5) COMPONENT OUT/ YPbPr (G, B, R) – Provides good HD picture quality, but not as good
as HDMI. YPbPr carries only picture information, not sound; use it along with a digital audio
connection or Audio Out (L/R white/red) jacks. (Note, some TV sets have component video inputs
that are non-HD. In this case, component video has the best available non-HD picture quality.)
6) AUDIO OUT (R and L) – Connect a second set of audio cables to another component, such as a
VCR or stereo.
7) DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAX) – Provides digital-quality audio signal. (Cable sold separately.)
8) S/PDIF DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) – Provides digital-quality audio signal. (Cable sold
separately.)
9) HDMI – Provides the best quality HD picture (better than YPbPr/component video). Th e HDMI
also provides audio, for a high-quality, "one-cable" solution. (Additional cables sold separately.)
10) ETHERNET– For future use.
11) PHONE LINE– Connects the DIRECTV HD Receiver to a telephone line. Th e DIRECTV
HD Receiver requires a land-based telephone line connection to communicate periodically with
DIRECTV.
12) POWER – Use to connect the power cord for your DIRECTV HD Receiver. We recommend
you use a surge protector to safeguard your DIRECTV HD Receiver from power spikes. Your
DIRECTV HD Receiver is rated to operate at 100-240V, with the appropriate power cord.
