S Video connection

While spring cleaning and throwing out my old satellite
boxes, I found an S video cable. So, I hooked it up from
my 4dtv box to my Mitsu TV. I was on FOX news at the
time and it didn't come in. I moved the channel selector
on the 'mote and the channel bar came on where there
was no signal until I hit Bloomberg on Digital. The picture
was excellent but no audio. The other digitals also had
video but no sound.
Never had S video before, but how could this work on
a digital channel partially (no audio) and not at all on the
analog one? Tried reconnecting the cable, but same results.
Any ideas?

S-video carries only video, not sound. You gotta feed the audio seperately.
Don't know why it would only work on digital channels...what model 4DTV is
it?

If it is a 4DTV DSR 920 there is no video output from
analog channels. S-Videois only output on digital channels.

Thanks for the reply. Where it states model #, it simply says
4dtv, other than that I didn't see a 920 or
a 922 anywhere on the receiver. Let's see..,
only works on some channels, doesn't have audio. I guess letting the cable
burn with the box would have been no great loss. BOB

To get audio you must also connect the audio outputs. S-Video
does not carry audio on any receiver.

go to: www.bigdish.info and you can look at some photos.

As I understand it,2 of the main differences between the 920 and the 922 is
that:

1) the M1 and M2 motor conenction screws are in different places
2) the 922 has an optical dolby digital 5.1 connection

Thanks, for the tip. It is a 920.

It is normal for the 920 to have S-video only on the digital channels. The
922 has it on both analog and digital channels. I understand the 922 also
has two sets of video outs. One for the monitor and one for a VCR. I may
be wrong about that though.

Yes, that is normal.
