DIRECTV Plus Receiver Rear Panel
1) SATELLITE IN – (2 inputs) Use to connect the DIRECTV Plus Receiver to the satellite dish
antenna. Both inputs must be used to get the full range of DIRECTV Plus Receiver features.
2) RF REMOTE ANTENNA INPUT – For future use.
3) USB PORT – For future use.
4) OUT TO TV – Connects the DIRECTV Plus Receiver to your TV or VCR using RF coaxial
cable. This jack provides the most basic connection, carrying good sound and video quality.
5) S-VIDEO – Provides the best picture quality, better than VIDEO RCA-type or RF coaxial
cable jacks. If your TV has an S-Video jack, use it along with the audio jacks (S-Video only
carries picture information, not sound) to connect to your TV.
6) 3/4 CHANNEL SWITCH – Allows you to choose the channel that is not used in your area
(3 or 4) when the receiver is connected to TV using RF coaxial cable from the DIRECTV Plus
Receiver’s OUT TO TV.
7) OFF-AIR IN – Connect a standard TV antenna or cable feed to the DIRECTV Plus Receiver
using this jack, then connect the OUT TO TV to your TV’s antenna input. To watch from your
off-air antenna signal, turn off the DIRECTV Plus Receiver. Note that you will not be able to
record programs received off the air on your DIRECTV Plus Receiver.
8) DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL – Provides the best digital-quality audio signal.
9) VIDEO (Yellow) – Provides better picture quality than the OUT TO TV jack. Connect the
second RCA-type composite VIDEO jack to another device, such as a VCR. You must also
connect the AUDIO cables when using the VIDEO connection.
Your equipment may not look exactly like the model illustrated.
