HUGHES-BRAND DIRECTV SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL

Finishing Up

To achieve high quality sound from your digital satellite receiver through a stereo system, simply connect the AUDIO outputs (Left and Right) to an available input on your audio

system. This input may be labeled something like AUX, or, if you aren’t using a

compact disc player or laser disc player, you can use one of these inputs, if available. The only input that you should not use is one that is specified for a turntable/phonograph.

The phono-type audio cable and jack

You can mix and match the different hookups described above to suit your

entertainment system’s available connections. For example, you could connect the VCR using audio/video, while the TV is connected with the RF signal. Always try to achieve the highest quality and greatest flexibility available.

Once all connections have been completed, plug in the TV, VCR and digital satellite receiver to the wall outlet, appropriate extension cord, or surge protector. See Important Safety Instructions described in the front of this manual.

Note: If you have connected a VCR into your entertainment system in a way that routes the cables from your DIRECTV System to your VCR before the signal reaches the TV, you could experience a distorted picture if you attempt to record a copy-protected program. These programs are identified by a “Can’t Tape” symbol in the banner area of the screen. If this occurs, simply stop the recording process and your picture will automatically correct itself.

Installing Batteries in Your

Remote Control

Before you can use your remote control, you must install the supplied AA batteries. First, unsnap the battery cover from the back of the remote control. Install each fresh battery as shown, making sure that the + and - on each battery line up with the marks in the battery compartment. Next, snap the cover back onto the remote control.

Refer to “Programming Your Remote Control” for setting the codes to control the devices in your entertainment system.

Now You Can Turn It On

Once you have connected everything, you can turn everything on. Turn the TV on and set it to the digital satellite receiver channel (3 or 4) or input (video or S-video). Do the same for the VCR, if applicable. Now turn your digital satellite receiver on. You will see the start-up screen for several seconds, followed by a black screen with the message:

“Searching for satellite signal. To access related utilities, press .”

at the bottom of the screen. If so, this is good! If not, try pressing the key while the remote control is in SAT mode or check all of the connections.

You’re well on your way to enjoying your DIRECTV System.
