CHAPTER 1

Guided Setup & Activation

Now that your receiver and equipment are all hooked up and plugged in, you’re ready to

ﬁ nish all the details to begin receiving your DIRECTV service.

1) Make sure the MODE SWITCH on the remote control is set to DIRECTV.

2) Press TV POWER ON. The DIRECTV Plus Receiver will turn on.

3) The ﬁ rst screen will allow you to select a language. Using the arrow keys on the remote control,

move to the language you prefer and press SELECT.

4) You will see a Welcome screen.

Now, let us lead the way…

Simply follow the onscreen directions to complete your setup functions. If you’ve installed your

satellite dish and system yourself, you’ll be guided though various functions for optimizing your

signal and setup — including positioning your dish and a system test. If, like most people, you had

your system professionally installed, these functions already have been completed.

After these setup procedures are complete, you’ll see the Satellite Data Acquisition screen, as the

receiver gathers information from the satellite for the onscreen program guide.

Next, you’ll be given the opportunity to set up your phone connection, as well as program your

remote to control other equipment such as your TV and/or DVD player. Just follow the screen

instructions and you’ll be ready to watch in no time!

You may decide to set up,

change or adjust some of the

settings later. When you’re

ready, press MENU on your

remote, press SELECT on

Settings then select Setup.

TIP

Important

In order to protect your TV screen from burn-in (a side-effect caused when a stationary image is displayed for too long),

the DIRECTV Plus Receiver interface automatically goes into screen saver mode, and displays a black screen with a

moving logo when no key is pressed for 5 minutes or more while a stationary image is displayed on the TV. To dismiss

the screen saver and return to what you were doing, press any key on the remote. Burn-in may cause permanent

damage to your TV and DIRECTV is not liable for any damages that may be caused to your TV.
