How do set this up to use a financial calculator to solve this problem?

To solve I believe you need to calculate the present value (PV) of the payments for each year and combine, then add $1M and solve for PV. I'm having trouble calculating PV after year 1

Please advise using the buttons: N, I, PMT, PV

year 1 : n=1, I=11, PMT=1.2, solve for PV [PV = 2187847.87]

A baseball player is offered a 5-year contract which pays him the following amounts:

Year 1: $1.2 million

Year 2: $1.6 million

Year 3: $2.0 million

Year 4: $2.4 million

Year 5: $2.8 million

Under the terms of the agreement all payments are made at the end of each year.

Instead of accepting the contract, the player asks his agent to negotiate a contract which has a present value of $1 million MORE than that which has been offered. Moreover, the player wants to receive his payments in the form of a 5-year annuity (payments at the end of the year). All cash flows are discounted at 10%. If the team were to agree to the player's terms, what would be the player's annual salary?
