Telephone jack and cord
The TEL 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 Sports 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 (cable included with model SIR-S310W only)
S-Video cables and jacks are used to connect the DIRECTV
Receiver to TVs, VCRs, and other video equipment equipped with S-Video input jacks. S-Video connections provide a high- quality TV picture (better than RCA-type A/V jacks and cables). Unlike the round RCA-type connectors, S-Video connectors must be correctly aligned before you can plug in the cable. (This
cable carries the video signal only; use with A/V cables for the audio signal.)
Component video jacks and cables (cable not included, jack on model SIR-S310W only)
The three-cable component video cables and jacks (also referred to as “Y, Pb, Pr”) are used to connect the DIRECTV Receiver to TVs, VCRs, A/V receivers and other video equipment equipped with component video input jacks. Component video connections provide a TV picture superior to S-Video connections. (These cables carry the video signal only; use with A/V cables for the audio signal.)
Optical digital audio jack and cable (cable not included, jack on model SIR-S310W only)
Optical digital jacks and cables use light to send digital audio data to A/V receivers equipped to receive and interpret this data. The uniquely shaped connectors on the jacks and cables must be aligned before you can plug in the cable. (Note that the jacks and cables may be covered by protective caps which you must remove before making the connection.)
VCR control jack and cable (jack and cable included on SIR-S310W only)
The VCR control jack and cable allow your model SIR-S310W DIRECTV Receiver to send signals to your VCR’s remote sensor, giving you the ability to program your VCR to tape programs for you using simple on-screen controls.
