Chapter 3: Setting up and connecting

7Make audio connections to your TV or A/V receiver.

Your DIRECTV® High-Definition Receiver supports the following kinds of audio connections:

optical digital

coaxial digital

standard A/V audio jacks

RF

Choose the highest quality connection that your TV (or A/V receiver, if you are using one) supports (see your TV or A/V receiver owner’s manual for information). The optical and coaxial digital audio outputs provide the highest quality audio (see Dolby Digital 5.1 in Chapter 1). The standard A/V audio jacks provide the next best audio quality. The TV OUT RF jack provides a basic connection that carries both audio and video signals to your TV.

Whichever connection you choose, connect one end of the audio cable(s) to the appropriate OUT jack(s) on the back of the DIRECTV HD Receiver. Connect the other end of the audio cable(s) to the audio input(s) on your TV.

Note: If you use the OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack, remove the protective plug from the jack before making connections.

RGB, Component, DVI and S-Video jacks do not output audio.
