The rear of the digital satellite receiver.

The rear of the digital satellite receiver has numerous jacks for connection to your audio/video entertainment system. You will also find the power cord permanently connected to the back.

Note: Model HIRD-E1 does not provide the upper row of audio and video jacks, the VCR CONTROL or the RF REMOTE.

The SATELLITE IN F-type jack is for connecting the cable from your satellite dish antenna to the digital satellite receiver. Be sure that you use RG-6 cable only.

The IN FROM ANT F-type jack is an input where you can connect the cable from an RF terrestrial source such as an off-air antenna or cable TV service. This is not where you should connect the cable from the satellite dish!

The OUT TO TV F-type jack is an RF output which you may connect to your TV or VCR (depending on your entertainment system). Note that the CH3/CH4 switch on the upper left enables you to select the channel for your TV on which the DIRECTV PLUS System programming appears.

The phono-type AUDIO output jacks, labeled and color coded (L is white, R is red) to indicate left and right, can be used for connection to your TV, VCR, or audio system. The phono-type composite VIDEO output jack is color-coded yellow. You may use this jack for connection to your TV or VCR.

The multiple-pin S-VIDEOjack to achieve the clearest Hi8 VCRs support S-video

jack is for high-quality output of DIRECTV PLUS System video. Use this picture for your TV or VCR. Only newer high-end TVs, SVHS VCRs and connections.

The standard RJ-11 modular PHONE JACK is for connecting the digital satellite receiver to your phone line. This phone connection is necessary to access certain program offerings from DIRECTV. Any calls generated by the digital satellite receiver are toll free. The telephone line connection will not normally interfere with your telephone operation. The digital satellite receiver will, however, call a toll-free number briefly to report any purchased pay per view programs.

The VCR CONTROL mini-jack, found only on model HIRD-E2 receivers, is for connecting the VCR control cable included with the system. With this cable, the digital satellite receiver can interface with most popular brands of VCRs to record selected programs automatically.

The RF REMOTE jack is for future accessories.
