Setup and Connections
10
Back of the TV
The diagram below describes each of the back panel jacks found on the TV. When
connecting A/V cables, be sure to connect corresponding outputs and inputs (video to
video, right audio to right audio, etc.).
SATELLITE IN
Use to connect the satellite dish antenna to the TV.
ACCESS CARD
Insert the access card into the slot so your program provider can
identify you. Make sure the contacts on the access card are facing left and the top of
the card is facing right while inserting. (Refer to “New Access Card” in this manual’s
“Assistance” section for details.) The DIRECTV System requires a valid card.
PHONE JACK
Use to connect a phone line to the TV. The DIRECTV System requires
a continuous phone line connection to periodically call out to program providers.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
Use a digital optical cable (or SPDIF cable) to connect your TV
to a compatible Dolby Digital receiver or decoder. Dolby Digital offers theatre-
quality sound (six audio channels). You will not be able to use this jack and the LFE/
SUBWOOFER OUT simultaneously.
ANTENNA B IN
Use to connect an off-air or terrestrial antenna or cable TV signal
to the TV.
ANTENNA A IN
Use to connect a second off-air or terrestrial antenna or cable TV
signal to the TV.

You can also use the ANT B IN (or ANT A IN) for video games and switch between
the two inputs using the ANTENNA button on the remote control. When using TV
games, computers, and similar products with your TV, keep the contrast at a low
setting. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen for long periods of time
at a high contrast setting, the image can be permanently imprinted onto the picture
tubes. These types of imprints are not covered by your warranty because they are
the result of misuse.
