Overview
Now that you have finished connecting your DIRECTV  DVR, you are ready to begin
Guided Setup. When you first plug in the DVR, screens appear which display its progress
as it starts up. After a few minutes, you will see the Welcome screen, indicating that you
are ready to begin Guided Setup.
During Guided Setup, you will point your satellite dish antenna (if you haven’t already),
activate your DIRECTV
 programming and DVR service, and set up your DVR to access
service updates by phone. Guided Setup includes on-screen instructions. If you need
additional assistance, this chapter contains detailed directions.
Guided Setup includes three steps. They are described on pages 25-32.
1. Satellite Dish Guided Setup
2. Activating services
3. Phone Setup
Using the Remote Control
To complete Guided Setup, you use the remote control to move through screens and select
menu items that are on your television’s display. For an introduction to the remote control,
see “Introducing the Remote Control” on the inside front cover of this guide.
Welcome . When you first turn on your DIRECTV DVR, you will see a gray screen that
says “Welcome. Powering up,” followed by the Welcome screen (shown to the side).
Read the screen then press SELECT to move to the next screen.
If you do not see the Welcome screen, see page 119.
Satellite Dish Guided Setup is used
to test signal strength, position
the satellite dish antenna and configure
the DVR for use with a multiswitch or new
multi-satellite dish antenna.
If you have connected your
television or audio/visual
equipment only to the DVR’s digital audio
output, you will not hear any audio during
Setup, or at any time while you are
navigating through on-screen menus.
