27 Chapter 2: Setting up and connecting 28 Chapter 2: Setting up and connecting Chapter 2: Setting up and connecting Connecting the VCR control cable (model SIR-S310W only) The VCR control cable allows your model SIR-S310W DIRECTV Receiver to automatically program your VCR to record a TV program. By selecting a Record option from the on-screen Program Guide, you can direct the VCR control cable to flash signals to the VCR’s remote control sensor programming the VCR to tape a TV program for you. To connect the VCR control cable to your model SIR-S310W DIRECTV Receiver, follow these steps: 1 2 Plug the VCR control cable into the VCR CONTROL jack on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver. Remove the backing tape from the adhesive on the other end of the VCR control cable. Stick the VCR control onto the remote control sensor on your VCR. (See the manual for your VCR if you are not sure where its remote sensor is located.). DIRECTV Receiver VCR VCR controler Note: Before you can use the VCR control cable to program your VCR, you must set up the VCR control. See Setting up the VCR control in Chapter 4 for details. Turning on the DIRECTV Receiver for the first time You have completed the setup steps and are ready to start using your DIRECTV Receiver. The first step is to turn on the DIRECTV Receiver. 1 Turn on your TV and set it to display the signal from your DIRECTV Receiver. If you connected the DIRECTV Receiver to an RF-type input jack, you will need to tune your TV to channel 3 or 4 (depending on how the CH 3/4 switch on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver is set). If you have a VCR, the VCR must be in TV mode or turned off. 29 Chapter 2: Setting up and connecting Chapter 2: Setting up and connecting If you connected the DIRECTV Receiver to A/V input jacks on your TV, you will need to set your TV to display the input from these jacks. Usually this is done by pressing a Video, Input, or Mode button on your TV’s remote control. (See the manual for your TV if you need help.) 2 Press the POWER button on the DIRECTV Receiver’s remote control or on the front of the DIRECTV Receiver. The light on the front panel will turn on. If this is the first time you have turned on your DIRECTV Receiver, it will take a few moments to acquire the program guide from the satellite. During this process, the Progress screen appears. When the program guide has been fully acquired, the Progress screen clears and the TV screen is displayed. You are ready to continue setting up your DIRECTV System. Adjusting the satellite dish If your DIRECTV Receiver is able to acquire the program guide and display TV programs, your satellite dish is setup and working. You can skip ahead to the section on Activating your DIRECTV account at the end of this chapter. If your DIRECTV Receiver cannot acquire the program guide, you may need to adjust the way your satellite dish is installed. To do this, first make sure your TV and DIRECTV Receiver are turned on and connected to each other properly. Then follow the instructions below to use your DIRECTV Receiver’s Menu system to set up your satellite dish. The Installation option in the SETUP menu provides access to a variety of important setup controls. The first of these is the Set Dish menu. The Set Dish menu allows you to: • Acquire the exact azimuth, elevation, and tilt angles to help you point your dish accurately based on your ZIP code. • Check the setup of your satellite dish using an on-screen signal meter. • Set the dish type (to tell your DIRECTV Receiver what kind of satellite dish you are using). • Set your dish type automatically. The sections that follow detail each of these procedures. 30 Chapter 2: Setting up and connecting Chapter 2: Setting up and connecting Acquiring the correct dish pointing angles The Dish Pointing menu item in the Set Dish menu allows you to find out exactly how to point your satellite dish by entering your ZIP code. If you have not yet successfully aligned your satellite dish, or if you need to realign it, follow these instructions to find the exact angles you should use to point your dish: 1 Press the MENU button on your remote control. The Main menu appears. 2 Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the SETUP menu item, then press the button on your remote control.
