Chapter 3: Setting up and connecting Turning on the DIRECTV® High-Definition 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 an RF-type input jack, you will need to tune your TV to channel 3 or 4 (depending on how the CH 3/4 switch on the back of the DIRECTV HD Receiver is set). If you have a VCR, the VCR must be in TV mode or turned off. 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. The light on the front panel will turn on. 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®. Adjusting the satellite dish 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. 28
