Setting up and connecting

Inserting the Access Card

The next step is to insert your Access Card into your receiver. (You will not be able to view

DIRECTV

programming unless the Access Card is properly inserted into the DIRECTV

Receiver.) For some receivers, the card may already be inserted when you unpack the

box.

Locate the ACCESS CARD slot. The slot is located on the front of the DIRECTV

Receiver.

Insert the Access Card. Make sure the side with the bar code is facing down, and the arrow is

pointing away from you.

The Access Card should only be removed when replacing the card with a new one provided

by DIRECTV or your program provider.

Before making connections

The next step is to make the necessary connections. Before you begin, please note the

following important safety and setup tips.

Protect your components from power surges

Always turn off and unplug your DIRECTV

Receiver, TV, and any other components before connecting or disconnecting any of the

cables.

Position all cables correctly to avoid audio hum or interference

After connecting the components, please run the audio/video cables along the side of the TV set, rather than straight down the back

of the TV.

Make sure that all cables are plugged or screwed tightly into their jacks.

Please make sure that all antennas and cables are properly grounded.

Whenever possible, route audio and video cables away from power cords.

Protect your components from overheating

Do not block ventilation holes in the top of the DIRECTV

Receiver, or any other components. Make sure to position the components so

that air can circulate freely.

If you are positioning the components in a stand or rack, make sure to allow for proper ventilation.

Do not stack components.

If you have a stereo amplifier or receiver as a system component, please place it on the top shelf or top rack so that hot air rising from

it will not flow around other components.

Make strong connections

Make sure you securely connect cables when making connections. When a tight fit makes a secure connection difficult, you can

sometimes make it easier by gently twisting the cable-end while pushing it onto the jack. (Important: never twist S-Video — it has

specially shaped ends that must be correctly oriented before connecting.)
