Connections & Setup

6.Connect the audio from the DIRECTV® HD Receiver to your monitor.

Connect a pair of RCA-type cables to the AUDIO jacks on the back of your HD Receiver. Connect the other ends of the cables to the audio input jacks on the back of your TV, monitor (shown on the previous page) or audio receiver (not shown). Make sure you match the Left (white) output with the Left input and the Right (red) output with the Right input. See page 19 for instructions on how to connect a digital audio receiver to your HD Receiver.

7.If you used the OUT TO TV jack on the back of the HD Receiver to connect it to your TV, set the CH switch on the back of the HD Receiver to the channel you plan to use to watch HD Receiver programming (channel 3 or channel 4).

8.Set the RESOLUTION SELECT switch on the front panel.
