A FIRST LOOK AT THE DIRECTV DIGITAL SATELLITE RECEIVER

The rear of the digital satellite receiver has numerous jacks for connection to your audio/video entertainment system. You will also find the power cord permanently connected to the back.

The SATELLITE IN F-type jack is for connecting the cable from your satellite dish antenna to the digital satellite receiver. Be sure that you use RG-6 cable only.

The IN FROM ANT F-type jack is an input where you can connect the cable from an RF terrestrial source such as an off-air antenna or cable TV service.

The OUT TO TV F-type jack is an RF output which you may connect to your TV or VCR (depending on your entertainment system). Note that the CH3/CH4 switch on the upper left enables you to select the channel for your TV on which the DIRECTV System programming appears.

The phono-type AUDIO output jacks, labeled and color coded (L is white, R is red) to indicate left and right, can be used for connection to your TV, VCR, or audio system. The phono-type composite VIDEO output jack is color-coded yellow. You may use this jack for connection to your TV or VCR. The multiple-pin S-VIDEOjack is for high-quality output of DIRECTV System video. Use this jack to achieve the clearest picture for your TV or VCR. Only newer high-end TVs, SVHS VCRs and Hi8 VCRs support S-video connections.

The standard RJ-11 modular PHONE JACK is for connecting the digital satellite receiver to your phone line. This phone connection is necessary to access certain program offerings from your service providers. The telephone line connection will not normally interfere with your telephone operation. The digital satellite receiver will, however, call a toll-free number briefly to report any pay per view programs that may have been purchased.

The Remote Control

The remote control can control your DIRECTV System and most TV brands, as well as many VCRs.

The remote control uses an invisible infrared light to send signals to your components when you press the keys. You must aim the remote control toward the component for it to receive the command.

The mode keys across the top of the remote control enable you to specify the device you intend to

control. This is important since many devices share the same keys, such as the key and the numeric keys. You must press the appropriate device key before pressing a command key to make sure the remote control sends the right signal to the right device. The only keys that deviate from the rule are the blue keys, as they are always associated with the digital satellite receiver.

The arch of keys immediately below the power and mode keys control frequently used, including

action (), information ( ), guide (), exit (), and favorite () keys.

The key is unique because it does nothing by itself. Pressing it displays the action icon in the upper left corner of your screen for a few seconds. During that time, other keys may be pressed to access special functions indicated in yellow above the keys. Each will be described later in this

manual. The following chart describes the key functions for easy reference:
