions. Clock Select Clock to set your time zone and whether you want the Receiver to show Daylight Savings time or not. SETTINGS 8383 CHAPTER 6 - SETTINGS & HELP SETTINGS AUDIO Select Audio to make a persistent change to your audio settings. Audio options include:

Language: Select your preferred audio language, i.e. English, Spanish, Chinese, etc. Sound Effects: Select the volume of sound effects.

IR/RF Setup Certain remote control models feature Radio Frequency (RF) capability. DIRECTVs new Genie Remote (black & white design) is both Infra Red (IR) and RF capable, but you must select the mode you want. Otherwise, you will need to refer to the model number printed on the top left corner of your DIRECTV Remote Control to confirm its Remote type. A letter R at the end of the model number (which may be followed by other letters) indicates that the remote supports RF. If no letters follow the number, the SETTINGS 8585 CHAPTER 6 - SETTINGS & HELP SETTINGS remote works in IR mode only. Please refer back to Chapter 1, Using Your Remote Control for detailed information. NOTE: While the newer Genie (HR34, HR44 and above) HD DVRs are RF-capable, previous model DIRECTV Receivers may also be RF-capable. To change your remote method of transmission from IR signals to RF, select Settings, then Remote Control and then IR/RF Setup. While IR transmission requires a clear line of sight to the front of the Receiver, RF transmission lets you put your Receiver inside a cabinet or behind solid doors and still be able to command it from up to 200 feet away. Receiver Mode Select Receiver Mode if you want to use one remote to command a second DIRECTV Receiver.

POWER SAVING Some DIRECTV Receivers are Energy Star certified, meaning they include features that reduce power consumption. The Power Saving option automatically puts these Receivers into Standby mode when there is no activity on your Remote for 4 hours. When the feature is ON, a message will display to warn you before the Receiver goes into Standby mode. SETTINGS 8787 CHAPTER 6 - SETTINGS & HELP SETTINGS RESET The Reset screen lets you Restart the Receiver, reset to factory defaults, or reset everything. Restart Receiver is the same function as pressing the red reset button behind the access card door on the front of the Receiver. This option does not affect your settings and scheduled recordings.

NOTE: Occasional fluctuations in the phone line or satellite signal can give temporary false readings, therefore we recommend running a system test several times before concluding there is a problem. 108 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE Q: What to do about temporary loss of satellite signal, frozen picture, or picture breaking into blocks /

pixels?

The image on your screen is frozen, blocky, or you see a message that says, Searching for Satellite Signal (x 771). FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Possible Causes:

Severe weather (rain, snow, hail etc.) may cause this issue. There may be an obstruction to your dish (debris, snow, ice, etc.) or a building or tree that blocks your line of sight to the satellite. There may be a problem with the cables running from your satellite dish to your DIRECTV Receiver. If the picture is frozen, blocky, or pixelated, there may be a problem with the transmission from the source. Solution:

Weather issues are usually temporary. Wait for the weather to clear and your signal should return to normal. If there are no weather problems in your area, reset your DIRECTV DVR using the red RESET button behind the door on the front of the Receiver or by unplugging the Receiver for 15 seconds and then plugging it back in. Check all the connections on the back of your Receiver, starting with the SAT-IN connection, and make sure theyre secure. If the problem originates from the program source (for example, you see the problem on one channel, but not on any others), wait for the channel to resolve the issue. Check Satellite (SAT-IN) Connections Coaxial Satellite Cable If there are obstructions blocking the dishs path to the satellite, you should contact a professional to remove them, or a DIRECTV installer at 1.800.531.5000 to relocate your dish. If your signal strength is lower than 70 (60 or lower on HD Receivers) in good weather, contact a professional installer to realign your dish, or call DIRECTV at 1.800.531.5000. 109 CHAPTER 8 - TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Why is my screen blue, black, gray or snowy?

Your TV displays a blue, black, gray or snowy screen. Possible Causes:

Your TV and/or your Receiver are not powered on. The DIRECTV Receiver and most TVs and VCRs let you toggle between different video sources. Your TV may be on a different input source than what you are trying to view. Your TV may not support the selected HD resolution from your Receiver. Solution:

Check that the DIRECTV Receiver and TV are both powered on. If you dont see the DIRECTV picture, verify your current TV input by turning the TV on and off. Most TVs display the input in the upper right- or left-hand corner. If the input is set to something other than your DIRECTV Receiver, toggle through the inputs with the input button on the DIRECTV Remote (if programmed) or TV Remote a your picture displays.

1. Find the Input or Source button on your TV and press it. It may be on the front panel, sides, bottom, or top edges of your TV. 2. Slowly set the TV to each input option, one at a time. Sometimes it takes a second or two for the input to switch, so dont proceed too quickly. 3. Set the TV to whichever input displays a picture. If you see a snowy screen and are using a coax connection to connect to the TV, make sure your TV is on channel 3 or 4. Press the TV/VCR button on the VCR Remote or on the VCRs front panel. If problems persist, turn off all equipment connected to your TV, wait a few minutes, then turn the DIRECTV Receiver back on. Check your connections and cables. 110 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE Check the HD output resolutions and deselect those not supported by your TV.

Q: Why wont my DIRECTV Receiver or Client turn on?

Your Receiver or Client wont turn on with either the Remote or from the front panel. Possible Causes:

Remote batteries have an insufficient charge. Receiver / Client or power strip is not plugged in to a power source, or power cord is not plugged in to the Receiver. Wall outlet is not providing power. Solution:

If your Receiver or Client wont turn on, the problem may be with the device itself, or with the remote control. Please try the following:

To Check the Receiver or Client (C31, C41, C41W and above):

Verify the detachable power cord is plugged into the back of the DIRECTV Receiver or Client and the wall outlet. Check the outlet or power strip to make sure it is live by plugging in something else.

Q: I wanted to record a program, but I got an error message saying it conflicted with another scheduled record. What do I do?

Your DIRECTV DVR can record up to two programs at once, or it can record one program while you watch another live program. Possible Causes:

You tried to record three programs at the same time or tried to watch a live program while recording two others at the same time. There was an overlap in the programs you tried to record. Solution:

If you tried to record three programs at once, or watch a live TV program with two others recording, you will need to decide which recording to cancel. If the overlap is a couple of minutes (for example, some networks occasionally start programs at 8:59 instead of 9:00 p.m.), adjust your recording start and end time Recording Options. See the Changing a Record Option section in Chapter 4. Someone else manually deleted the program. The hard drive on your DVR is full. The program may not have recorded. 120 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE Q: I recorded a program but the recording stopped just before the end so I missed the last bit of the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS program. Why?

Your recording stopped before the program or event ended. Possible Causes:

The program you were trying to record may have started or ended early. If you were trying to record a sporting event, the event may have run over its allotted time. You may have had a recording conflict with a higher priority program. Someone may have manually ended the recording. Solution:

Try setting the end time of the recording in the Record Options so the recording ends one or two minutes later (or more, if necessary). You may be able to record the same program again later in the week. Check the Program Guide for additional showings. For sporting events, you may want to extend the recording stop time 15 minutes or more to protect against overtime games. If you had a priority conflict, try adjusting your start and end times. You may need to choose a different time slot to record a program if the conflict continues. Q: Why was a program I recorded displayed in the My Playlist screen, but deleted before I could watch it?

Your recording(s) were deleted before you had a chance to view them. Possible Causes:

Someone else manually deleted the program. The hard drive on your DVR is full. The program may not have recorded. The Receiver may have deleted older recordings to make room for newer ones. 121 CHAPTER 8 - TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS You exceeded the allotted purchase or viewing time on a Pay Per View movie or event. Bad weather may have caused a loss in signal. Your Receiver will automatically delete these incomplete programs. Solution:

Delete some of the content on your DVR to make room for new recordings. Change your recording options to keep programs until you delete them manually. See Recording a Single Show or Recording a Series in Chapter 4 for details. You can also change a recording youve already made to Keep Until I Delete. See Managing My Playlist in Chapter 4.

Press MENU, select Recordings, then Manage Recordings, then To Do List, choose the show you want to change and select it, select RECORD, press SELECT on Keep, press SELECT on the Keep Until box to change it to I Delete, use the ARROW button to move over to Update and press SELECT. If you recorded a DIRECTV CINEMA movie or Pay Per View event, but did not watch it, the time which you are allowed to purchase or watch it may have expired. To avoid this in the future, check your Pay Per View recordings in the My Playlist screen for expiration dates. Q: Ive set up a series recording. Why do I get reruns and multiple copies of the same program?

Your DVR is getting full of duplicate recordings of the same program, or old episodes of the chosen show. Possible Causes:

Your series is set to record both First Run and Repeat episodes. The programmer may not provide enough details in the program description for your Receiver to determine whether the program is a repeat. Solution:

When you set up a series, make sure you select only the First Run option. This is the default for one-touch recording unless you have changed your default recording settings. 122 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE Q: Why are the DIRECTV menus/screens not displaying on my TV?

The user may find the following booklet, prepared by the Federal communications Commission, helpful: How to Identify and Resolve Radio and TV Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC. To meet FCC requirements, only peripherals (computer input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) certified to comply with Class B limits may be attached to this device. Operation with non-certified peripherals is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. To meet FCC requirements, shielded cables are required to connect the device to a personal computer, peripheral, or other Class B certified device. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules and the requirements adopted by ACTA. On the back of this equipment is a label that contains a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this information must be provided to your telephone company. This equipment uses the following USOC Jack: RJ11C. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details. The REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) is used to determine the number of devices that may connect to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact your local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without the decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). If this DIRECTV Receiver causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isnt practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance in order for you to make necessary modifications to 131 CHAPTER 9 - WARRANTY AND OTHER INFORMATION FCC CUSTOMER INFORMATION maintain uninterrupted service.

If trouble is experienced with this unit, for repair or warranty information, please contact DIRECTV Customer Care at the address and phone number listed below. If the equipment is causing harm to the network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. DIRECTV 2230 E. Imperial Hwy El Segundo, CA 90245 1-800-DIRECTV If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this DIRECTV Satellite Receiver does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your alarm company, telephone company or a qualified installer. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS EQUIPMENT. It does not contain any user-serviceable components. We recommend the installation of an AC surge arrester in the AC outlet to which this equipment is connected. Telephone companies report that electrical surges, typically lightning transients, are very destructive to customer terminal equipment connected to AC power sources. FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement MPE/SAR/RF Exposure Information. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment was verified for RF exposure and found to comply with Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC and FCC OET-65 RF exposure requirements.

Attention: Vice President, STB Engineering DIRECTV 2230 E. Imperial Highway El Segundo, CA 90245 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 Copyright 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. 135 CHAPTER 9 - WARRANTY AND OTHER INFORMATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF SOFTWARE (TERMS) Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundations software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. Also, for each authors protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyones free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. 136 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF SOFTWARE (TERMS) GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The Program, below, refers to any such program or work, and a work based on the Program means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.

(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term modification.) Each licensee is addressed as you. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Programs source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) 137 CHAPTER 9 - WARRANTY AND OTHER INFORMATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF SOFTWARE (TERMS) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 138 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF SOFTWARE (TERMS) 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. 139 CHAPTER 9 - WARRANTY AND OTHER INFORMATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF SOFTWARE (TERMS) This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and any later version, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), 140 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF SOFTWARE (TERMS) EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the copyright line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

<one line to give the programs name and a brief idea of what it does.>

For the Universal Remote, make sure the MODE switch at the top of the Remote is set to DIRECTV, which is the far-left position. 2. Press ON. The DIRECTV Receiver will turn on. (Make sure your TV is also turned on!) 3. The first screen will allow you to select a language. Using the arrow keys on the remote control, move to the language you prefer and press SELECT. 4. Follow the onscreen instructions. After these setup procedures are complete, youll see a message onscreen that says, Acquiring Satellite Info, as the Receiver gathers information from the satellite for the onscreen Program Guide. Next, youll be given the opportunity to program your remote to control other equipment such as your TV and/or DVD player. Just follow the screen instructions and youll be ready to watch in no time!

ACTIVATE YOUR DIRECTV SERVICE Once all the setup processes are complete, all thats left to do is activate your DIRECTV service. Be sure to:

1. Have on hand your service address, social security number and a valid major credit card. 2. Note your Receiver ID and access card numbers. The Receiver ID is on a sticker behind the access card door on the front of the Receiver, while the card number is on the access card itself. Use the Product Information page to note this information. 3. When youre ready, call 1.800.531.5000 to choose the programming package thats right for you and subscribe to DIRECTV service. 144 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE YOUR PHONE CONNECTION APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT Connecting your Receiver to a land-based telephone line saves you money. It allows you to purchase Pay Per View movies and special events without calling DIRECTV to order. It is required for sports package subscriptions and is also used to enhance features on interactive channels. The Receiver uses a toll-free number once a month for a few minutes duration and is designed not to interfere with your regular phone service. You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack (the most common type of phone jack). If you disconnect the phone line, the Receiver will be unable to transact PPV purchases, and some interactive channel features will be limited. If your Receiver is connected to the Internet, either directly or via a DIRECTV Home Network connection, you do not need to be connected to a phone line. See Your Internet Connection below. WARNING: Do not connect your Receiver to a digital PBX phone system doing so may permanently damage your equipment and void your warranty. YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION Connecting your DIRECTV Receiver to the Internet and your home network gives you access to the full range of DIRECTV features and content like:

Thousands of free and premium On Demand titles, some almost a month before they are available on Netflix and other streaming services. TV Apps, including ScoreGuide, Weather, and Whats Hot. Pandora, Music & Photos and more. The instructions for connecting to a network vary depending on whether you have Whole-Home DVR Service or not. Please see Appendix 4 for more information. NOTE: For the most current options, benefits and instructions for connecting your Receiver to the Internet, go to directv.com/getconnected. 145 APPENDICES APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS FOR AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT If you upgrade your TV, or DIRECTV Receiver, or add new equipment such as a surround sound system, DVD player or burner, you have various options for connecting your equipment. All of the video and audio outputs on your Receiver offer good quality. Pick a video and audio output from the following lists based on the connectors your Receiver and TV support; they are listed in order, with the highest quality options at the top of each list. Not all connectors are available on all Receivers and TV models. NOTE:

Not all cables come with your Receiver; you may need to purchase additional cables depending on your setup. HDMI cables are available from DIRECTV at a nominal charge. Contact DIRECTV customer service for more information. Never connect an IN to an IN or an OUT to an OUT. All A/V jacks and inputs are color-coded. Always match the color of the plug to the same color of the jack. To obtain the best picture quality, make sure the Receiver is connected directly to the TV. Due to restrictions imposed by copyright holders, certain programming may include content protection measures that may restrict viewing or recording with certain consumer electronics equipment attached to the Receiver. Please contact the manufacturer of such equipment for additional information. 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. WARNING: Do not connect your Receiver (or any other equipment, such as a TV or VCR) to the AC power supply until you have properly connected all the other cables. 146 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE The table below shows the benefits and disadvantages of each type of available video connector:

HDMI is the only recommended cable, and is required for the highest quality 1080p signal and 3D TV. Component Video Output (YPbPr) provides high-quality HD video, but does not provide audio. You will need to connect audio separately using the digital audio or RCA audio connectors. Newer Receivers have an A/V Out connector that provides Component Video and RCA audio output in a single, custom cable. Component cables do not provide 1080p or 3D TV. SD Video Connections These cables are provided for convenience only, and do not present an HD picture. They are useful if you have to connect your DIRECTV HD DVR to an older CRT TV, a VCR, or other non-HD device. S-Video provides good video, but does not provide audio. You will need to connect audio separately using the digital audio or RCA audio connectors. (Not all Receivers have S-Video outputs.) RCA output (composite video) provides good video and usually comes bundled with three cables for one video and two audio channels. 147 APPENDICES APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT Audio Connections HDMI [High-Definition Multimedia Interface] provides the best digital video and audio in one connector. Digital Audio Optical provides excellent quality digital audio and is often used on newer surround sound and DVD equipment. Digital Audio Coax provides high quality digital audio and is also found on newer surround sound and DVD equipment. RCA outputs provide good audio quality and are found on older auxiliary equipment. Because so many makes and models of TVs and auxiliary equipment are available, we cannot fully describe all of the possible connections with your Receiver. Refer to the manuals for that equipment to see the connection options specific to each make and model. The following images show examples of how your Receiver may be connected using the supported video and audio connections for the TV, the surround sound, and the DVD player/burner. Several models of DIRECTV Receivers are shown, giving you a variety of connection options to your TV and other equipment. 148 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT HD TV CONNECTIONS Example: TV with HDMI Connector - RECOMMENDED Here is an example using a TV that has an HDMI connector as the best video/audio input. Note: Only an HDMI connection provides a 1080p picture and 3D TV. HDMI Cable 149 APPENDICES APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT HD TV CONNECTIONS Example: TV with Component Video Connectors Here is an example using a TV that has component video connectors as the best video input. Note: A Component Video connection will not provide a 1080p picture nor 3D TV. Component Video requires a separate audio connection. Component Video 150 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT SD TV CONNECTIONS

(This connection does not provide an HD picture.) Example: TV with RCA Connectors Here is an example of a TV that has an S-Video connector as the best video input (Not all Receivers have an S-Video connector.) S-Video requires a separate audio connection. S-Video Cable 151 APPENDICES APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT SD TV CONNECTIONS

(This connection does not provide an HD picture.) Example: TV with RCA Connectors Here is an example of a TV that has RCA connectors as the best video input. RCA cables are often bundled as a three-way cable with one video and two audio connections. You can also purchase a single-connection RCA video cable, and a separate cable for audio. RCA Video and Audio 152 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT AUDIO CONNECTIONS Of all the video connections, only HDMI provides an audio signal with the video. The other connections all require a separate audio cable. Of these, your best quality signal will be from the Digital Audio Out/Optical connector, followed by the Digital Coax connector, followed by the RCA Audio Out connector. The connector you end up using may be determined by the equipment you are connecting to. (For example, your home theater system may support only the Digital Audio Out/Optical connector.) The red and white RCA audio out connectors are so common, it is possible you may have one of these cables already. However, these cables provide an analog signal, so you will be missing out on the benefits of digital quality sound. RCA Audio Digital Coax Digital Optical HDMI Cable 153 APPENDICES APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS TO OTHER EQUIPMENT In addition to your TV, you may wish to connect other devices, such as a BluRay Player, DVD burner, or even a second TV to your DIRECTV Receiver. For the best-quality picture, it is recommended you do not use a pass-through connection from your TV or other equipment as an input to a DVD burner. Instead, use an available connection from your DIRECTV Receiver. For example, if you use the HDMI connection on your DIRECTV Receiver to connect to your TV, you can use the Component Video, Composite Video RCA, or S-Video Out to connect to your DVD burner or second TV. DVD Player 154 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE APPENDIX 3: RECEIVER FRONT AND BACK PANELS Front Panel Example The buttons on the front panel perform the same functions as like-named buttons on the Remote.

Analog TV (i.e., non-digital, conventional TV):

Aspect ratio = 4 units wide by 3 units high (4:3). SDTV & EDTV = 4:3 or 16:9. HDTV = 16:9 (nearly twice as wide as it is tall.) HDTVs aspect ratio is approximately the shape of theatrical movie screens, which makes HD an ideal format for viewing movies on TV. To optimize the display of programs on your television:

Press INFO, then ARROW Right to Audio/Video and select Change Resolution & Format. Press SELECT until you see the settings you want. OR, using the RES (Resolution) key on the front panel of the DIRECTV HD DVR (HR25, HR34, HR44 and above) to change the resolution, but not the screen format, press RES and cycle through the options until you see the indicator light illuminate on the front of the Receiver for the resolution you want.

To confirm your Receivers Native setting, press MENU, select Settings & Help, then select Settings, then Display, then Video. Press SELECT on the Native field to toggle this setting On or Off. 165 APPENDICES APPENDIX 5: ABOUT HIGH-DEFINITION FORMAT Key on the Universal Remote Alternately, if you are using a DIRECTV Universal Remote (RC6x series), you can use the FORMAT key on your remote to cycle the resolutions settings supported by your TV, as well as the screen formats in conjunction with each individual resolution. Available screen formats such as crop, stretch or letter/pillar box, are based on the TV Ratio setting. With each press, an onscreen message will indicate the current resolution/format setting is. If Native is turned on, the FORMAT key cycles through the following formats for the current programs native resolution:

Stretch Letter Crop The FORMAT key allows you to easily cycle all resolution and format settings with a single key until the picture displays the way you like it. NOTE: If pressing this key causes a loss of video and audio, continue pressing it until the picture returns. (Wait a second between presses to allow the Receiver to change the resolution.) This can happen if your settings include a resolution that your TV doesnt support. To correct this: Press MENU, select Settings & Help, Settings, HDTV and then TV Resolutions. Mark or unmark the TV Resolutions to display the resolutions supported by your television. 166 DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE SUPPORTED RESOLUTIONS The following table shows the resolutions that can be output from each type of connection:

APPENDIX 5: ABOUT HIGH-DEFINITION Output Connection Available Resolutions HDMI 1080i, 1080p, 720p, 480p Component Video (YPbPr) 1080i, 720p, 480i, 480p S-Video Video (RCA Type/Yellow) 480i 480i NOTE: 720p, 1080i and 1080p are HD formats: 480i and 480p are not. S-Video and RCA outputs display all resolutions as 480i. 167 APPENDICES APPENDIX 5: ABOUT HIGH-DEFINITION WIDE-SCREEN VS. STANDARD FORMATS 4:3 TVs Showing 16:9 Programing A standard 4:3 TV is too narrow to a wide screen program. To correct this, choose:

Letterbox: This format, shrinks the 16.9 image until the entire width of the program fits on your TV. Since the aspect ratio of the program is maintained, the image is no longer tall enough to fill your screen, so gray or black bars are seen at the top and bottom of the screen. To change the bar color, press MENU, select Settings & Help, Settings, and then Video. Arrow right and down to the Bar Color field, then scroll through the color options to select your desired bar color. See your TVs owners manual for information on the best color for your set. Stretch: In the Stretch setting, instead of adding bars to the top and bottom, the 16:9 program image is stretched vertically until its tall enough to fill the screen. Your entire screen will be full, but the program images are stretched to compensate. Crop: This format crops (cuts off) the left and right portions of the 16:9 frame so it fits the 4:3 screen. If your display is a 4:3 format TV or monitor, your format options include these:

168 Letterbox Stretch Crop DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE APPENDIX 5: ABOUT HIGH-DEFINITION 16:9 TVs Showing 4:3 Programs For a wide screen 16:9 TV showing a standard 4:3 TV program, the program is too tall to fit the screen. Your choices here include:

Pillar Box: Here the 4:3 image is shrunk until the entire height of the program fits on your TV. Since the aspect ratio is maintained, the image is no longer wide enough to fill the screen, so gray or black bars are seen at the left and right edges. To change the bar color, press MENU, select Settings & Help, Settings, and then Video. Select the desired bar color option. See your TVs owners manual for information on the best color for your set. Stretch: In this setting, instead of adding bars to the sides, the 4:3 program image is stretched horizontally until its wide enough to fill the screen. Your entire screen will be full, but the images are a little stretched to compensate. Crop: This format crops (cuts off) the top and bottom of a 4:3 frame, keeping the 4:3 ratio intact. If your display is a 16:9 format TV or monitor, your format options include these:
