Answer
You'll need to be more specific. I need the brand AND model number.

Every brand and model are different as to what types of A/V inputs and outputs they have. I need as much specific info as you can give me about the gear you're using - like brands AND model numbers. Sony makes hundreds of different stereos, all with different ins and outs.

Do you have specific brand and model # for the satellite receiver as well? How about the TV?
