Example of connection using a DVD/LD or LD player
VSX-D938TX model:
Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using the AC-3 RF jack. If your player has an AC-3 RF output,
this will ensure you can use all types of laser discs. See p. 37.

VSX-D908TX/D908TX-G models:
When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital
To connect a DVD/LD or LD player with its 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 VSX-
D908TX/D908TX-G models through their digital input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the RFD-1.

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 DO NOT need
to make both. Also, be sure to assign
the jacks to the proper component(s)
with the “Digital-In Select” procedure
(see p.37).
Make sure the RF
demodulator
digital in switch is
set correctly
(optical or coaxial
depending on the
connection).
