. The receiver includes a Digital Audio Out jack for compatibility with 

Dolby Digital audio. To use this feature, you will need an optical audio cable 

 

(not supplied), and a device that accepts Dolby Digital input. The optical audio cable will 
carry the audio signal. To complete the setup, you'll also need a connection for the video 
signal. You can use an S-Video cable to make the connection (for the best video signal), or 
the yellow ends of a composite cable. If you use a composite cable, you do not need to 
connect the red and white ends of the cable.

Ordinarily, your DVR produces tones to indicate when certain buttons on the remote 
control are pressed or to indicate signal strength when you are positioning your dish. If 
you use Digital Audio Out, you will not hear these tones.

This chapter provides detailed examples showing how to connect the DIRECTV DVR to 
your existing audio/video system. Choose the example closest to your configuration and 
follow the steps in that section.

• Example 3: DVR only (see page 16)

• Example 4: DVR with VCR, antenna or cable, multiple input TV (see page 18)

• Example 5: DVR with VCR, antenna or cable, single input TV (see page 20)

If you have trouble or if your configuration isn’t covered by one of these examples, see the 
“Back Panel Reference” on page 152.
