Choosing the Best Connection for Your
Entertainment System
There are a number of ways to connect the DST-3000 receiver, depending on the other audio/
video equipment you wish to use. The simplest hookups are described in the following
subsections.
The rear of the DTS-3000 receiver (power cord not shown)
Before connecting the DST-3000 receiver to your entertainment system, you
should connect the phone line. This can be done by plugging one end of the
provided telephone cable into the PHONE JACK on the back of the DST-
3000 receiver and the other end into a telephone wall jack. If you do not
have a telephone jack within reach, you should move the DST-3000 receiver
to be within reach of a telephone wall jack, buy a longer telephone cable, or
have a new phone jack installed.
To suit your specific needs, you may need to purchase additional connectors and/or cables from
your dealer or electronic hardware store. Choose which hookup method to use based on:
The capabilities of your TV and VCR.
G
Your desire to receive local terrestrial analog and/or digital programming through the
G
DST-3000 receiver.
Any other devices you want to include in the system (stereo, second VCR, etc.).

Before attempting to connect anything, position yourself so you are looking at the back of your
components. Note the various input and output receptacles, their shapes, and how they are
labeled. Then read through the rest of this connection subsection before choosing a hookup
method and proceeding with the actual installation.
Note: Make sure the DST-3000 receiver, TV, VCR, and any other devices to be
connected are unplugged from the power outlet while hooking them up.
Some of the connection methods described in this chapter may require
optional cables or accessories that are not included with your DST-3000
receiver.
