Setup and Connections
Step 1: Unpack the DIRECTV System
Make sure to locate the remote control.
Step 2: Connect Your Digital
Satellite Receiver to Your TV and
VCR
During the satellite dish antenna installation, the digital satellite
receiver may have been connected to your TV with just a coaxial cable
for the system test. Depending on what components you have, another
connection may provide better picture and audio quality. The following
sections provide cable and connection information to help you decide
what connection is best for you.
Things to Know Before Connecting
Components
Protect Your Components from Power Surges
•
Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the
wall outlet.
•
Always turn off the digital satellite receiver, TV and other
components before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum or
Interference
•
Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
•
Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV's back panel
instead of straight down the middle after you connect your
components.
•
Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from the
audio/video cables as much as possible.
•
Make sure all satellite dish antennas and cables are properly
grounded. Refer to the Safety sheet packed with your unit.
