Chapter 3: Setting up and connecting

9

Set the RESOLUTION switch to the highest resolution supported by your TV.

(See Chapter 1 for information on resolutions. See your TV owner’s manual for
information on your TV’s capabilities.)
If you connect your TV to one of the composite video out jacks (Video Out, S-
Video Out, or TV Out), and you view a high-definition program with the
DIRECTV

®

High-Definition Receiver’s RESOLUTION switch set to either 720p or

1080i, the picture will be slightly cropped at the top and bottom (the very top
and bottom edges of the image will not appear on the TV screen). To avoid this
problem, set the RESOLUTION switch to the 480p/i position if your TV is
connected to one of the composite video outputs.

10

If you connected your TV using RGB or DVI/HDCP output, set the switch to the
left (DVI, RGB). If you connected your TV using the Component output, set the
switch to the right (YPbPr).

11

If you connected your TV or VCR to the TV OUT RF jack, set the CH3/4 switch

to determine the channel used to view DIRECTV

®

programming. The position

of the CH 3/4 switch on your DIRECTV HD Receiver should match the setting

of the similar CH 3/4 switch on your VCR.

12

(Optional) follow the instructions on the next page if you have a VCR and

want to hook up the VCR control.

13

Plug in the power cords for your TV, A/V receiver, and DIRECTV HD Receiver.

Setting your TV input switch

To view any of the programming from your DIRECTV HD Receiver (satellite, cable,
or off-air), set your TV to display the input from the video input jack you used to
connect the DIRECTV HD Receiver. (This is a setting on your TV usually controlled
by a Video, Input, or Mode button. See your TV manual for help.) Also, if necessary,
set your A/V receiver to play the audio from the audio input jack you used to make
the audio connection. See your A/V receiver manual for help.
