Make audio connections to your TV or A/V receiver.
Your DIRECTV
®
HD Receiver supports the following kinds of audio connections:
optical digital
coaxial digital
standard A/V audio jacks
Choose the highest quality connection that your TV (or A/V receiver, if you are using one)
supports (see your TV or A/V receiver owner’s manual for information). The optical and
coaxial digital audio outputs provide the highest quality audio (see Dolby Digital 5.1 in
Chapter 1). The standard A/V audio jacks provide the next best audio quality.
Whichever connection you choose, connect one end of the audio cable(s) to the appropriate
OUT jack(s) on the back of the DIRECTV
®
HD Receiver. Connect the other end of the audio
cable(s) to the audio input(s) on your TV.
NOTE
If you use the OPTICAL DIGITALAUDIO OUT jack, remove the protective plug from the jack
before making connections. RGB, Component, DVI and S-Video jacks do not output audio.
