Connections & Setup

This diagram illustrates each of the back panel jacks found on your DIRECTV Receiver. When working with cables, be sure 
to connect corresponding outputs and inputs (VIDEO output to VIDEO input, Right AUDIO output to Right AUDIO input, 
etc.). 

AUDIO (R and L)  Audio cables offer better sound quality than RF coaxial cables. You can connect a second set of audio 
cables to another component, such as a VCR or stereo. 
CH 3-4  If you're using the Basic Connection (described on pages 8-9), this switch allows you to set which channel (either 
3 or 4) you'd like to use on your TV to watch DIRECTV

®

 programming (try to use the one that's "empty" in your area).

LOW SPEED DATA  This port allows you to connect your DIRECTV Receiver to future services and accessories as they 
become available. A shielded cable and additional hardware may be required. 
OFF AIR IN  Connect a standard TV antenna or cable feed to the DIRECTV Receiver using this jack. The cable or off-air 
signal will pass through the DIRECTV Receiver when you turn the receiver off.
OUT TO TV  Connects the DIRECTV Receiver to your TV or VCR using RF coaxial cable. This jack provides the most basic 
connection, carrying average sound and video quality.
PHONE JACK  Connects the DIRECTV Receiver to a telephone line. The DIRECTV Receiver requires a telephone line 
connection to periodically communicate with your program provider.
SATELLITE IN  Use to connect the DIRECTV Receiver to the satellite dish antenna.
S-VIDEO  Provides better picture quality than VIDEO or RF coaxial cable jacks. If your TV has an S-Video jack, use it along 
with the audio jacks (S-Video only carries picture information, not sound) to connect to your TV. 
VIDEO  Provides better picture quality than the OUT TO TV jack. Connect the second VIDEO jack to another device, such 
as a VCR. You must also connect the AUDIO cables when using the VIDEO connection. 

Follow these steps whenever you need to install or change the batteries in your 
DIRECTV Receiver’s remote control. 

1.    Remove the cover from the battery compartment.
2.    Insert batteries in the battery compartment, matching the + and – end of each 

battery.

3.    Replace the cover.
