FIRST THINGS FIRST

JACKS AND CABLES

S-Video Jack and Cable

The S-Video jack provides the best picture quality for your DSS® system.

This jack is available on many TVs and is used in conjunction with
audio cables to connect the DSS® receiver to your TV. Remember	S-Video Jack
also to connect the left and right audio cables because the
S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound quality, and should be used if your TV has no S-Video jack.

Theses jacks are used for most audio/video connections between

components. The DSS® receiver audio/video jacks are color coded Audio/Video Jacks (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 right (red) audio jack on the DSS® receiver.

RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)

The RF jacks provide good picture and mono sound quality, and are to be used if audio/video connections are not available for your TV.

These jacks are required for antenna or cable-TV connections.

The RF jacks on the DSS® receiver are labeled IN FROM ANT andRF Jack OUT TO TV. The coaxial cable supplied with your DSS® system is

used to connect the RF jacks between the DSS® receiver and your TV’s antenna input.

VCR Controller Jack and Cable

The VCR controller cable plugs into a jack on the DSS® receiver’s

back panel. The other end of the cable affixes to your VCR’s remote sensor.
