Digital Audio Outputs (Optical Jack and Cable)
e Digital Audio Optical cable provides the best quality audio. e jack and cable use light to send
digital audio data to A/V receivers equipped to receive and interpret it. e jack and cable (cable not
included) must be aligned before plugging in, and may be covered by protective caps, which must be
removed before making connections. Use caution when handling optical cables: ey are delicate!
S-Video Jack and Cable
S-Video jacks and cables provide the best non-HD picture quality. You will still need to connect the left
and right audio cables to the TV, or optical audio cable to your stereo, because the S-Video cable only
carries the picture signal, not sound.
Audio/Video (A/V) Jack and Cable
Audio/Video (A/V) cables provide very good picture quality and stereo sound, and should be used if
you don’t have HDMI, component or S-Video cables, or your TV does not have HDMI, component or
S-Video jacks. e DIRECTV Receiver’s A/V jacks are color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio
and white for left audio). If your TV has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white)
audio jack on the DIRECTV Receiver.
Telephone Jack and Cord
e telephone line cord connects your DIRECTV Receiver to a land-based telephone line. e phone
line connection is used to periodically call DIRECTV. is connection is required for sports package
subscriptions and for purchasing PPV movies and events. You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack
(the most common type of phone jack). Note: Do not connect your receiver to a digital PBX phone
system — doing so may permanently damage your equipment and void your warranty.
