RF Coaxial Connection (Good Quality)

Using an RF coaxial cable, connect one end to the OUT TO TV jack on the DIRECTV Receiver and

the other end to the antenna in jack on the TV or VCR. If hooking up a VCR, use another RF coaxial

cable to connect one end to the out to TV jack on the VCR and the other end to the antenna in jack

on the TV.

Set the 3/4 switch on the back of the DIRECTV 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 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 Receiver.

Completing the Connections

Plug all power cords into electrical sockets.

Installation

Choose Your Setup

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 68

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

NOTE: The Good Quality 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 Receiver. Connect the other end of the A/V cable to
the corresponding jacks on your VCR.
