Does it have audio input for Directv?

Yes, there is an optical input so you can directly connect the Directv box with the receiver to get audio. If your TV supports the Audio Return Channel (ARC), the HDMI cable connecting this surround sound system and the TV could also be used to hear the DirecTV audio. Also, if you have a Samsung smart TV, you can use the Anyconnect to hear your DirecTV audio. Hope this helps.

It has been a while since I had Directv, however l understand it uses HDMI output. If the set top box has optical audio out, simply connect to the optical in on the 5500. The 5500 has no "digital" input. If the set top has no optical out, you will need a Samsung TV with "Anynet" connectivity. From that an HDMI cable will run to the 5500, where audio and video will run both directions. Good luck.

Short answer "Yes"; I don't know anything about DirectTV but if there is an Optical Out on the Direct TV box then you can use the Optical In on the unit. I've got an Optical Out on my TV and I have that connected to the unit's Optical IN and it works great. The remote has a button to switch from "TV" sound to the "Speakers" and it works great; it's using the input from the Optical cable.

Yes, the unit has an optical input for surround sound, as well as a standard RCA input like you'd find on most TVs. Most likely, you can hook your box up to either input.

Per Owners Manual - has coax antenna input. Audio coax digital output is a separate thing.

It does have a digital audio input (TOSLINK). But as someone else said, you really only need an HDMI cable; unless you have some other special need, connect the Apple TV to the A/V receiver via HDMI, and then another HDMI cable from the A/V receiver to the HDTV.

It does have a DV input on the front panel requires a DV cable. I don't use it but looked in the manual and found it.

Yes, The receiver has digital/optical inputs on it. I have my PS3 hooked up to it by two inputs, First the video is running out of the PS3 through the HDMI cable. Second I have the audio out of the PS3 through the digital/optical output. The sound is amazing!!!

Yes. But not using the red and white wire , or hdmi , or coax or optical cable. It only accepts a 3.5mm headphone style jack on the front as the PC/AUX input. So you need to get whatever your tv puts out ( RCA, HEADPHONE, etc.) to 3.5mm at the other end.

Sure. Just input the output sound from from your TV via, optical, hdmi, or analog.

Yes it does. I am running three TV's off of one DirecTv box, and all get great picture and sound.

Yes it does. After I connected the computer to the tv, I connected my surround sound system to the tv with a digital output wire and the sound is much better.

The unit has both audio and video input and output so I would say yes. I sometime use it as a source to transfer DVD material to a new DVD

It does have one digital coaxial audio output, but I haven't tested that. Other than that, it's just HDMI.My system goes from the Blu-Ray player to my TV, then my TV outputs optical audio to my sound system. If my sound system was a bit newer, it would probably have HDMI pass through and that wouldn't be an issue, but alas, it's not.

No, it does not have any audio input. I can recommend Kodak zi8 and zi10 for digital video cameras with external Mic jacks.
