Note
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.
Making the Audio Connections
• Best: If you connected your DIRECTV HD Receiver 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 HD Receiver to a stereo or home theater system. Note: HDMI
cable is not included with the DIRECTV HD Receiver.
• Best 2: You may also receive digtal audio by connecting an Optical Audio cable from the DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on your DIRECTV HD Receiver to a DIGITAL AUDIO IN
(OPTICAL) jack on your TV. is 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 HD Receiver.
• Good: For analog audio, connect the white (L) and red (R) RCA-type cables from the DIRECTV
HD Receiver to your TV.
