Making The Audio Connections - DirecTV HD DVR User Manual

Making the Audio Connections

• Best: If you connected your DIRECTV Plus HD DVR to your TV with HDMI cables you do not
need to make a separate audio connection, unless you would like to use other audio outputs; for
example, if you want to connect your DIRECTV Plus HD DVR to a stereo or home theater system.
Note: HDMI cable is not included with the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR.
• Best 2: You may also receive digital audio by connecting an Optical Audio cable from the DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on your DIRECTV Plus HD DVR to a DIGITAL AUDIO IN
(OPTICAL) jack on your TV. This output can also be used if you wish to listen to audio on a stereo
or home theater system, even if you are already using an HDMI cable for audio on your TV. Note:
Optical Audio cable is not included with the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR.
• Good: For analog audio, connect the white (L) and red (R) RCA-type cables from the DIRECTV
Plus HD DVR to your TV.
Note
If your TV only has one audio input jack use AUDIO L (white) jack on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver to make the
70
connection.
If you used an
HDMI cable to
hook up video,
you can skip this
