Setup Examples
Example 3: Recorder Only
Connect the coaxial RF cables from your satellite dish antenna to the recorder. Connect
one coaxial RF cable that comes from your satellite dish antenna to the jack labeled
Satellite In 1on the recorder. If you have a second coaxial RF cable from your satellite
dish antenna, connect it to the jack labeled Satellite In 2.
Connect the recorder to your TV. Look at the back of your TV and see what types of
jacks are available. Connect the recorders output to the TVs input using the best
connection available. The example in the diagram shows a composite cable connected for
audio and an S-Video cable connected for video. The connection can also be made using
only a RF coaxial cable, or using only a composite cable.
Connect the phone line. (For more about the phone connection, see page 3.)
Insert the Access Card that came with your recorder. Open the card door on the
recorders front panel. Insert the card into the slot in the direction indicated on the card.
Stop when the card makes contact with the back of the slot, then you can completely close
the card door. To watch DIRECTV® channels, you must insert the card correctly and
activate it (activation is covered in the next chapter).
Plug in all power cords. After you see the Welcome screen, skip to Guided Setupon
page 23. If you do not see the Welcome screen, see page 119.
