Satellite Dish Guided Setup is used to test signal strength, position

the satellite dish antenna and configure the DVR for use with a multiswitch or new multi-satellite dish antenna.

If you have connected your television or audio/visual

equipment only to the DVR’s digital audio output, you will not hear any audio during Setup, or at any time while you are navigating through on-screen menus.

Overview

Now that you have finished connecting your DIRECTV DVR, you are ready to begin Guided Setup. When you first plug in the DVR, screens appear which display its progress as it starts up. After a few minutes, you will see the Welcome screen, indicating that you are ready to begin Guided Setup.

During Guided Setup, you will point your satellite dish antenna (if you haven’t already), activate your DIRECTV programming and DVR service, and set up your DVR to access service updates by phone. Guided Setup includes on-screen instructions. If you need additional assistance, this chapter contains detailed directions.

Guided Setup includes three steps. They are described on pages 25-32.

1.Satellite Dish Guided Setup

2.Activating services

3.Phone Setup

Using the Remote Control

To complete Guided Setup, you use the remote control to move through screens and select menu items that are on your television’s display. For an introduction to the remote control, see “Introducing the Remote Control” on the inside front cover of this guide.

Welcome. When you first turn on your DIRECTV DVR, you will see a gray screen that says “Welcome. Powering up,” followed by the Welcome screen (shown to the side). Read the screen then press SELECT to move to the next screen.

If you do not see the Welcome screen, see page 119.
