The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

9. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the

type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

10. Grounding or Polarization – This product is equipped with a

polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

11. Power Cord Protection – Route power supply cords so that

they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

12. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – 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 Figure A.

14. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a light-

ning 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.

15. 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 Satellite Dish Antenna Assembly & Alignment Guide.

16. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

18. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged. b.If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product. c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water. d.If the product does not operate normally when following the operat-

ing instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

e.If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been dam-

aged in any way.

f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance –

this indicates a need for service.

20. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or which have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

21. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

A/V Matrix

Unplug all equipment from the AC outlet before making connections. Does your TV have only one video or RF input but you own a VCR, DVD player or other video equipment? Philips

offers the industry’s first A/V Matrix that allows you to command and control other video devices such as a DVD player or a VCR without additional equipment. You can use this DIRECTV® Receiver as the video gateway of your entertainment center.

1. Connect the outputs of your other devices (such as a DVD player or VCR) to the corresponding VIDEO and AUDIO LEFT/RIGHT inputs (IN1 or IN2) of the A/V Matrix on the rear of the DIRECTV Receiver.

2. To record satellite programming, connect the VIDEO and AUDIO LEFT/RIGHT outputs of OUT2 on the rear of the DIRECTV Receiver to the corresponding video and audio inputs on the VCR. These outputs always output satellite programming and are not affected by the A/V Matrix. Alternatively, you can connect the TO TV/VCR RF output to the RF input on the VCR but this output will output the selected video source of the A/V Matrix when this feature is enabled.

3. To use the A/V Matrix, you must use video output option C (VIDEO OUT1) or D (TO TV/VCR) from page 10 and you must first enable it in the Main Menu (refer to page 28).

Note: For additional hookups and operation information, refer to the owner’s manuals for the devices you are connecting to the DIRECTV Receiver.

Remote Control (cont’d)

Programming the Universal Remote control

Your remote control may already operate your TV, VCR or DVD player. If the remote control does not properly operate your TV, VCR or DVD player, follow the steps below. These instructions guide you through setting the remote control to operate your TV. For VCR and DVD player, follow the same steps, but press the VCR or DVD button at step 3.

1. Point the remote control at your TV and press the TV button. Then, press the POWER button. If your TV turns on or off, try the other TV function buttons (see page 16). If the other functions work, the remote is ready to operate the TV without any more steps. If your TV does not turn on or off, or if the other buttons do not work, go to step 2.

2. Find the brand and code number(s) of your TV on page 15.

3. Press the TV button.

4. Press and hold the number 1 & number 3 buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The LED will blink twice and remain on.

5. Enter the 4-digit code from step 2 within one minute. The LED will blink after each button press. Note: If the 4-digit code is

not entered within one minute, the LED will turn off and the remote control will return to the previously programmed code.

6. After a valid 4-digit code has been entered, the LED will turn off and blink twice to confirm the new 4-digit code has been programmed. The LED will then turn off.

7. If an invalid 4-digit code has been entered, the LED will turn off.

8. Press the POWER button. If the remote control operates your TV, you’re finished.

9. If the remote control doesn’t operate your TV and if there is more than 1 code for your TV brand, repeat steps 2-8.

10.For future reference, list the 4 digit code numbers you program into your remote:

TV code: __ __ __ __ VCR code: __ __ __ __ DVD code: __ __ __ __

11.If you cannot find a code that operates your TV, If the remote still does not operate your TV, follow the Automatic Search steps below.

Automatic Search

To automatically program your remote control to operate your TV, VCR or DVD player, follow the steps below. For a VCR and DVD player, follow the same steps but substitute that component for the TV.

1. Turn on your TV. Stand close to your TV (within 5 to 10 feet) and point your remote control towards the remote sensor on your TV. Press the TV button. Press and hold the number 1 and the number 3 buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The TV LED will blink twice and remain on.

2. Press the POWER button. The LED will turn off. If the POWER button is not pressed within 1 minute, the remote will return to the previously programmed code. The automatic search will begin after the POWER button has been released.

3. Each time a code is transmitted, the LED will blink. This process could take several minutes.

4. When the correct code is found, the TV should turn off. Immediately press the POWER button. The LED will blink twice,

then turn off. If all codes have been tried and the TV has not turned on or off the LED will stay on briefly, then turn off.

Note: To stop the search process at any time, press any button other than the POWER button. The LED will give a long blink and turn off. There is no guarantee that the remote control will work with your TV, VCR or DVD player.

Parental Controls: Set Spending Limit

You can set a per purchase spending limit on pay per view programs. It is not a cumulative limit. You must lock the DIRECTV

Receiver to enforce this setting (refer to page 29).

Parental Controls: Set Rating Limit

You can restrict viewing by setting the rating limits to certain levels. Ratings help you determine programming content, similar to the way films are rated.

For example, if you lock "R", "NC-17” and “X”" will be automatically locked. Press ▲▼ to select the desired limit and press OK to lock or unlock it. The Children-TV and Entire Audience-TV options contain sublevel ratings that can further identify the programming content.

strength meter stabilizes at a maximum reading. The range is 0 to

100. It is recommended to obtain a signal strength of at least 60. An audible tone will help with this procedure. The tones or beeps get faster as the signal strength increases until it becomes a continuous sound. If you have problems getting a signal, refer to the troubleshooting section of the user manual (page 35).
