Making the Audio Connections
• Best: If you connected your DIRECTV Plus HD DVR to your TV with HDMI cables you do not
need to make a separate audio connection, unless you would like to use other audio outputs; for
example, if you want to connect your DIRECTV Plus HD DVR to a stereo or home theater system.
Note: HDMI cable is not included with the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR.
• Best 2: You may also receive digital audio by connecting an Optical Audio cable from the DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on your DIRECTV Plus HD DVR to a DIGITAL AUDIO IN
(OPTICAL) jack on your TV. This output can also be used if you wish to listen to audio on a stereo
or home theater system, even if you are already using an HDMI cable for audio on your TV. Note:
Optical Audio cable is not included with the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR.
• Good: For analog audio, connect the white (L) and red (R) RCA-type cables from the DIRECTV
Plus HD DVR to your TV.
If you used an
HDMI cable to
hook up video,
you can skip this
section.
If your TV only has one audio input jack use AUDIO L (white) jack on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver to make the
connection.
