to your VCR's IR receiver (see Chapter 2 for more information).
S-VIDEO This jack connects your DIRECTV HD Receiver to a TV or VCR that accepts S-Video

Receiver and your TV or VCR.

programming, connect this output to the corresponding DVI/HDCP input that supports HDCP
technology on your HDTV Monitor.)
