Connections & Setup

RF Coaxial Cable (F-type)

RF jacks provide good picture and mono sound quality. They should be used if A/V connections are not available on your TV. RF jacks are also used for off-air antenna and cable TV connections. The RF jacks on the receiver are labeled OFF AIR IN and OUT TO TV. Use a coaxial cable to connect the receiver to your TV/VCR’s antenna input jack.

 

Telephone Jack and Cord

 

The telephone line cord is required to connect your DIRECTV® 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 modular jack (the most common type of phone

�����

jack) which 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.

 

DIRECTV programming is subject to the terms and conditions of the DIRECTV Customer Agreement; a copy is provided at

 

DIRECTV.com and with your first bill. See page 12 for more information.

Choose Your Connection

There are several ways to connect your DIRECTV Receiver depending on the components you want to connect and the quality of the signal you want to achieve. The next three pages show three options for connecting your DIRECTV Receiver to your other components. Choose the connection that most closely matches your components in order to get the best video and audio quality you can. For example, if your TV has an S-Video input, use the Excellent Connection shown on the next page as a guide. If your TV only has an RF coaxial input, use the Basic Connection shown on page 8 as a guide.

Insert Your Access Card

In order to view DIRECTV programming, you need to insert the access card into your receiver. For some receivers, the card may already be inserted when you unpack the box.

1.The access card slot is behind a flip-down door on the right side of the front panel of the DIRECTV Receiver. To open this door, gently pull it out

and down from the indentation just below the right top corner.

2. Locate the access card slot.

3.Insert the access card. Make sure the side with the bar code is facing down, and the arrows on the top are pointing into the slot.

4.Close the flip-down door.

The access card should only be removed when replacing the card with a new one provided by DIRECTV or your program provider.
