Connecting Your Equipment
Example Connection for a DVD/LD or LD player
Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using both the 2 RF jack and either a coaxial or optical (you
don't need to do both of these) digital connections. If your player has an 2 RF output this will ensure you can
use all LDs (see p.15). We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.
*The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.
Be sure to make either a digital coaxial or digital optical connection (pictured as DIGITAL jack 1
or DIGITAL jack 3 in this diagram) as well, but you DON'T need to make both.
Also, be sure to assign the jacks to the proper component(s) with the
Digital-In Select procedure
(see p.32) if necessary. See the explanation below for details.
(not a PCM-only output)
Digital Input Assignment
Unlike analog connections, the jacks for digital connections are not dedicated to one type of component, they
can be used freely. Thus you must tell the receiver what digital component in which jack so your components
will be in sync with the the names on the remote control buttons and the like. To avoid having to assign the
digital inputs you can hook up your equipment in accordance with the receiver's default settings.
The default settings are:
DIGITAL IN 1: DVD/LD
DIGITAL IN 2: CD
DIGITAL IN 3: MD
DIGITAL IN 4: TV/SAT
DIGITAL IN 5: VCR1
AC-3 RF: DVD/LD
You will notice that Digital IN 1, for example, is a coaxial jack. If your DVD/LD player only has an optical out jack on
it then you won't be able to hook up your components in accordance with the VSX-909RDS/909RDS-G default
setting. In this case you will need to assign the digital inputs. See Digital-In Select on p.32 in order to do this.
