Connections

For the best user experience and system performance we highly recommend that your system be professionally installed.
Call 1-800-DIRECTV to schedule an installation.

Your Phone Connection

Connecting your receiver to a land-based telephone line saves you money because it allows you to purchase DIRECTV Cinema™ movies
and Pay-Per-View events without calling DIRECTV to order. It is required for sports package subscriptions and is also used to enhance the
interactive features available on our interactive channels. The receiver uses a toll-free number once a month for a few minutes and is
designed not to interfere with your regular phone service. You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack (the most common type of phone jack).
If you disconnect the phone line, the receiver will not allow you to purchase PPV programs and some features of our interactive channels
will be limited. Do not connect your receiver to a digital PBX phone system — doing so may permanently damage your equipment and
void your warranty.

Connections for Auxiliary Equipment

The following instructions apply if you are upgrading to a new TV or adding a surround sound system, DVD player/burner or VCR some
time after your professional installation. Due to restrictions imposed by copyright holders, certain programming may include content
protection measures that may restrict viewing or recording with certain consumer electronics equipment attached to the receiver.
Please contact the manufacturer of such equipment for additional information.
Not all cables come with your digital satellite receiver; you may need to purchase additional cables depending on your setup.
Note:
Never connect an IN to an IN or an OUT to an OUT. All A/V jacks and inputs are
color coded. Always match the color of the plug to the same color of the jack.
