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 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
(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 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.
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.
Digital Audio/Video (DAV) Jack and Cable
The digital audio/video cable connects the DSS ® receiver to a
compatible D-VHS VCR. This connection lets you record and play
back digital programming with virtually no loss in picture and sound
quality.
