Chapter 3: Setting up and connecting
DVI jack and cable
Using the DVI jack and a digital DVI cable, your
®
DIRECTV High-Definition Receiver can provide the
unconverted digital signal from digital off-air, cable, or
®
DIRECTV programming directly to A/V devices that
are capable of decoding the digital video information.
The DVI jack uses HDCP content protection to allow
you to view HD programming that has been encoded
using the HDCP protection system. For the best access
to HD programming at the highest available resolution,
connect this to a HDTV that supports HDCP
technology. (This cable carries video only; use with
audio cables for the audio signal.)
RGB OUT jack and cable (cable not included)
Uses a computer-standard 15-pin VGA video
connection. Each main video color, Red, Green, and
Blue uses a separate pin; and other pins are used to
carry vertical and horizontal syncing signals. Using the
RGB OUT jack and an RGB cable, you can connect
your DIRECTV HD Receiver to devices equipped with
RGB input jacks (computer monitors, for example).
The RGB Out jack can carry any of the Digital TV and HDTV video resolutions.
(This cable carries video only; use with audio cables for the audio signal.)
Optical digital audio jack and cable (cable not included)
Optical digital jacks and cables use light to send digital
audio data to A/V receivers equipped to receive and
interpret this data. The jacks and cables must be aligned
before you plug in the cable. These jacks and cables may
also be covered by protective caps which you must
remove before making connections.
Coaxial digital audio jack and cable
Coaxial digital audio jacks and cables send digital audio
data to A/V receivers equipped with coaxial digital audio
input jacks.
VCR control jack and cable
The VCR control jack and cable allow your DIRECTV
HD Receiver to send signals to your VCR's remote
sensor, giving you the ability to program your VCR to
tape programs for you using simple on-screen controls.
