grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about 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 antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
• Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
- when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged
- if liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit
- if the product has been exposed to rain or water
- if the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions
- if the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
- when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance
• If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the product to normal.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.
• 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 a safe operating condition.

Jacks and Cables
Jacks and Cables
Please read through the description of the jacks and cables included with your
Multi-Satellite Receiver. Use these cables to connect your Multi-Satellite Receiver
to your TV, VCR, and phone line.
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cable
The TV OUT RF jack requires a coaxial cable connection.
It outputs monaural sound and a good TV picture. Use
this connection if audio/video jack connections are not
provided on the back of your TV set. Make this connection
with the provided RF coaxial cable. RF jacks are also used
for terrestrial antenna (IN FROM ANTENNA) and satellite
dish antenna (SATELLITE IN) input connections.
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
Audio/Video jacks and cables output stereo sound and a
better TV picture than the RF jacks and cables. Use these
jacks and cables to connect your receiver to your TV or
to other components such as a stereo receiver or amplifier.
The audio/video jacks found on the back of the receiver
and the audio/video cable connectors are color coded
(yellow for video, red for right audio and white for left
audio). If your TV set only has one audio input, connect
it to the red (right) audio cable connector.
Telephone Jack and Cord
DIRECTV requires your Multi-Satellite Receiver to be
connected to a telephone line. Use the TEL LINE jack and
the included telephone cord to complete this connection.
If your home does not have RJ-11 type phone jacks,
please contact your phone company to get one installed.
Please note that periodically, purchase information is sent from the
Multi-Satellite Receiver via your telephone line to a toll free 1-800 number.
These calls are typically made in the middle of the night; your phone is in use
for approximately 30 seconds.
