RE: how would i use this?

To oversimplify, your tuner has a front half which receives the broadcast and sends a composite signal to a multiplex decoder. The back half of your tuner is the multiplex (stereo) decoder, which decodes it into left and right audio, which is then fed to your system.

The horizontal output on your Scott carries the composite signal. That would be fed to your added decoder. That decoder has two audio outputs, which are fed to your system instead of the left and right audio outputs of your tuner.

You are substituting the external decoder for the back half of your tuner.

The design of the decoder has a huge impact on the amount of IBOC noise from HD radio.
