Connect Your Tv - DirecTV HAH-SA Owner's Manual

Connect your TV

The data port (HAH-SA only) is used
for diagnostic and aftermarket
service. Professional installations
using the data port must utilize a
good quality shielded cable to ensure
FCC compliance.
Depending on your TV, you can connect it to the receiver in one of four ways:
• Component (Y,Pb,Pr,-HAH-SA only) video cable (best picture quality) or
• S-Video cable (excellent picture quality) or
• Video cable (very good picture quality) or
• Coaxial cable (good picture quality)
You will also want to use a pair of audio cables (L/R) to provide stereo sound.
If your TV does not have standard A/V jacks, you will hear monophonic audio.
This is acceptable for the procedures described in the next section.
