DIRECTV Plus® DVR - User Guide Audio/Video (A/V) Jack and Cable Audio/Video (A/V) cables provide very good picture quality and stereo sound, and should be used if your TV does not have S-Video jacks. The DIRECTV Plus DVR's A/V jacks are color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio and white for left audio). If your TV has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white) audio jack on the DIRECTV Plus DVR. Best Audio: Digital Audio Optical Jack and Cable The Digital Audio Optical cable provides the best quality audio. The jack and cable use light to send digital audio data to A/V receivers equipped to receive and interpret it. The jack and cable (cable not included) must be aligned before plugging in, and may be covered by protective caps, which must be removed before making connections. RF Jack and Coaxial Cable (F-type) RF jacks and coaxial cables provide good picture and mono sound quality. They should be used if A/V connections are not available on your TV. RF jacks are used to connect to your TV and satellite dish, off-air antenna and cable feed connections. The RF jacks on the receiver are labeled SATELLITE IN, OFF-AIR IN and OUT TO TV. Note: Be sure to use RG-6 coaxial cable when connecting from the satellite dish to the DIRECTV Plus DVR. Telephone Jack and Cord The telephone line cord is required to connect your DIRECTV Plus DVR to a land-based telephone line if you choose to subscribe to DIRECTV programming. The phone line connection is used to periodically call DIRECTV. You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack (the most common type of phone jack). Note: Do not connect your receiver to a digital PBX phone system - doing so may permanently damage your equipment and void your warranty.
