Connecting a Stereo DSS
(satellite TV) Receiver (see diagram on previous page)
The first generation of DSS receivers (pre 1999) only have stereo
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
hook up method. DSS receivers made in 1999 or later with a“Digital
Out,” “Optical,” “TOS Link,” or “PCM Out” jack should be connected
as described in “Connecting a Digital DSS Receiver” below.
If you have any doubts as to which type of DSS receiver
you have, contact your DSS dealer.
For Stereo DSS, connect the left and right audio outputs
of the DSS receiver to the Left and Right DSS inputs on
the RMDS-1 preamp/processor. Connect either the
composite video or the S-video output of the DSS
receiver to the corresponding DSS video input of the
RMDS-1. Do not use both composite and S-video
connections. If you use S-video connections here, you
must connect your TV to the RMDS-1 preamp/processor
with an S-video cable in order to get a picture with this
input.
Connecting an Digital DSS
(satellite TV) Receiver
Connect the optical digital output of the DSS receiver to the
DSS DIGITAL INPUT of the RMDS-1 using a TOS LINK fiber-
optic cable available at your Polk Audio dealer. We also recommend
connecting left and right analog audio outputs of the DSS receiver to
the Left and Right DSS inputs on the RMDS-1 preamp/processor.
This will allow you to record the audio output of the DSS on to a
VCR.
If your DSS receiver does not have an optical digital output jack,
connect your DSS receiver to the DVD inputs as described in
“Connecting a DVD Player.” You will then connect your DVD player to
the DSS inputs (almost all DVD players have an optical output).
Connect either the composite video or the S-video output of the DSS
receiver to the corresponding DSS video input of the RMDS-1. Do not
use both composite and S-video connections. If you use S-video
connections here, you must connect your TV to the RMDS-1
preamp/processor with an S-video cable in order to get a picture
with this input.
Connecting a VCR
Connect the Left and Right audio outputs of the VCR to the Left and
Right analog audio VCR In jacks of the RMDS-1. Connect the Left and
Right audio inputs of the VCR to the Left and Right VCR Rec. Out jacks
of the RMDS-1.
Connect either the composite video or the S-video output of the VCR
to the corresponding VCR video input of the RMDS-1. Do not use both
composite and S-video connections. If you use S-video connections
here, you must connect your TV to the RMDS-1 preamp/processor with
an S-video cable in order to get a picture with this input.
Connecting a CD Player
Connect the analog stereo outputs of your CD player to the Left and
Right CD inputs of the RMDS-1 preamp/processor.
Connecting an Audio Tape Deck
Connect the outputs of the tape deck to the TAPE IN jacks
of the RMDS-1. Connect the inputs of the tape deck to
the TAPE Rec. Out jacks of the RMDS-1.
