Definition High Definition refers to a new way of sending programming information over the airwaves and into your TV. There are two types of display formats available: one is ATSC format (originating from the Advanced Television Systems Committee). The other is NTSC format (named for the National Television Systems Committee). What makes your High Definition receiver special is that it has tuners capable of receiving three types of signals: analog (in NTSC format) and digital (in ATSC format), cable (in NTSC and ATSC formats), and digital satellite (coming from DIRECTV if you subscribe to DIRECTV® programming). With the advent of digital terrestrial broadcast, your HD receiver makes receiving all types of signals seamless. Below is an example of how you can receive the different types of signals. DIRECTV SATELLITE DIRECTV HD SATELLITE DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL ANTENNA ANALOG TERRESTRIAL ANTENNA TERRESTRIAL ANTENNA TOWER SENDING DIGITAL SIGNALS HD RECEIVER OR CABLE TV TOWER SENDING ANALOG SIGNALS SATELLITE DISH ANTENNA* TV, HIGH RESOLUTION MONITOR, OR HD DISPLAY MONITOR Getting Started Now that you have an understanding of what your HD receiver can do, read on to find necessary information about how to use it. The first section of this manual shows you how to connect components and speakers. The "Basic Operation" section describes how you receive the three signals and your viewing options: TV and DIRECTV. The rest of this manual describes how to use your HD receiver's many features, such as program guides, profiles, and system options. DIRECTV® programming is provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DIRECTV Customer Agreement, a copy of which is provided with your first DIRECTV billing statement. DIRECTV is a trademark of DIRECTV, Inc., a unit of Hughes Electronics Corp., and is used with permission. * The appearance of your satellite dish antenna may differ from that shown here. If your satellite dish antenna is round instead of oval, you can receive programming from only the DIRECTV satellite. 4 Setup and Connections Getting Started ThissectiontellsyouhowtogetyourHDreceiversetup andconnected.Itdescribesthecablesyouwillneed, explainsthefrontandbackpanels,andwalksyou throughthestepsneededtostartusingyourHD receiver. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Setup and connections Using the remote Basic Operation Using the Program Guides Audio Controls and timers Using the Profiles System Options and Preferences Getting Assistance Reference 5 Setup and Connections Step 1: Unpack the System Make sure to locate the remote control and the other cables that are included with your HD receiver.

Depending on the components you have, another connection may provide better picture and audio quality. The following sections provide cable and connection information to help you decide what connection is best for you. OK MENU CLEAR 1 4 7 INPUT 2 5 8 0 REVERSE PLAY 3 6 9 ANTENNA FORWARD RECORD STOP PAUSE Remote Control Things to Know Before Connecting Components Protect Your Components from Power Surges · · Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet. Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any cables. Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference · · · · Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks. Place the Audio/Video cables to the sides of the TV's back panel instead of straight down the middle after you connect your components. Try not to coil any twin-lead cables; keep them away from the Audio/Video cables as much as possible. Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the safety sheet packed with your unit. Protect Your Components from Overheating · · · · Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely. Do not stack components. Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand. Place an amplifier on the top shelf of the stand so that heated air rising from it will not flow around other components. 6 Setup and Connections Jacks and Cables Below is a description of the jacks and cables you can use to make connections. Note that not all cables come with your HD receiver. S-Video Jack and Cable The S-Video jack is available on this HD receiver and is used in conjunction with audio cables. Remember also to connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound. Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type) The Audio/Video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound quality. They are used for most Audio/Video connections between components. The Audio/ Video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/MONO) audio jack on the HD receiver. S-Video Jack Audio/Video Jacks RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type) The RF jacks are necessary for reception of off-air broadcasts, cable, and DIRECTV signals. These jacks are also required for antenna or cable connections. The RF and coaxial jacks on the HD receiver are labeled SATELLITE IN, ANTENNA A IN, ANTENNA B IN, and OUT TO TV. An RG-6 coaxial cable is required for all satellite signal distribution. RF Jack Optical Jack and Cables The optical cable and DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack are used for connecting a Dolby Digital receiver. If you own a Dolby Digital receiver that uses an optical cabletype input, use an optical cable to connect the HD receiver to that receiver. Digital Audio Out Jack Telephone Jack and Cord The telephone line cord is required to connect your HD receiver to a phone line. If you choose to subscribe to DIRECTV® programming, some services require this phone line connection. The phone line connection is used to periodically call out to DIRECTV. You will need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most common type of phone jack and might look like the one pictured here. If you don't have a modular jack, call your local telephone company to find out how to get one installed. Phone Jacks VCR Controller Jack and Cable The VCR controller cable plugs into a jack on the HD receiver's back panel. The other end of the cable affixes to your VCR's remote sensor.
