Making the Right Connections
Are you ready to connect your DIRECTV Plus
®
Receiver and your other components?
Whether you’re having your system professionally installed or handling it yourself, be sure to read
over the following few pages to familiarize yourself with some important tips for safety and care.
Before you begin
Your satellite dish antenna must be installed before you can begin following the procedures in this
User Guide. (Professional installation is highly recommended.) Your dish needs to be mounted in
a position where it has access to the satellite signals, and RG-6 coaxial cables must be run into the
room(s) where your receiver(s) will be located. If you choose to install the dish yourself, see the
separate instruction manual that came with your satellite dish antenna.
