5) S-VIDEO – Provides the best picture quality, better than VIDEO RCA-type or RF coaxial
cable jacks. If your TV has an S-Video jack, use it along with the audio jacks (S-Video only
carries picture information, not sound) to connect to your TV.
6) VIDEO (Yellow) – Provides better picture quality than the OUT TO TV jack. Connect the
second RCA-type composite VIDEO jack to another device, such as a VCR. You must also
connect the AUDIO cables when using the VIDEO connection.
7) AUDIO (R-Red and L-White) – Audio cables offer better sound quality than RF coaxial
cables. You can connect a second set of audio cables to another component, such as a VCR or
stereo.
8) USB PORT – For future use.
9) PHONE – Connects the DIRECTV Receiver to a telephone wall jack. We require a land-based
telephone connection to communicate periodically with your DIRECTV Receiver.
10) POWER – Connects the DIRECTV Receiver to an electrical outlet. We recommend you use
a surge protector to safeguard your DIRECTV Receiver from power spikes. Your DIRECTV
Receiver is rated to operate at 100-240V, with the appropriate power cord.
