Guided Setup & Activation
Now that your receiver and equipment are all hooked up and plugged in, you’re ready to
fi nish all the details to begin receiving your DIRECTV service.
1) Make sure the MODE SWITCH on the remote control is set to DIRECTV.
2) Press TV POWER ON. e DIRECTV Plus DVR will turn on.
3) e fi rst screen will allow you to select a language. Using the arrow keys on the remote control, move
to the language you prefer and press SELECT.
4) You will see a Welcome screen.
Now, let us lead the way…
Simply follow the onscreen directions to complete your setup functions. If you’ve installed your satellite
dish and system yourself, you’ll be guided though various functions for optimizing your signal and setup —
including positioning your dish and a system test. If, like most people, you had your system professionally
installed, these functions already have been completed.
After these setup procedures are complete, you’ll see the Satellite Data Acquisition screen, as the receiver
gathers information from the satellite for the onscreen program guide.
Next, you’ll be given the opportunity to set up your phone connection, as well as program your remote to
control other equipment such as your TV and/or DVD player. Just follow the screen instructions and you’ll
be ready to watch in no time!
You may decide to set
up, change or adjust
some of the settings
later. When you’re
ready, press MENU
on your remote, press
SELECT on Settings
then select Setup.
