Page 12

Connect your TV Depending on your TV, you can connect it to the receiver in one of three ways:

S-Video cable (best picture quality) or

Video cable (very good picture quality) or

Coaxial cable (good picture quality)

In addition to your video connection, use a set of audio cables (L/R) to provide stereo sound. If your TV does not have audio jacks, you will hear monophonic audio. This is acceptable for the procedures described in the next section.

To connect your TV to the DIRECTV Receiver:

1.Select the appropriate connection: If your TV has an S-Video jack –

Use an S-Video cable (supplied with SAT-A65 only) to connect the DIRECTV Receiver’s S-VIDEOjack to the TV’s S-VIDEOjack.

Use audio cables to connect the DIRECTV Receiver’s AUDIO jacks to the TV’s AUDIO IN jacks.

If your TV has RCA-type A/V connectors –

Connect the DIRECTV Receiver’s AUDIO and VIDEO jacks to the TV’s A/V IN jacks.

If your TV has only one AUDIO IN jack, connect the receiver’s AUDIO L jack to the TV AUDIO IN jack.

If your TV only has an RF (coaxial) connector

Connect the DIRECTV Receiver’s VHF (SAT)/UHF OUT connector to the TV’s VHF/UHF IN or RF IN jack.

2.Connect one end of the telephone line cord provided into the DIRECTV Receiver’s PHONE JACK.
