Getting Started 3
Connect your TV Depending on your TV, you can connect it to the receiver in one of four ways:
•Component (Y,Pb,Pr,-HAH-SA only) video cable (best picture quality) or
•S-Video cable (excellent picture quality) or
•Video cable (very good picture quality) or
•Coaxial cable (good picture quality)
You will also want to use a pair of audio cables (L/R) to provide stereo sound.
If your TV does not have standard A/V jacks, you will hear monophonic audio.
This is acceptable for the procedures described in the next section.
To connect your TV to the DIRECTV® Receiver:
1. Select the appropriate connection:
If your TV has component video jacks –
•Use a component video cable (not supplied) or supplied A/V cable to
connect the DIRECTV Receiver’s Y, PB, and PR output to the
corresponding TV input jacks.
•Use supplied A/V cable to connect the DIR ECTV Receiver’s AUDIO
(L/R) jacks to the TV’s AUDIO IN jacks.
If your TV has an S-Video jack –
•Use an S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect the DIRECTV
Receiver’s S-VIDEO jack to the TV’s S-VIDEO input jack.
•Use supplied A/V cable to connect the DIR ECTV Receiver’s AUDIO
(L/R) jacks to the TV’s AUDIO IN jacks.
If your TV has RCA-type A/V connectors –
•Use the supplied A/V cable to connect the DIRECTV Receiver’s
AUDIO and VIDEO jacks to the TV’s A/V IN jacks.
•If your TV has only one AUDIO IN jack, connect the receiver’s AUDIO
L jack to the TV AUDIO IN jack.
If your TV only has an RF (coaxial) connector –
•Connect the DIRECTV Receiver’s OUT TO TV connector to the TV’s
VHF/UHF IN or RF IN jack.
2. Connect one end of the telephone line cord provided into the DIRECTV
Receiver’s PHONE JACK.
3. Connect the other end into a modular telephone outlet.
4. Plug the TV into an electrical outlet.
5. Plug the DIRECTV Receiver power cord into an electrical outlet. If the
front panel Power indicator does not illuminate, press the POWER button.
The data port (HAH-SA only) is used
for diagnostic and aftermarket

using the data port must utilize a
good quality shielded cable to ensure
FCC compliance.
