Telephone jack and cord
The TEL LINE jack and the included telephone cord connect
your DIRECTV Receiver to a phone line. If your home does
not have RJ-11 type phone jacks, please contact your phone
company to get one installed.
A continuous land-based phone line connection is required for DIRECTV

subscriptions. Any calls generated by the
DIRECTV Receiver are toll-free. These calls are typically made in the middle of the
night; your phone is in use for approximately 30 seconds.
S-Video jack and cable (cable included with model SIR-S75 only)
S-Video cables and jacks are used to connect the DIRECTV
Receiver to TVs, VCRs, and other video equipment equipped
with S-Video input jacks. S-Video connections provide a high-
quality TV picture (better than RCA-type A/V jacks and cables).
Unlike the round RCA-type connectors, S-Video connectors
must be correctly aligned before you can plug in the cable. (This
cable carries the video signal only; use with A/V cables for the audio signal.)
Component video jacks and cables (cable not included, jack on model
SIR-S75 only)
The three-cable component video cables and jacks (also
referred to as “Y, Pb, Pr”) are used to connect the
DIRECTV Receiver to TVs, VCRs, A/V receivers and other
video equipment equipped with component video input
jacks. Component video connections provide a TV picture
superior to S-Video connections. (These cables carry the
video signal only; use with A/V cables for the audio signal.)
Optical digital audio jack and cable (cable not included, jack on model
SIR-S75 only)
Optical digital jacks and cables use light to send digital
audio data to A/V receivers equipped to receive and
interpret this data. The uniquely shaped connectors on
the jacks and cables must be aligned before you can
plug in the cable. (Note that the jacks and cables may
be covered by protective caps which you must remove
before making the connection.)
VCR control jack and cable (jack and cable included on SIR-S75 only)
The VCR control jack and cable allow your model SIR-S75
DIRECTV Receiver to send signals to your VCR’s remote
sensor, giving you the ability to program your VCR to tape
programs for you using simple on-screen controls.
