the necessary connections.

Hook Up the Audio/Video Signals
Most high-end TVs and VCRs have phono-type audio and video inputs. Look at the back of your
TV and VCR for three jacks--possibly color coded yellow, white
and red. They will be labeled something like IN (L and R), AUDIO
IN, and VIDEO IN. If you are unsure, look at these connectors on
the back of your DSS receiver. If you have no jacks like these on
your TV or VCR, skip this hookup and proceed to the "Hook Up
the RF Signals" section.

VIDEO
The phono-type video cable and jack
This video hookup will give you a dearer picture than an RF
hookup. Also, this hookup will allow you to view DSS programming and local broadcast
simultaneously on TVs that offer a "picture in picture" (PIP) feature.
When using this hookup, you cannot use the DSS receiver as a switch to choose between DSS
programming and local broadcasts. You will use the input selection that your TV and/or VCR
offers to select,the source.
If your VCR has a video input...
use an audio/video cable to connect one of"the DSS receiver's video output to the video input on
your VCK Also connect one pair of the DSS receiver's audio outputs (Left and Right) to the
audio inputs on your VCtL
If your TV has a video input...
connect an audio/video cable from the video output (either from the DSS receiver if available or
the VCR) to the video input on the TV. Also connect the left and right audio outputs from the
same device that the video is coming from and Connect them to the TV.
If you have a stereo system...
you may be able to achieve big speaker sound. See the "HookUp to a Stereo System" section for
the necessary connections.
If your hookup is complete...
move on to the "Finishing Up" section.
Hook Up, the RF Signals
Look at the back of your TV and VCR for RF inputs. These could be labeled something like
75-OHM, 300-OHM, CABLE, FROM ANTENNA, VHF or
UHF. These could appear either as a pair or screws or a F-type
connector as on the back of your DSS receiver.
If your TV or VCR does not have threaded F-type connectors you
will need to obtain adapters which convert the round F-type RG-6 TheRF cableandjack
or RG-59 cable to the connectors on your TV and or VCK These
are sold separately and should be available from your dealer or an electronics hardware store:
