Turning on the DIRECTV ® HD 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 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.
Characters will be displayed on the VFD in the front panel.
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.
Memorizing Channels
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.
