Audio Connections - DirecTV H25 User Manual

RCA output (composite video) provides good video and usually comes bundled with three cables for one video and two
audio channels.

Audio Connections

HDMI [High-Definition Multimedia Interface] provides the best digital video and audio in one connector.
Digital Audio Optical provides excellent quality digital audio and is often used on newer surround sound and DVD equipment.
Digital Audio Coax provides high quality digital audio and is also found on newer surround sound and DVD equipment.
RCA outputs provide good audio quality and are found on older auxiliary equipment.
There are so many makes and models of TVs and auxiliary equipment, it is impossible to fully describe all of the possible
connections between them and your receiver. Refer to the manuals for that equipment to see the connection options specific to
each make and model. The following images show examples of how your receiver may be connected, using the supported video
and audio connections for the TV, the surround sound, and the DVD player/burner or VCR. Several models of DIRECTV Receivers
are shown, giving you a variety of connection options to your TV and other equipment.
Example: TV with HDMI Connector
Here is an example using a TV that has an HDMI connector as the
best video/audio input and a surround sound system that has a
digital audio optical connector as the best audio input, connecting
to a DIRECTV HD Receiver.
This example also shows using a DVD burner with RCA audio and
component video connectors.
