Hello:
If I understand your question, the connector you are using on your sat receiver is orange in color (digital) and you are trying to plug it into analog connections (L/R) on your receiver or TV?...THAT WILL NOT WORK!
If you use the digital output on the sat receiver, you should use a single 75ohm coax cable from the orange plug on the sat receiver to a like connection (orange plug) on your audio receiver (orange plug) and then match the audio receiver's input settings to that input:ie: COAX1 (does not sound like you have optical)
The easiest explanation is follow the color coding of the jacks at all times
if you are going straight to your tv with the sound......the TV needs to have an orange input jack....If not, then you must use the L/R outs on the sat receiver to the L/R inputs on what ever you are connecting to! (standard stereo audio cables ...a red one and a white one)...with the L/R setup, you cannot get AC3!...only stereo
Hope this helps

I understand...plz read my reply for your hookup....I think you are trying to connect the digital out of your Sat receiver to an analog (stereo) input of some other device. THAT WILL NOT WORK....orange is digital....red/white is analog stereo...plz read my post above
Good Luck

your receiver must be able to decode dolby digital. As gizzer noted above, you can't hook the dolby up to the regular l/r inputs of the freceiver. There should be a spot (if your receiver has it) for a dolby digital input which is orange

Another note on Digital sound
I have discovered with my 4dtv that a station can transmit digital sound that is NOT Dolby encoded....when the channel does that, My Pioneer receiver automatically switches over to the DSP sound mode that I have set (Like Prologic II or DTS Neo 6, etc)
Hope this is helping you!
