Cables & Connections

HDMI Jack and Cable

The DIRECTV HD Receiver incorporates HDMI™ [or High-Deﬁ nition Multimedia Interface] technology. HDMI oﬀers a high-quality connection that combines the video and audio signal into a single cable.

The HDMI jack uses HDCP content protection to allow you to view HD programming that has been encoded using the HDCP protection system. For the best access to HD programming at the highest available resolution, connect this to an HDTV that supports HDCP technology.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is an older digital connection standard that has been replaced by HDMI and is compatible with HDMI. DVI carries video only. You can also use an HDMI to DVI converter (not included), which also carries video only, so must be used with audio cables to receive the audio signal.

Component Video Output (YPbPr)

The component connector provides high-quality video for your HDTV system. Component video is also referred to as “YPbPr.” It uses three separate cables—with connectors colored green, red and blue—one for each component of the HD video signal.
