Setup Examples - DirecTV R10 User Manual

Setup Examples

Before you begin, make sure that all of your equipment is turned off and your
DIRECTV ® DVR is unplugged.
Your equipment has connectors, or jacks, where cables can be connected. Some jacks are
labeled "In" and some are labeled "Out." Pictures and sounds enter audio/video (A/V)
equipment through IN jacks and leave through OUT jacks.
The remainder of this chapter provides detailed examples showing how to connect your
DVR to your existing home entertainment system. First, follow the steps in the Basic
Setup. Then, if you want to add additional devices, see the optional Setup Variations.
Basic Setup
• Connecting the DVR to your satellite dish and your TV. See page 10.
Setup Variations (optional)
• Variation 1: Adding an A/V receiver with Dolby Digital audio. See page 12.
• Variation 2: Adding a VCR. See page 14.
• Variation 3: Adding a second TV program source (antenna or cable). See page 16.
Connecting Other Devices. You may have other devices in your home entertainment
system, such as a DVD player or game console, which don't connect to your DVR. These
devices should be connected to additional inputs on your TV, or to an A/V receiver. Be
sure to consult your other devices' owner's manuals for setup information.
If you have trouble connecting equipment, or if your configuration isn't covered by one of
the setup examples in this chapter, see the "Back Panel Reference" on page 137.
