Deluxe DSS System
(160-2530)           Connecting Receiver to TV        Faxback Doc. # 19944

If your DSS system has not been professionally installed, or if you move
your system or add a component, refer to this document to help you connect
your system.

JACKS AND CABLE

S-Video Jack and Cable (S-VHS)

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 also to connect
the left and right audio cables because the S-Video jack carries only the
picture signal, not the sound.

See Connection A, below

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.

These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components.
The DSS receiver audio/video jacks are color coded (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.

See Connection B, below.

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 ANTENNA and 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.

See Connection C and Connection D, below.
