APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE CONNECTIONS FOR AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT 142 If you upgrade your TV, get a new DIRECTV® Receiver, or add new equipment such as a surround sound system, DVD player or burner, or VCR, you have various options for connecting your equipment. All of the video and audio outputs on your receiver offer good quality.
APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT The table below shows the benefits and disadvantages of each type of available video connector: HDMI Component S-Video RCA High Def (HD) 4 4 6 6 HD 1080p 4 6 6 6 3D 4 6 6 6 Built-in Audio 4 6 6 6 Standard Def 4 4 4 4 HD Video Connections HDMI [High-Definition Multimedia Interface] provides the best digital video and digital audio in one connector.
APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT 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. DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE Digital Audio Coax provides high quality digital audio and is also found on newer surround sound and DVD equipment.
APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT HD TV CONNECTIONS Example: TV with HDMI Connector - RECOMMENDED Here is an example using a TV that has an HDMI connector as the best video/audio input. Note: Only an HDMI connection provides a 1080p picture and 3D TV.
APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT HD TV CONNECTIONS DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE Example: TV with Component Video Connectors 146 Here is an example using a TV that has component video connectors as the best video input. Note: A Component Video connection will not provide a 1080p picture nor 3D TV. Component Video requires a separate audio connection.
APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT SD TV CONNECTIONS (This connection does not provide an HD picture.) Example: TV with RCA Connectors Here is an example of a TV that has an S-Video connector as the best video input (Not all receivers have an S-Video connector.)

APPENDIX 2: CONNECTIONS TO TV & EQUIPMENT AUDIO CONNECTIONS Of all the video connections, only HDMI provides an audio signal with the video. The other connections all require a separate audio cable.

APPENDIX 5: ABOUT HIGH-DEFINITION SCREEN FORMAT & RESOLUTION DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE In addition to resolution and interlacing, a television picture is also defined by its aspect ratio—referring to the shape of the screen as defined by the ratio of the screen’s width to its height. 162 For analog TV, the aspect ratio is 4 units wide by 3 units high (4:3). This is the familiar shape of conventional TVs—slightly wider than they are tall. SDTV and EDTV pictures can be either 4:3 or 16:9.
APPENDIX 5: ABOUT HIGH-DEFINITION NOTE: * In Native mode, the receiver automatically adjusts the resolution to match individual TV programs as they are tuned. If Native is turned on, the FORMAT key cycles through Stretch, Letter and Crop for the current TV program’s native resolution. The FORMAT key allows you to easily cycle all resolution and format settings with a single key until the picture displays the way you like it.
APPENDIX 5: ABOUT HIGH-DEFINITION SUPPORTED RESOLUTIONS DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE The following table shows the resolutions that can be output from each type of connection: 164 Output Connection Available Resolutions HDMI 1080i, 1080p, 720p, 480i, 480p Component Video (YPbPr) 1080i, 720p, 480i, 480p S-Video 480i Video (RCA Type/Yellow) 480i NOTE: 720p, 1080i and 1080p are HD formats: 480i and 480p are not. S-Video and RCA outputs display all resolutions as 480i.
APPENDIX 5: ABOUT HIGH-DEFINITION WIDE-SCREEN VS. STANDARD FORMATS 4:3 TVs Showing 16:9 program For a standard 4:3 TV showing a wide screen program, the program is too wide to fit on the screen. To alleviate this, choose: Letterbox: With this format, the 16:9 image is shrunk until the entire width of the program fits on your TV.
APPENDIX 5: ABOUT HIGH-DEFINITION 16:9 TVs Showing 4:3 programs DIRECTV® HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE For a wide screen 16:9 TV showing a standard 4:3 TV program, the program is too tall to fit the screen. Your choices here include: 166 Pillar Box: Here the 4:3 image is shrunk until the entire height of the program fits on your TV. Since the aspect ratio is maintained, the image is no longer wide enough to fill the screen, so gray or black bars are seen at the left and right edges.
