Getting Started

TIP

To switch between watching your VCR and watching video from your receiver, you may need to program the INPUT key on your DIRECTV remote. (See page 20 for info.) Some TVs also have a MENU button that allows you to change the video source using an onscreen menu. If you have trouble changing the video source, refer to the instructions that came with your TV.

RF Coaxial Connection (Good Quality)

Using an RF coaxial cable, connect one end to the OUT TO TV jack on the DIRECTV Receiver and the other end to the antenna in jack on the TV or VCR. If hooking up a VCR, use another RF coaxial cable to connect one end to the out to TV jack on the VCR and the other end to the antenna in jack on the TV.

Set the 3/4 switch on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver to the “blank” local channel for in your area. For example, if you have a local Channel 3 in your area, then move the 3/4 switch to Channel 4. If you have a local Channel 4, then set the switch to Channel 3. To watch DIRECTV programming, tune your TV to Channel 3 or 4 (depending on the position of the 3/4 switch in step 3 above).

Connecting Your DIRECTV Receiver to Your Telephone Line

Plug one end of the telephone cord into a phone jack on your wall (or into a phone splitter that is plugged into a phone jack) and the other end into the PHONE JACK on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver.

Completing the Connections

Plug all power cords into electrical sockets.

Note
