3-3. General Recommendations
You can connect the DIRECTV ® HD Receiver in a variety of configurations. The answers to the follow-
ing questions will determine the correct setup for you.
- What type of antennas do you have? Satellite dish, cable, and/or over-the-air antennas.
- What type of connectors does your TV or VCR have: Y/Pb/Pr, RGB, DVI-HDTV, S-VIDEO, A/V (RCA-
type), or RF coaxial?
- Do you have an external audio or audio/video system? Consider integrating the DIRECTV HD
Receiver into a home theater configuration to take advantage of the audio capabilities of your Dolby
Digital ® System (Digital) or Hi-Fi System (Analog).
- Does your TV have Y/Pb/Pr connectors? Use it to connect your TV to the DIRECTV HD Receiver. An
Y/Pb/Pr connection provides a better picture than S-VIDEO, RCA-type video, or RF connections.
- Does your TV have an S-VIDEO jack? Use it to connect your TV to the DIRECTV HD Receiver.
An S-VIDEO connection provides a better picture than RCA-type video or RF connections.
- Does your TV have RCA-type A/V connectors, but no S-video jack? Use your TV’s A/V connectors to
connect your components. An A/V connection provides better picture and audio when compared to
an RF connection.
Although there are numerous connections possible for optimum video and audio performance, try to fol-
low the guidelines listed below when you hook up your components. Detailed hook-up instructions are
provided on the following pages.
Protect your components from power
surges by turning off the component and
unplugging power cords when you make
connections.
Protect your component from overheat-
ing by keeping the ventilation holes
open and not stacking components.
