Connecting Your Equipment

Example Connection for a DVD/LD or LD player

VSX-27TX model :

Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using both the AC-3 RF jack and a coaxial or optical connection. If your player has an AC-3 RF output this will ensure you can use all LDs. See p. 34.

VSX-26TX/24TX models :

memo 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. 34).

When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital

To connect a DVD/LD player or LD player with it's 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-26TX/24TX models through their digital input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the RFD-1.
