SETTING UP YOUR
DIRECTV PLUS
It is recommended that you have your DIRECTV PLUS System professionally installed. This is due to
safety issues, electrical codes, and assurance of a quality installation. If you should choose to perform
the installation yourself, please pay special attention to the precautions in the front of this
manual and refer to the chapter "Installing and Pointing Your Satellite Dish Antenna." You may
also want to obtain the Do-It-Yourself Installation Kit, sold separately.
This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for setting up your DIRECTV PLUS System and
connecting it to your television or entertainment system.
The carton includes the digital satellite receiver itself, an access card (already installed in the digital
satellite receiver behind the door), a remote control (batteries included), cables, and documentation.
Contact your dealer if anything is missing or damaged. Please save all packing materials until the
installation of your system is complete in case anything needs to be returned.
You now need to decide where you want to place the digital satellite receiver. Choose a location near
your TV where the power cord or cables will not be inadvertently disconnected. The location should
also be well ventilated. Do not set electronic components or other objects (including this manual) on
top of the digital satellite receiver or otherwise block its cooling vents.

to control the devices in your entertainment system.
