Connecting a Stereo DSS				VCR
(satellite TV) Receiver (see diagram on previous page)
The first generation of DSS receivers (pre 1999) only have stereo				IN		OUT
analog audio outputs and are not capable of delivering 5.1 channel
digital surround sound. If your DSS receiver box only has Left and Right
audio jacks and no jack marked “Digital Out” or “PCM Out,” use this							L AUDIO
hook up method. DSS receivers made in 1999 or later with a“Digital				L AUDIO			R AUDIO
Out,” “Optical,” “TOS Link,” or “PCM Out” jack should be connected				R AUDIO
as described in “Connecting a Digital DSS Receiver” below.
If you have any doubts as to which type of DSS receiver	RMDS
you have, contact your DSS dealer.
For Stereo DSS, connect the left and right audio outputs		ANTENNA		VIDEO	DSS	LD	DVD	VCR	VCR Rec.	Video	REMOTE
