Turning on the DIRECTV
®
High-Definition Receiver for
the first time
You have completed the connection steps and are ready to start using your
DIRECTV HD Receiver. The first step is to turn on the DIRECTV HD Receiver.
1
Turn on your TV and set it to display the signal from your DIRECTV HD
Receiver.
If you connected the DIRECTV HD Receiver to an RF-type input jack, you will
need to tune your TV to channel 3 or 4 (depending on how the CH 3/4 switch
on the back of the DIRECTV HD Receiver is set). If you have a VCR, the VCR
must be in TV mode or turned off.
If you connected the DIRECTV HD Receiver to video input jacks on your TV,
you will need to set your TV to display the input from these jacks. Usually this is
done by pressing a Video, Input, or Mode button on your TV’s remote control.
(See the manual for your TV if you need help.)
2
Press the POWER button on the DIRECTV HD Receiver’s remote control or on
the front of the DIRECTV HD Receiver.
Adjusting the satellite dish
If your DIRECTV HD Receiver is able to acquire the program guide and display TV
programs, your satellite dish is setup and working. You can skip ahead to the section
on Setting the dish type.
If your DIRECTV HD Receiver cannot acquire the program guide, and you intend to
watch DIRECTV
®
programming, you may need to adjust the way your satellite dish
is installed. To do this, first make sure your TV and DIRECTV HD Receiver are turned
on and connected to each other properly. Then follow the instructions below to use
your DIRECTV HD Receiver’s Menu system to set up your satellite dish.
The light on the front panel will
turn on.
If this is the first time you have
turned on your DIRECTV HD
Receiver, it will take a few moments
to acquire the program guide from
the satellite. During this process, the
Progress screen appears.
When the program guide has been
fully acquired, the Progress screen
clears and the TV screen is
displayed. You are ready to continue
setting up your DIRECTV System
