TIP
S-Video & Digital Optical (or A/V Audio) Connection (Best Quality)
Using the S-Video cable, connect one end to the S-VIDEO output jack on the DIRECTV Plus
Receiver and the other end to the S-Video input jack on the TV.
If your TV has a Digital Optical input, connect it to your DIRECT Plus Receiver using a digital
optical cable. (Note: This cable is not included with your DIRECT Plus Receiver.)
Otherwise, using the A/V cable, connect the white and red plugs from one end of the A/V cable to
the AUDIO L (white) and R (red) jacks on the back of the DIRECTV Plus Receiver. Connect the
plugs from other end of the A/V cable to the corresponding audio input jacks on your TV or VCR.
Do not plug the video (yellow) into either the DIRECTV Plus Receiver or the TV.
If hooking up a VCR, use another A/V cable to connect the white and red plugs from one end of
the A/V cable to the audio L (white) and R (red) and video (yellow) Output jacks on the back of
the VCR. Connect the plugs from the other end of the A/V cable to the corresponding input jacks
on your TV. Then, use another A/V cable to connect the white and red plugs from one end of the
A/V cable to the AUDIO L (white) and R (red) and VIDEO (yellow) OUTPUT jacks on the back
of the DIRECTV Plus Receiver. Connect the plugs from other end of the A/V cable to the corre-
sponding input jacks on your VCR.
