Satellite 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 of the National Electric Code (NEC) and in particular Article 810-15, which covers proper installation and grounding of television receiving equipment, as well as to Article 820-33, which specifies that the satellite dish antenna cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical. These codes require proper grounding of the metal structure 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 perform the installation, the installer must observe installation codes. This manual contains instructions on how to make the installation in compliance with the NEC. If additional local installation codes apply, contact local inspection authorities.

Example of Antenna Grounding according to the National Electrical Code instructions contained in “Radio and Television Equipment”.

Note: The DIRECTV Receiver must be grounded through the satellite/ local antenna cable before plugging into the telephone jack, and it must remain grounded thereafter.

Water and Moisture – WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.

Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet, disconnect the antenna and cable system, and disconnect it from the telephone line. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

Television Antenna Information – Installing an outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna installer. Do not locate the outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal. If an outside antenna is connected to the DIRECTV Receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. This DIRECTV Receiver is equipped with a plug that will fit into the power outlet only one way. Do not modify the plug defeating this feature. If the plug does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. To prevent electric shock, do not use this plug with an extension cord or outlet unless you can fully insert the blades without blade exposure. Section 810 of the NEC, NFPA No. 70 1987, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Power Lines – Extreme care must be taken when installing and adjusting

or maintaining the outdoor antenna and connecting cable, especially in the vicinity of overhead power lines, electric lights, or power circuits. When installing the outdoor antenna or cable, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching or approaching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

Cleaning – Unplug this receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.

Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this DIRECTV Receiver through openings as they may touch dangerous voltages or “short out” parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the receiver. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

SERVICE

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Conditions Requiring Service–Unplug the DIRECTV Receiver from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug has been damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled on, or objects have fallen into, the DIRECTV

Receiver or it has been exposed to water.

• If the DIRECTV Receiver does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Other adjustments may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the DIRECTV Receiver to its normal operation.

• If the DIRECTV Receiver has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

• When the DIRECTV Receiver exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Replacement Parts–When replacement parts are required, have the technician verify that the replacements being used have the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use of replacement parts specified by the manufacturer can prevent fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Safety Check–Upon completion of any service or repairs to this DIRECTV Receiver, ask the service technician to perform safety checks recommended by the manufacturer to determine that the DIRECTV Receiver is in safe operating condition.

2 Getting Started

Connect your TV

Depending on your TV, you can connect it to the receiver in one of four ways:

• Component (Y,Pb,Pr,-HAH-SA only) video cable (best picture quality) or

• S-Video cable (excellent picture quality) or

• Video cable (very good picture quality) or

• Coaxial cable (good picture quality)

You will also want to use a pair of audio cables (L/R) to provide stereo sound. If your TV does not have standard A/V jacks, you will hear monophonic audio. This is acceptable for the procedures described in the next section.

An occasional “0” indication may be considered normal.

Results should generally resemble those in the figure, but the actual values will vary somewhat from those shown in the figure depending on your geographic location and specific installation. However, if your results are very different from these examples (i.e, rows of zeros or single-digit numbers) or you receive no signal indication:

• Highlight the Install tab on the INSTALLATION menu. Verify your settings.

• Re-enter your ZIP code if necessary to verify you have used the correct

antenna pointing parameters for your location.

• Check your cable connections.

• Ensure the DIRECTV

Receiver is connected to a modular telephone jack.

Once you have successfully obtained a signal and your test results resemble those shown in the figures, call DIRECTV (or your subscription service provider) to activate service if you have not already done so.

You can integrate the DIRECTV® Receiver into your entertainment system to take advantage of enhanced audio and video capability. Follow these instructions to connect your DIRECTV Receiver.

• To connect the DIRECTV Receiver to your audio system, use A/V cables to

connect the satellite receiver to the audio receiver’s

AUDIO IN jacks.

• Dolby Digital - With the HAH-SA satellite receiver, you can enjoy

programs that contain a Dolby Digital sound track. We recommend that you listen in surround sound for maximum enjoyment of these programs. You can connect the stereo outputs of the HAH-SA to a receiver that contains a Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder. This will provide you with three audio channels in the front and a mono surround channel.

• To take full advantage of Dolby Digital programming, connect the HAH-SA

digital audio output to an external 5.1-channel Dolby Digital decoder or receiver. This provides you with three front channels, two independent surround channels, and an LFE (or subwoofer) channel.

How to lock the system

When you first receive your satellite system, it will be unlocked; (i.e., no limits or restrictions are in effect). You must lock the system to enforce the limits (spending, ratings, TV timer, and “Family” favorite list).

Questions & Answers A

Questions? Did we forget to tell you something? We have compiled some the most common questions and their answers here. We hope they help!

Q I had a signal but now I am getting a message “Searching for satellite

signal. To access related utilities, press

A Rain clouds and snow can affect the satellite signal reception. This loss of

signal is temporary. Also check for new growth on trees and bushes that could be blocking the signal. One other possibility is that the wind or someone has moved the satellite dish antenna.

Q Why can’t I control my TV?

A Before you can control your TV, VCR, or any other device besides your

satellite receiver, you must program your remote control to match your different devices. See Chapter 3 – Using the remote control in this manual for specific instructions. If you have already successfully programmed your remote control, try pressing the appropriate device key to put your remote in the proper mode. Then try controlling that device. Also, make sure that the batteries in the remote control are good.

Q My satellite receiver does not respond when I press keys. What’s wrong?

SELECT.” What happened?

A Most likely, if the front panel keys work but the remote control doesn’t

work, try pressing the receiver. If that doesn’t work, press the try again. If that doesn’t work, or if the front panel buttons don’t work either, unplug your digital satellite receiver for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Your satellite receiver is a computing device. It is susceptible to erratic changes in power and/or signal, just as any other computer, and these sudden changes can cause it to become “confused.”

Q Some channels look good, while others freeze or indicate that no signal is

available. What’s wrong?

A The most common causes for this behavior relate to an improperly

grounded satellite cable. Check the cable between your digital satellite receiver and the satellite dish antenna. Confirm that RG-6 (not RG-59) cable is used and does not exceed 100 feet in length. Longer cable runs require amplification. This special amplifier is available from your dealer.

Q I’m getting a message to call some extension. Why?

A There are many different reasons for this. If you want to watch the channel

that is displaying the message, call DIRECTV at 1-800-531-5000.

Q Why don’t I have an on-screen offer to purchase pay per view programs?

A There are three possibilities; your digital satellite receiver must be

connected to a phone line and it is not, or DIRECTV doesn’t realize that your phone line is connected or has disabled your ability to make on-screen purchases. Call DIRECTV at 1-800-531-5000 for assistance.

Questions & Answers 41

Q Can I receive my local TV programs through my digital satellite receiver?

A There are three ways to receive local programming:

•If you are in an area where local programming is available via satellite and

have the proper satellite dish antenna, contact DIRECTV to arrange for the necessary subscription package.

•Install a traditional antenna (i.e., roof mounted, attic mounted, rabbit ears).

•Arrange for basic or “lifeline” cable TV service from your local cable

company.

If you select item 1 above, your local programming appears in the program guide like any other channel. For options 2 or 3, connect the local signal to

programming and local

Q I don’t see Caller ID information appear on screen when I receive a

telephone call. What could be wrong?

A There are several possible reasons. First, check that the satellite receiver is

connected to an active telephone jack. Verify that the Caller ID feature is turned on (refer to page 31). Confirm that you subscribe to Caller ID service from your telephone company. Also check that your antenna is properly grounded as shown on page iv, as this can affect how the Caller ID feature works.

Q If I have questions about my satellite system or need to have it serviced, who

should I call?

A For issues regarding your equipment, contact Hughes Consumer Care

Center directly at 1-800-274-8995, or if you prefer, call your dealer first. They are most familiar with your installation and needs. Also, they are likely to be local to you.

If you need assistance with your subscription, such as adding channels, contact DIRECTV at 1-800-531-5000.

Q I think I set an event to record on my VCR, but when I played the tape back

nothing was there. What could be wrong?

A There are several possible reasons for this. First, check that the VCR was

programmed correctly and left turned on and the input matches the output from your digital satellite receiver. Confirm that you were authorized to tape the chosen program.

Q Why do I need to connect the satellite receiver to a telephone line?

A The telephone connection is used by the satellite receiver report purchase

activity to DIRECTV.

Q I picked up my telephone and it was making a hissing and squealing sound.

Why?

42 Questions & Answers

A Your digital satellite receiver was reporting any pay per view activity that

may have occurred. This rarely happens and only lasts for a minute or so.

Q What if my question isn’t listed here?

A Call your dealer or Hughes Consumer Care Center at 1-800-274-8995.
