Digital Connections
Digital components can be connected as shown below. You can select up to four of the following be assigned to the
digital inputs on this unit: DVD/LD, TV/SAT, MD/TAPE, CD, VCR1 (VCR). To assign the digital inputs, refer to “Setting Up
for Surround Sound” on page 16.
The digital signal input is output directly to digital recording components from the optical digital output jack.
When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital
When connecting a DVD/LD player or LD player using
the AC-3 RF output, a commercially available RF
demodulator (RFD-1) is required. The RF demodulator
changes the RF signal to a digital signal which is then
processed by the receiver through the digital input
jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the RFD-1.
The factory setting for each of the digital inputs is
described below.
