Connecting an Analog DSS (satellite TV) Receiver
(see diagram on previous page)
The first generation of DSS receivers (pre 1999) only have
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.
Connect the left and right audio outputs of the DSS
receiver to the Left and Right DSS inputs on the Digital
Solution preamp/processor. Connect either the
composite video or the S-video output of the DSS
receiver to the corresponding DSS video input of the
Digital Solution. Do not use both composite and S-video
connections. If you use S-video connections here, you
must connect your TV to the Digital Solution
preamp/processor with an S-video cable in order to get
a picture with this input.
Connecting a Digital DSS
(satellite TV) Receiver
Connect the optical digital output of the DSS receiver to the DSS
DIGITAL INPUT of the DIGITAL SOLUTION 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 Digital Solution 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 CABLE inputs and select the
“Cable” input.
Connect either the composite video or the S-video output of the DSS
receiver to the corresponding DSS video input of the Digital Solution.
Do not use both composite and S-video connections. If you use S-video
connections here, you must connect your TV to the Digital Solution
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 DIGITAL SOLUTION. Connect the
Left and Right audio inputs of the VCR to the Left and Right VCR Rec.
Out jacks of the Digital Solution.
Connect either the composite video or the S-video output of the VCR to
the corresponding VCR video input of the Digital Solution. Do not use
both composite and S-video connections. If you use S-video
connections here, you must connect your TV to the Digital Solution
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 Digital Solution preamp/processor.
Connecting an Audio Tape Deck
Connect the outputs of the tape deck to the TAPE IN jacks of the Digital
Solution. Connect the inputs of the tape deck to the TAPE REC. OUT
jacks of the Digital Solution.
