Cables & Connections
Best Video: S-Video Jack and Cable
S-Video jacks and cables provide the best picture quality. You will still need to connect the left and
right audio cables to the TV, or optical audio cable to your stereo, because the S-Video cable only
carries the picture signal, not sound.
Audio/Video (A/V) Jack and Cable
Audio/Video (A/V) cables provide very good picture quality and stereo sound, and should be used if
your TV does not have S-Video jacks. The DIRECTV Receiver’s A/V jacks are color coded (yellow for
video, red for right audio and white for left audio). If your TV has only one input for audio (mono),
connect it to the left (white) audio jack on the DIRECTV Receiver.
RF Jack and Coaxial Cable (F-type)
RF jacks and coaxial cables provide good picture and mono sound quality. They should be used if
A/V connections are not available on your TV. RF jacks are used to connect to your TV and satellite
dish, off-air antenna and cable feed connections. The RF
jacks on the receiver are labeled SATELLITE
IN, OFF-AIR IN and OUT TO TV. Note: Be sure to use RG-6 coaxial cable when connecting from
the satellite dish to the DIRECTV Receiver.
