Choose Your Setup
Th ere are several ways to connect your receiver to match your particular equipment setup and to gain
optimum signal quality. Th e basic steps are as follows:
• Connect the satellite dish cable to your receiver.
• Connect the receiver audio and video to your TV or VCR.
• If you connected the receiver to a VCR, connect the VCR to your TV.
• Connect the receiver to a telephone line.
• Plug in all power cords.
Th e following pages give detailed instructions on the types of connections you can make, depending on the
equipment you have, in order to get the best picture and sound quality. Note that the back panels of your
TV and other equipment may not exactly match those illustrated.
Connecting Your DIRECTV Plus DVR to the Satellite Dish
Connect the RG-6 RF coaxial cable(s) from your satellite dish to the jack(s) labeled SATELLITE IN on the
DIRECTV Plus DVR. Note that in order to take full advantage of your DIRECTV Plus DVR's features,
you should connect a coaxial cable to each of the two SATELLITE IN connectors.
Important
To obtain optimum picture quality, make sure the receiver is connected directly to the TV. Connecting the receiver to the TV
through a VCR or DVD recorder is known to yield less than optimum picture quality, particularly when viewing copy-protected
programming.
