Digital Audio Outputs (Optical Jack and Cable)

The Digital Audio Optical cable provides the best quality audio. The jack and cable use light to send digital audio data to A/V receivers equipped to receive and interpret it. The jack and cable (cable not included) must be aligned before plugging in, and may be covered by protective caps, which must be removed before making connections. Use caution when handling optical cables: They are delicate!

S-Video Jack and Cable

S-Video jacks and cables provide the best non-HD 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 you don’t have HDMI, component or S-Video cables, or your TV does not have HDMI, component or 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.

Telephone Jack and Cord

The telephone line cord connects your DIRECTV Receiver to a land-based telephone line. The phone line connection is used to periodically call DIRECTV. This connection is required for sports package subscriptions and for purchasing PPV movies and events. You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack

60(the most common type of phone jack). Note: Do not connect your receiver to a digital PBX phone system — doing so may permanently damage your equipment and void your warranty.
