Making the Basic Connections
1) Connect DIRECTV HD Receiver to Satellite Dish. Connect the RG-6 RF coaxial cable from
your satellite dish to the jack labeled SATELLITE IN on the DIRECTV Receiver.
2) Connect Off -air antenna to DIRECTV HD Receiver (optional). Connect the off -air antenna to
the jack labeled OFF-AIR IN on your receiver. When you go through the Guided Setup process, be
sure to select the Satellite & Antenna button when you reach the Satellite Dish & Off -Air Antenna
screen.
3) Connect RF remote antenna to DIRECTV HD Receiver. (Optional - RF equipment sold
separately.) If you want to use your remote without having to point it at the receiver (as in cases
when your receiver is behind the cabinet door of an entertainment center), you’ll need an RF remote
antenna and RF capable remote. Plug the RF remote antenna into the RF REMOTE ANTENNA
jack on your receiver. Receivers and remotes use IR functionality by default. You can activate RF
functionality during Guided Setup. After Guided Setup, you can activate RF functionality by going
to the System Setup screen and choosing REMOTE in the left menu. Select IR/RF Setup button and
follow the on screen instructions.
4) Connect DIRECTV HD Receiver to Telephone Line. Plug one end of the 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 Receiver.
5) Plug all power cords into electrical sockets.

done!
