WARNING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN This symbol indicates "dangerous voltage" inside the product that presents a risk of electric shock or personal injury. Cautions Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DSS Receiver. The slots on top of the receiver must be left uncovered to allow proper airflow to the unit. Blocking the airflow to the unit could impair performance or damage your receiver and other components. [. . . ] Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV's back panel instead of straight down the middle after you connect your components. Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from the audio/video cables as much as possible. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet packed with your unit. · · Protect Your Components from Overheating · · · · Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Place an amplifier or DSS® receiver on the top shelf of the stand so heated air rising from it will not flow around other components. 39 Connections Connecting Your DSS® Receiver to Your TV If your DSS® system has not been professionally installed, or if you move your system or add a component, refer to these pages to help you connect your system. Jacks and Cables 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 SVideo jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound. S-Video Jack 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. Audio/Video Jack 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. 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.
