Setup and Connections
Step 1: Unpack the DIRECTV System
Make sure to locate the remote control.
Step 2: Connect Your Digital
Satellite Receiver
During the satellite dish antenna installation, the digital satellite
receiver may have been connected to your TV with just a coaxial cable
for the system test. Depending on what components you have, another
connection may provide better picture and audio quality. The following
sections provide cable and connection information to help you decide
what connection is best for you.
Things To Know Before Connecting
Components
Protect Your Components from Power Surges
•Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the
wall outlet.
•Always turn off the digital satellite receiver, TV and other
components before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum or
Interference
•Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
•Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back panel
instead of straight down the middle after you connect your
components.
Remote Control
Digital Satellite Receiver
•Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from the
audio/video cables as much as possible.
•Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to
the Safety Tips sheet packed with your unit.
Protect Your Components from Overheating
•Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange
the components so that air can circulate freely.
•Do not stack components.
•Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a
stand.
•Place an amplifier or receiver on the top shelf of the stand so
heated air rising from it will not flow around other components.

Setup and Connections
Jacks and Cables
Below is a description of the jacks and cables you can use to make
connections. Note that not all cables come with your DIRECTV system.
S-Video Jack and Cable
S-Video jacks provides the best picture quality for your DIRECTV system.
S-Video jacks are available on many TVs and are used to carry visual
information from the digital satellite receiver to your TV. Remember to
connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video jack carries
only the picture signal, not the sound.
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
Audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound quality,
and should be used if your TV has no S-Video jack. These jacks can also
be used to connect other components. The digital satellite receiver
audio/video jacks are color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio,
and white for left audio). If your TV has only one input for audio
(mono), connect it to the right (red) audio jack on the receiver.
S-Video jack and cable
Audio/video jacks and cable
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cable (F-type)
The RF jacks provide good picture and mono sound quality, and are to
be used if audio/video connections are not available on your TV. These
jacks are also used for antenna and cable connections. The RF jacks on
the receiver are labeled IN FROM ANT, OUT TO TV, and RF REMOTE. The
coaxial cable supplied with your system is used to connect the receiver to
your TV’s antenna input jack.
Telephone Jack and Cord
The telephone line cord is required to connect your digital satellite
receiver to a telephone line if you choose to subscribe to DIRECTV®
programming*. The phone line connection is used to periodically call
out to DIRECTV. You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack, which is the
most common type of phone jack and might look like one of those
pictured here. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local telephone
company to find out how to get one installed.
