Jacks and cables

The illustrations in this section show the various types of jacks and cables used to connect your DIRECTV® Receiver.

ANTENNA terminals (cable not included)

Use OFF-AIR IN terminals to receive a signal from VHF/UHF antennas or your cable system using an RG-6 coaxial cable. SATELLITE IN terminals can be used to connect Satellite dish input.

Connect the coaxial cable to the Antenna In jack on your TV and to the TV OUT jack.

Audio/Video out jacks and cables (RCA-type)

Use these jacks and cables to connect your receiver to a TV, VCR, or to other components such as a stereo receiver or amplifier. The Video out jacks provide a basic quality composite video signal using RCA-type cables. Audio jacks can be used to connect the DIRECTV® Receiver to an A/V receiver. The audio/video jacks

on the back of the receiver and the audio/video cable connectors are color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio).

Setting up and connecting

Telephone jack and cord

The Phone Line jack and the included telephone cord connect your DIRECTV® Receiver to a phone line. If your home does not have RJ-11 type phone jacks, please contact your phone company to get one installed. A continuous land-based phone line connection is required for DIRECTV® Pay Per View functionality and DIRECTV subscriptions. Any calls generated by the DIRECTV® Receiver are toll-free. These calls are typically made in the middle of the night; your phone is in use for approximately 30 seconds.

S-Video jack and cable

S-Video cables and jacks are used to connect to TVs, VCRs, and other video devices equipped with S-Video input jacks. S-Video connections provide a high-quality TV picture (better than RCA-type A/V jacks and cables). S-Video connectors must be correctly aligned before you can plug in the cable. Maximum resolution via this jack is 480i. (This cable carries the video signal only; use with audio cables for the audio signal.)
