Humax D12 User Manual

The telephone line cord is required to connect your DIRECTV Receiver to a land-based telephone line 

if you choose to subscribe to DIRECTV    programming. The phone line connection is used to periodi-

cally call DIRECTV. You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack (the most common type of phone 

jack). Note: Do not connect your receiver to a digital PBX phone system — doing so may permanently 

damage your equipment and void your  warranty.

There are several ways to connect your receiver to match your particular equipment setup and to gain 

optimum signal quality. The basic steps are as follows:

 Connect the receiver audio and video to your TV or VCR.

 If you connected the receiver to a VCR, connect the VCR to your TV.

 Connect the receiver to a telephone line.

 Plug in all power cords.

The following pages give detailed instructions on the types of connections you can make, depending on 

the equipment you have, in order to get the best picture and sound quality. Note that the back panels 

of your TV and other equipment may not exactly match those illustrated.
