Safety & Care

Your DIRECTV® Receiver has been designed and manufactured to stringent quality and safety standards. You should, however, be aware of the following important precautions for safe and optimal use of the equipment. Improper use can result in potential electric shock, property damage or fire hazards.

Meaning of symbols printed on the rear panel of the product:

The “ bolt of lightning” indicates uninsulated material within your unit may cause an electrical shock. For the safety of everyone in your household, please do not remove product covering.

The “exclamation point” calls attention to features for which you should read the enclosed literature closely to prevent operating and maintenance problems.

Power Consumption: 12 V 1.5 A, 18 Watts

Important Safety Instructions

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

10) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

Safety & Care

11) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

12) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

13) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

• CAUTION: The DIRECTV® Receiver should not be used near water (for example, kitchen sink, bathtub, pool, damp basement). Also, never spill liquid on the DIRECTV® Receiver, and do not place vessels containing liquid on top of it.

• Ensure proper ventilation — the vent slots on the DIRECTV® Receiver must be left uncovered to allow proper airflow to the unit. Blocking the airflow to the unit could impair performance or damage your DIRECTV® Receiver and other components.

• Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DIRECTV® Receiver. Also, do not stack the DIRECTV® Receiver on top of a “hot component” such as an audio power amplifier.

• To avoid possible damage to the DIRECTV® Receiver or to a connected TV or component, all AC power cords must be plugged into properly wired outlets. As with all electrical products, connection to faulty or defective components, or the failure to connect the DIRECTV® Receiver to a properly wired outlet, may cause sparking, property damage or damage to any TV or other component connected to the DIRECTV® Receiver and pose a fire hazard. Failure to heed the Safety Information provided by failing to connect to a properly wired outlet may void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Safety & Care iii

Safety & Care

IMPORTANT: Be sure not to place your DIRECTV ®

Receiver near anything

WET or HOT!

• Protect your components from power surges by connecting all the components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet. Use of a surge protector is also recommended.

• Don’t overload power outlets or extension cords, which can result in the risk of fire or shock. It’s also important to use only the type of power source indicated on the marking label or in this manual.

• To prevent electrical shock, this apparatus shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing and fully inserted.

• Avoid audio hum or interference by inserting all cable plugs firmly into their jacks. Also, place

Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the sides of the TV back panel rather than down the middle once connected. Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from A/V cables as much as possible.

• Never insert objects of any kind into any openings in the DIRECTV® Receiver (other than the

DIRECTV® Access Card as detailed in this chapter).

• Place it on a flat, hard surface — do not operate the DIRECTV® Receiver on a carpet or other padded surface.

• Always unplug your DIRECTV® Receiver before moving it.

• Always unplug the DIRECTV® Receiver, TV and other equipment before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• To disconnect power from the unit, always remove its power supply unit from the AC mains supply

(rather than disconnect the 12 V cord from the unit). Therefore you must install your DIRECTV®

Receiver near to the wall AC outlet, which should be easily accessible.

iv

Safety & Care

Safety & Care

• CAUTION: Electric Shock — never attempt to disassemble the DIRECTV® Receiver yourself.

Always take the DIRECTV® Receiver to a qualified service person when repair is required. Opening or removing covers may expose dangerous voltage or other risks, and incorrect reassembly can cause shock when the DIRECTV® Receiver is subsequently used. Attempted self-repair may also void your warranty. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance

(by the warranty or by the manufacturer) could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

• Do not drop your DIRECTV® Receiver and always move it with care.

• Have your DIRECTV® Receiver professionally serviced (do not attempt to service it yourself).

• Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

• To ensure correct operation, use this DIRECTV® Receiver only with the DIRECTV®-approved power supply unit provided. If you use an unapproved alternative, you will invalidate the warranty.

• The model number, serial number and electrical rating of your DIRECTV® Receiver are on a label on its base.

For your information:

The identification sticker can be located underneath or on the back of your

DIRECTV® Receiver

Making the Right Connections

When you are ready to connect your DIRECTV® Receiver and your other components, whether you’re having your system professionally installed or handling it yourself, be sure to read over the following few pages to familiarize yourself with some important tips for safety and care.

Before You Begin

Your satellite dish antenna must be installed before you can begin following the procedures in this

User Guide. (Professional installation is highly recommended.) Your dish needs to be mounted in a position where it has access to the satellite signals, and RG-6 coaxial cables must be run into the room(s) where your DIRECTV® Receiver(s) will be located. If you choose to install the dish yourself, see the separate instruction manual that came with your satellite dish antenna.

Package Contents

The following items are included with your DIRECTV® Receiver:

4 A/V cables (mini DIN to RCA type) 4 Access card

4 User Guide

4 Remote Control & batteries

4 External power supply and power cord

Getting Started

TIP

To switch between watching your

VCR and watching video from your

DIRECTV ® Receiver, you may need to program the INPuT key on your

DIRECTV ® remote. (See page 19 for info.) Some TVs also have a MENu button that allows you to change the video source using an onscreen menu. If you have trouble changing the video source, refer to the instructions that came with your TV.

A/V Connection

Connect the 10-way DIN plug to the AV OUT jack on the back of the DIRECTV® Receiver.

If connecting directly to a TV, connect the white, red and yellow plugs on the other end of the A/V cable to the AUDIO L (white) and R (red) and VIDEO (yellow) A/V input jacks on your TV.

If hooking up a VCR, connect the white, red and yellow plugs on the other end of the A/V cable to the AUDIO L (white) and R (red) and VIDEO (yellow) A/V input jacks on your VCR.

Then, run an A/V cable from the VCR’s A/V output to the TV’s A/V inputs. This will allow you to watch videotapes.

Guided Setup & Activation

Now that your DIRECTV® Receiver and equipment are all hooked up and plugged in, you’re ready to finish all the details to begin receiving your DIRECTV® service.

1) Make sure the MODE SWITCH on the remote control is set to DIRECTV®.

2) Press POWER ON. The DIRECTV® Receiver will turn on.

3) The first screen will allow you to select a language. Using the arrow keys on the remote control, move to the language you prefer and press SELECT.

4) You will see a Welcome screen.

Now, let us lead the way…

Simply follow the onscreen directions to complete your setup functions. If you’ve installed your satellite dish and system yourself, you’ll be guided though various functions for optimizing your signal and setup — including positioning your dish and a system test. If, like most people, you had your system professionally installed, these functions have already been completed.


Important

In order to protect your TV screen from burn-in (a side-effect caused when a stationary image is displayed for too long), the DIRECTV ® Receiver interface automatically goes into screen saver mode, and displays a black screen with a moving logo when no key is pressed for 5 minutes or more while a stationary image is displayed on the TV. To dismiss the screen saver and return to what you were doing, press any key on the remote. Burn-in may cause permanent damage to your TV and DIRECTV ® is not liable for any damages that may be caused to your TV.

14

After these setup procedures are complete, you’ll see the Satellite Data Acquisition screen, as the

DIRECTV® Receiver gathers information from the satellite for the onscreen program guide.

Next, you’ll be given the opportunity to program your remote to control your TV set. Just follow the screen instructions and you’ll be ready to watch in no time!
