to your VCR's IR receiver (see Chapter 2 for more information).

professional installers. If you’re using the remote that was included with your TV, don’t plug
anything into this jack.

Receiver and your TV or VCR.

Using standard video cables, these jacks connect your DIRECTV HD Receiver to your TV
or VCR.

Using standard stereo audio cables, these jacks provide stereo audio
to your TV, VCR, or A/V receiver.
DIGITAL AUDIO (OPTICAL)
Using an optical digital audio cable, this jack allows you to
connect your HD Receiver to an A/V receiver that accepts optical digital audio input.
RGB OUT
Using an RGB monitor cable, this jack connects your HD Receiver to a TV that

that accepts the unconverted DVI signal from a high-definition digital broadcast (from satellite,
or antenna). This jack supports HDCP content protection. (For the best access to high-definition
programming, connect this output to the corresponding DVI/HDCP input that supports HDCP
technology on your HDTV Monitor.)
