RF Coaxial Connection (Good Quality)

Receiver and the other end to the antenna in jack on the TV.
Set the 3/4 switch on the back of the DIRECTV Plus Receiver to the “blank” local channel for in
your area. For example, if you have a local Channel 3 in your area, then move the 3/4 switch to
Channel 4. If you have a local Channel 4, then set the switch to Channel 3. To watch DIRECTV
programming, tune your TV to Channel 3 or 4 (depending on the position of the 3/4 switch in
step 3 above).
Connecting Your DIRECTV Plus Receiver to Your Telephone Line
Plug one end of the telephone cord into a phone jack on your wall (or into a phone splitter that
is plugged into a phone jack) and the other end into the PHONE JACK on the back of the
DIRECTV Plus Receiver.
Completing the Connections
Plug all power cords into electrical sockets.
Now, turn to page 16 to learn about Guided Setup and Activation.
To switch between watching
your VCR and watching video
from your receiver, you may
need to program the INPUT key
on your DIRECTV Remote. (See
page 18 for info.) Some TVs also
have a MENU button that allows
you to change the video source
using an onscreen menu. If you
have trouble changing the video
source, refer to the instructions
that came with your TV.
TIP
Note
This connection can also be made using A/V cables if your VCR has A/V inputs. To connect using the A/V cables, connect the
audio L (white), R (red) and video (yellow) plugs from one end of the A/V cable to the AUDIO 1 L and R and VIDEO 1 jacks on
the back of the DIRECTV Plus Receiver. Connect the other end of the A/V cable to the corresponding jacks on your VCR.
