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 receiver carton includes the receiver itself, an Access Card (already installed in the receiver behind the door), a remote control with two AA batteries, cables, and this manual. Contact your dealer if any part is missing or damaged.

You now need to decide where you want to place your digital satellite receiver. Avoid installing the receiver in a location where the power cord or cables could be inadvertently disconnected. Obviously, choose a place near your TV that is well ventilated. Do not set electronic components or other objects (including this manual) on top of the receiver or otherwise block its cooling vents.

It is recommended that you have your dish 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." You may also want to

obtain the Do-It-Yourself Installation Kit, sold separately.

There are a number of ways to connect your digital satellite receiver, depending on the other audio/video equipment you wish to use. We will explain the simplest hookups.
