ing questions will determine the correct setup for you.
- What type of antennas do you have? Satellite dish, cable, and/or over-the-air antennas.
- What type of connectors does your TV or VCR have: Y/Pb/Pr, RGB, DVI-HDTV, S-VIDEO, A/V (RCA-
type), or RF coaxial?

- Does your TV have Y/Pb/Pr connectors? Use it to connect your TV to the DIRECTV HD Receiver. An
Y/Pb/Pr connection provides a better picture than S-VIDEO, RCA-type video, or RF connections.
- Does your TV have an S-VIDEO jack? Use it to connect your TV to the DIRECTV HD Receiver.
An S-VIDEO connection provides a better picture than RCA-type video or RF connections.
- Does your TV have RCA-type A/V connectors, but no S-video jack? Use your TV's A/V connectors to
connect your components. An A/V connection provides better picture and audio when compared to
an RF connection.
