Choose the Setup That Suits You

There are several ways to connect your receiver to match your particular equipment setup and to gain optimum signal quality. The following pages illustrate some of the most common setups. Keep in mind that the back panels of your TV and other equipment may not exactly match those illustrated.

Connecting Your DIRECTV HD Receiver to a TV with an HDMI Input

1)Connect your satellite dish antenna to the DIRECTV HD Receiver. Connect the RG-6 coaxial cable from your satellite dish to the jack labeled SATELLITE IN on the DIRECTV HD Receiver.

2)Connect the off-air antenna to the DIRECTV HD Receiver (optional). Connect the off-air antenna to the jack labeled OFF-AIR IN on your receiver. When you run the Guided Setup, be sure to select the Satellite & Antenna button when you reach the Satellite Dish & Off-Air Antenna screen.

3)Connect the video from the DIRECTV HD Receiver to your TV. Connect the HDMI cables to the HDMI jacks on the receiver and your TV. Note: HDMI cable is not included with HD Receiver.

4)Connect the audio from the HD Receiver to your TV. Connect the white (L) and red (R) RCA-type cables from the DIRECTV HD Receiver to your TV. Note: you can also connect either optical or coaxial audio cable from your receiver to your audio equipment if they support those formats.

5)Connect the DIRECTV HD Receiver to a land-based phone 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 HD Receiver.

6)Connect the RF remote antenna to the DIRECTV HD Receiver (optional). If you want to use your remote without having to point it at the receiver, such as from another room, or in a setup where objects are likely to block the beam from your remote to your DIRECTV HD Receiver (such as the receiver is in a cabinet with a door), then plug the RF remote antenna into the RF REMOTE ANTENNA jack on your receiver. Your receiver defaults to IR functionality. To activate RF functionality go to the System Setup screen, choose REMOTE in the left menu. Select IR/RF Setup button and follow the on screen instructions.

7)Plug all power cords into electrical outlets.
