grafx1 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 (edited) Hi,Can i connect right and left audio output channels (satellite receiver) to mono input channel (TV) through Y connection (2 rca to 1 rca), or there were be harm on the output system as the R & L signals will be connected together ??Thanks.

nitroshift Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I wouldn't do it, although I'm sure nothing wrong can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shindo_Hikaru Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 (edited) Technically speaking, the mono port is actually just the left channel, but using a Y-adapter, it would not be recommended, as the single mono input of the TV would not handle it (in a way it does not know how to handle it), you are pretty much causing cross-talk and a dangerous audio signel crash. IT would eventually short the port out. Not right away but in due time.I forgot, what is your current cable configuration. Are they all RG-6 grade cable, RG-59 or a combo of the two. As i have mentioned in a past post, Use all RG-6 cable, if you must use RG-59, then use it no longer then 1 meter.

RJM Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 (edited) Depending on your satellite receiver you should be able to go into the audio menuAnd select mono output and then just connect your left output to you TV’s audio input.

Shindo_Hikaru Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 You could do that, setup up in the reciver, with that it suppose to combine the signals internally and send to your tv through the Left channel to simulate mono, however some recivers do not support his feature (depending on your service) so just connecting to left channel is best.

grafx1 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 Thank you sooo much for the info@ RJM: the receiver don't support changing audio to mono.@ Shindo_Hikaru: i'm connecting through left audio channel right now,this is the first time to know that "the mono port is actually just the left channel" and about the cables, i'm using RG-6 grade cable, i was asking about the cables because i want to add a second receiver but found that i must have a dual LNB to do so, or the 2 receivers will fight on one LNB...Thanks.

Shindo_Hikaru Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 dual LBN, wow, i have not seen that kind of setup in 7 years, here in the states it is different and has a advance layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 99% of the dish's in the market are dual LNBF's and some are triple LNBF. There is no advance layout or simple layout for satellite dishes. You either have a1) Single LNBF (legacy systems used by older DirecTV models).2) Dual LNBF (used by almost all Dish Network customers and now basic model for all DirecTV customers).3) Triple LNBF (used by DirecTV to serve some local channel markets and used otherwise to offer HD programming).

Shindo_Hikaru Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Dish Networks, Dual LBN applies to the South/Mid Wests regional ares for it Dish 500, SuperDish signals, I am actually quite well aware of that area, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
