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 at the digital input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the RFD-1.
Refer to pages 52, 53 for explanations of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and DTS.
memo
• When an LD or CD player compatible with DTS is played back with
SIGNAL SELECT set in “ANALOG”, digital noise is output caused by
playing back the DTS directly (no decoding). To prevent noise, you need to
make digital connections (Refer to pages 20, 21) and set SIGNAL SELECT
to “DIGITAL”.
