Example 3: DVR Only
1
Connect the coaxial RF cables from your satellite dish antenna to the DIRECTV DVR.
Connect one coaxial RF cable that comes from your satellite dish antenna to the jack
labeled “Satellite In 1” on the DVR. If you have a second coaxial RF cable from your
satellite dish antenna, connect it to the jack labeled “Satellite In 2.”
2
Connect the DVR to your TV. Look at the back of your TV and see what types of jacks
are available. Connect the DVR’s output to the TV’s input using the best connection
available. The example in the diagram shows a composite cable connected for audio and
an S-Video cable connected for video. The connection can also be made using only a RF
coaxial cable, or using only a composite cable.
3
Connect the phone line. (For more about the phone connection, see page 3.)
4
Insert the Access Card that came with your DVR. Open the card door on the DVR’s
front panel. Insert the card into the slot in the direction indicated on the card. Stop when
the card makes contact with the back of the slot, then you can completely close the card
door. To watch DIRECTV channels, you must insert the card correctly and activate it
(activation is covered in the next chapter).
5
Plug in all power cords. After you see the Welcome screen, skip to “Guided Setup” on
page 23. If you do not see the Welcome screen, see page 119.
