COPYRIGHT LIMITATIONS: Copyright restrictions on some HD programming may prevent you from viewing high
definition programming in HD format with your DIRECTV HD Receiver. It is recommended that you connect both HD
and standard definition connections to your TV so you can view these programs in regular format if HD is restricted due
to program copyright.
Connecting your DIRECTV HD Receiver to an HDTV with YPbPr
Component Video and Digital Audio Inputs
1) Connect your satellite dish antenna to the DIRECTV HD Receiver. Connect the RG-6 coaxial
cable from your satellite dish to the jack labeled SATELLITE IN on the DIRECTV HD Receiver.
2) Connect the off-air antenna to the DIRECTV HD Receiver (optional). Connect the antenna to
the jack labeled OFF-AIR IN on your receiver. When you run the Guided Setup, be sure to select
the Satellite & Antenna button when you reach the Satellite Dish & Off-Air Antenna screen.
3) Connect the DIRECTV HD Receiver to your TV (video). Connect one end of the Component
video cables to the COMPONENT OUT video jacks on the DIRECTV HD Receiver. Connect
the other end of the component video cable to the component input on your TV, making sure to
correctly match the red, green and blue connectors.
4) Connect the audio from the HD Receiver to your TV. Connect the white (L) and red (R)
RCA-type cables from the DIRECTV HD Receiver to your TV. Note: you can also connect
either optical or coaxial audio cable from your receiver to your audio equipment if they support
those formats.
5) Connect the DIRECTV HD Receiver to a land-based phone line. Plug one end of a telephone
cord into a phone jack on your wall (or into a phone splitter that is plugged into a phone jack)
and the other end into the PHONE JACK on the back of the DIRECTV HD Receiver.
6) Connect the RF remote antenna to the DIRECTV HD Receiver (optional). If you want to use
your remote without having to point it at the receiver, such as from another room, or in a setup
where objects are likely to block the beam from your remote to your DIRECTV HD Receiver
(such as the receiver is in a cabinet with a door), then plug the RF remote antenna into the
RF REMOTE ANTENNA jack on your receiver. Your receiver defaults to IR functionality. To
activate RF functionality go to the System Setup screen, choose REMOTE in the menu on the
left. Select IR/RF setup button and follow the on screen instructions.
7) Plug all power cords into electrical outlets
