Making the Audio Connections

Best: If you connected your DIRECTV HD Receiver to your TV with HDMI cables you do not need to make a separate audio connection, unless you would like to use other audio outputs; for example, if you want to connect your DIRECTV HD Receiver to a stereo or home theater system. Note: HDMI cable is not included with the DIRECTV HD Receiver.

Best 2: You may also receive digtal audio by connecting an Optical Audio cable from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on your DIRECTV HD Receiver to a DIGITAL AUDIO IN (OPTICAL) jack on your TV. This output can also be used if you wish to listen to audio on a stereo or home theater system, even if you are already using an HDMI cable for audio on your TV. Note: Optical Audio cable is not included with the DIRECTV HD Receiver.

Good: For analog audio, connect the white (L) and red (R) RCA-type cables from the DIRECTV HD Receiver to your TV.

Note

If you used an HDMI cable to hook up video, you can skip this section.

If your TV only has one audio input jack use AUDIO L (white) jack on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver to make
