Setup Options
On the back of your equipment you will find several jacks. Some are labeled IN and some
are labeled OUT. The pictures and sound enter a piece of equipment through cables
connected to IN jacks and leave through cables connected to OUT jacks.
When you connect your DIRECTV
®
HD DVR to your television and/or A/V receiver, you
are simply creating a path that starts at the satellite dish and goes in (through IN jacks) and
out (through OUT jacks) of your equipment until it reaches your TV.
This section provides detailed examples showing how to connect the HD DVR to your
existing audio/video system. These setup options show a complete high-definition system,
including a triple LNB multi-satellite dish, a standard antenna for off-air digital
broadcasts, and a high-definition TV. If you have a different type of satellite dish or TV,
you may not be able to view high-definition programs in high-definition format.
From the table below, choose the option that most closely matches the equipment you
have and follow the steps in that section.
You have a high-definition TV
and a home theater system or
A/V receiver.
Option A: Connect audio to your A/V
receiver, video to your HDTV
You have a high-definition TV,
but no home theater system or
A/V receiver.
Option B: Connect audio and video to
your HDTV (no A/V receiver)
Always connect cables from the
OUT jack of one device to the IN
jack of the next. Never connect an IN to
an IN or an OUT to an OUT.
