memo

When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital

When connecting a DVD/LD player or LD player using the 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 receiver at the digital input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the RFD-1.
