Standard Cables and Connections
Note that use of any of the connections listed below will not deliver an HDTV picture. If
you use the following connections, you will see a standard-definition TV picture.
S-Video Jack and Cable
S-Video jacks and cables provide the best picture quality among standard connections. You
will still need to connect the left and right audio cables to the TV because the S-Video cable
only carries the picture signal, not sound.
Audio/Video (A/V) Jack and Cable
Audio/Video (A/V) cables provide excellent picture quality and stereo sound, and should be
used if your TV does not have S-video jacks. The DIRECTV HD Receiver’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
HD Receiver.
