It is recommended that you have the satellite dish antenna professionally installed due to safety issues and electrical codes.

Note: If you should choose to install the dish antenna yourself, please pay special attention to the precautions in the front of this manual and refer to the installation instructions packaged with the satellite dish antenna. You can find information on using this HD receiver to point the dish antenna in Chapter 4, “Setting Up the Satellite Dish Antenna and Terrestrial Inputs.”

DANGER

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

You may also want to obtain the Do-It-Yourself Installation Kit, sold separately.

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for setting up your HD system and connecting it to your television or entertainment system.

The carton includes the HD receiver with DIRECTV PLUS™ receiver built-in, an access card (already installed in the HD receiver behind the door), an RF/IR remote control (batteries included), RF remote control receiver, cables, and the Owner’s Manual.

You now need to decide where you want to place the HD receiver. Choose a location near your TV where the power cord or cables will not be inadvertently disconnected.

CAUTION

Do not stack electronic com- ponents or other objects on top of the HD receiver. The

slots on top of the receiver must be left uncovered to allow proper airflow to the unit. Blocking the

airflow to the unit could impair performance or damage your receiver. Also do not stack the HD receiver on top of a “hot” compo- nent such as an audio power amplifier.
