If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig.A.

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 and disconnect the antenna or cable system.This will prevent damage to the product from lightning and power line surges.

Telephony - Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm.There

may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power

lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such power lines or circuits.When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. Refer to installation of ODU.

Overview

Information in this guide will help you set up and use your Philips manufactured DIRECTV PLUS™ satellite receiver. Further help is available on screen.A glossary of terms is provided at the end of this manual.

Features

Your satellite receiver lets you receive television signals from up to three satellites. In addition, you can customize your viewing by setting up custom viewing schedules, setting favorite programs, setting viewing preferences, and ordering Pay-per-view programs.

9 Use the Guide to see what’s on, and to set a reminder so you don’t miss the start of a program you want to see. 9 Create your own list of favorite channels. 9 Restrict viewing access based on rating levels. 9 Tag programs for future viewing. 9 Receive mail messages from DIRECTV.

Before You Start

Before using your system, check the following:

9 Your system installation has been completed according to the instructions in the installation section. 9 The access card is installed as described on page 16. 9 A telephone line is connected to the system so that you can purchase pay per view programs.You must supply

the phone cord for the connection; it is not included with the satellite receiver.

9 DIRECTV has been called to activate your service.

Call DIRECTV at 1-800-DIRECTV (347-3280) to activate programming.

Modes

Your satellite receiver has four modes:

9 Standby - satellite receiver is on but inactive; television is off. 9 TV Mode - displays television programming. 9 Guide Mode - for viewing schedules and tuning to a program. 9 Menu Mode - for setting preferences and access codes.

To change modes, press the GUIDE or MENU button on the remote.

Standby Mode

When you press the POWER button on either the front panel or remote control, the satellite receiver enters standby mode.When you are not viewing, DO NOT TURN POWER OFF to the satellite receiver, because in standby mode, the Master Program Guide (MPG) is refreshed continuously to ensure the MPG will be up to date.
