Setting up your new DIRECTV System is much easier than assembling a train set or a bicycle. You should be watching satellite programming in a very short time!

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for setting up your DIRECTV System and connecting it to your television or entertainment system. As you are reading this now, it is assumed that you have already opened and unpacked the box.

The carton includes the digital satellite receiver itself, an access card (already installed in the digital satellite receiver behind the door), a remote control (two batteries included), cables, and this manual. Contact your dealer if anything is missing or damaged. Please save all packing materials until the installation of your system is complete in case anything needs to be returned.

You now need to decide where you want to place the digital satellite receiver. Choose a location near your TV where the power cord or cables will not be inadvertently disconnected. The location should also be well ventilated. Do not set electronic components or other objects (including this manual) on top of the digital satellite receiver or otherwise block its cooling vents.

It is recommended that you have your DIRECTV System professionally installed. This is due to safety issues, electrical codes, and assurance of a quality installation. If you should choose to perform the installation yourself, please pay special attention to the precautions in the front of this manual and refer to the chapter “Installing and Pointing Your Satellite Dish Antenna." You may also want to obtain the Do-It-Yourself Installation Kit, sold separately.

Installing Remote Control

Batteries

Before the remote control can be used, the supplied batteries need to be installed. 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.
