Getting Connected
TIP
To switch between watching
your VCR and watching video
from your receiver, you will
need to use the INPUT, SOURCE,
or TV/VIDEO button on your TV
or TV's remote control to change
the video source. Some TVs also
have a MENU button that allows
you to change the video source
using an on-screen menu. If you
have trouble changing the video
source refer to the instructions
that came with your TV.

Connecting Your DIRECTV Receiver and a VCR
to a TV with A/V Inputs
1) Connect the RG-6 RF coaxial cable from your satellite dish to the jack labeled
SATELLITE IN on the DIRECTV Receiver.
2) Using the A/V cable, connect the white, red and yellow plugs from one end of the A/V
cable to the AUDIO L (white) and R (red) and VIDEO (yellow) output jacks on the back
of the DIRECTV Receiver. Connect the other end of the A/V cable to the corresponding
input jacks on your TV.
3) Using another A/V cable, connect the white, red and yellow plugs from one end of the
A/V cable to the AUDIO L (white) and R (red) and VIDEO (yellow) output jacks on
the back of the DIRECTV Receiver. Connect the other end of the A/V cable to the
corresponding input jacks on your VCR.
4) Run another A/V cable from the VCR's A/V output to the TV's A/V inputs. This will
allow you to watch videotapes. NOTE: If your TV only has one set of A/V input jacks,
this connection also can be made by running a RF cable from the VCR's OUT TO TV
jack to the TV's ANTENNA IN input.
5) Plug one end of the telephone cord into a phone jack on your wall (or into a phone splitter
that is plugged into a phone jack) and the other end into the PHONE JACK on the back of
the DIRECTV Receiver.
6) Plug all power cords into electrical sockets.
Now you can turn to page 26 to learn about Guided Setup and Activation.
Note
If your TV only has one audio input jack use the AUDIO L (white) jack on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver to make the
connection.
