DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE
Audio Connections
HDMI [High-Definition Multimedia Interface] provides the best digital video and audio in one connector.
Digital Audio Optical provides excellent quality digital audio and is often used on newer surround sound and DVD equipment.
Digital Audio Coax provides high quality digital audio and is also found on newer surround sound and DVD equipment.
RCA outputs provide good audio quality and are found on older auxiliary equipment.
Because so many makes and models of TVs and auxiliary equipment are available, we cannot fully describe all of the possible
connections with your Receiver. Refer to the manuals for that equipment to see the connection options specific to each make
and model. The following images show examples of how your Receiver may be connected using the supported video and audio
connections for the TV, the surround sound, and the DVD player/burner. Several models of DIRECTV Receivers are shown, giving you
a variety of connection options to your TV and other equipment.
