Connecting Your Equipment

Example of connection using a DVD/LD or LD player

When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital

To connect a DVD/LD or LD player with its 2RF 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- D409/D509S models through their digital input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the RFD-1.
