Making the Right Connections

Are you ready to connect your DIRECTV Plus® Receiver and your other components?

Whether you’re having your system professionally installed or handling it yourself, be sure to read over the following few pages to familiarize yourself with some important tips for safety and care.

Before you begin

Your satellite dish antenna must be installed before you ca n begin following the procedures in this User Guide. (Professional installation is highly recommended.) Your dish needs to be mounted in a position where it has access to the satellite signals, and RG-6 coaxial cables must be run into the room(s) where your receiver(s) will be located. If you choose to insta ll the dish yourself, see the separate instr uction manual that came with your satellite dish antenna.

Package Contents

The following items are included with your DIRECTV Plus Receiver:

4 A/V cables (RCA type) 4 Acce ss card 4 S-Video cable 4 User Guide 4 Phone cord 4 Remote Control & batteries 4 Power cord

CHAPTER 1

Hardware Reference

General

Satellit e Dish Antenna

This is your “dish” and related hardware, afﬁ xed to your roof or other sur face, which picks up the broadcast signals from our satellites.

DIRECTV Plus Receiver (or Satellite Receiver)

Your DIRECTV Plus Rec eiver pick s up the signal from your satellite dish a ntenna and translates it into viewable TV programming.

Access Card

Contains info about your DIRECTV

service. It must be properly inserted for your receiver to

work and to activate your programming.

Cables & Connections

Best Video: S-Video Jack and Cable

S-Video jacks a nd cables provide the best picture quality. You will still need to connect the left and right audio cables to the TV, or optical audio cable to your stereo, because the S-Video cable only carries the picture signal, not sound.

Audio/Video (A/V) Jac k and Cable

Audio/ Video (A/V ) cables provide very good picture quality and stereo sound, and should be used if your TV does not have S -Video jac ks. The DIRECTV Plus Receiver’s A/V jacks are color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio and white for left audio). I f you r TV has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white) audio jack on the DIRECTV Plus Receiver.

Chapter 1

Best Audio: D igital Audio Optical Jack and Cable

The Digital Audio Optical cable provides the best qual ity audio. The jack and cable use light to send digital audio data to A/ V receivers equipped to receive and interpret it. The jack and cable (cable not included) must be aligned before plugging in, and may be covered by protective caps, which must be removed before making connections.

RF Jack and Coaxial Cable (F-type)

RF jacks and coaxial cables provide good picture and mono sound quality. They should be used if A/V connections are not available on your TV. RF jacks are used to connect to your TV and satellite dish, off-air a ntenna and cable feed connections. The R F jacks on the receiver are labeled SATELLITE IN, OFF-AIR IN and OUT TO TV. Note: Be sure to use RG-6 coaxial ca ble when connecting from the satellite dish to the DIRECTV Plus Receiver.

Telephone Jack and Cord

The telephone line cord is required to connect your DIRECTV Plus Receiver to a land-based telephone line if you choose to subscribe to DIRECTV programming. The phone line connection is used to periodically call DIRECTV. You will need an RJ11-type modu lator jack (the most common type of phone jack). Note: Do not connect your receiver to a digital PBX phone system — doing so may permanently damage your equipment and void your wa r ranty.

Note: Not all cables come with

your digital satellite

receiver; you may need to

purchase additional cables

depending on your setup.

Choose Your Setup

There are several ways to connect your receiver to match your particular equipment setup and to gain optimum signal quality. The basic steps are as follows:

• Connect the satellite di sh cable to your receiver.

• Connect the receiver audio and video to your TV or VCR.

• If you connected the receiver to a VCR, connect t he VCR to your TV.

• Connect the receiver to a telephone line.

• Plug in all power cords. The following pages give detailed instructions on the types of connections you can make, depending on the equipment you have, in order to get the best picture and sound quality. Note that the back panels of your TV and other equipment may not exactly match those illustrated.

Connecting Your DIRECTV Plus Receiver to the Satellite Dish

Connect the RG- 6 RF coaxial cable(s) from your satell ite di sh to the jack(s) labeled SATELLITE IN on the DIRECTV Plus Receiver. Note that in order to take full advantage of your DIRECTV Plus Receiver’s features, you should connect a coaxial cable to each of the two SATELL ITE IN connectors.

Connecting Your DIRECTV Plus Receiver to your TV or VCR

Depending on the connections on the back of your TV or VCR, you have the following options:

• S-Video & Digital Optical (or A/V Audio) Connection (Best Quality)
