Chapter 3: Setting up and connecting

9Set the RESOLUTION switch to the highest resolution supported by your TV. (See Chapter 1 for information on resolutions. See your TV owner’s manual for information on your TV’s capabilities.)

If you connect your TV to one of the composite video out jacks (Video Out, S- Video Out, or TV Out), and you view a high-definition program with the DIRECTV® High-Definition Receiver’s RESOLUTION switch set to either 720p or 1080i, the picture will be slightly cropped at the top and bottom (the very top and bottom edges of the image will not appear on the TV screen). To avoid this problem, set the RESOLUTION switch to the 480p/i position if your TV is connected to one of the composite video outputs.

10If you connected your TV using RGB or DVI/HDCP output, set the switch to the left (DVI, RGB). If you connected your TV using the Component output, set the switch to the right (YPbPr).

11If you connected your TV or VCR to the TV OUT RF jack, set the CH3/4 switch to determine the channel used to view DIRECTV® programming. The position of the CH 3/4 switch on your DIRECTV HD Receiver should match the setting of the similar CH 3/4 switch on your VCR.

12(Optional) follow the instructions on the next page if you have a VCR and want to hook up the VCR control.

13Plug in the power cords for your TV, A/V receiver, and DIRECTV HD Receiver.

DVI/HDCP OUT

Setting your TV input switch

To view any of the programming from your DIRECTV HD Receiver (satellite, cable, or off-air), set your TV to display the input from the video input jack you used to connect the DIRECTV HD Receiver. (This is a setting on your TV usually controlled by a Video, Input, or Mode button. See your TV manual for help.) Also, if necessary, set your A/V receiver to play the audio from the audio input jack you used to make the audio connection. See your A/V receiver manual for help.
