Polk Audio 2 Connecting a Laserdisc Player, Connecting Your TV to the Preamp/Processor

Page 12

Connecting a Laserdisc Player

Connect the AC-3 RF output of the LD player LD RF input of the preamp/processor.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not connect a normal analog audio output or digital coaxial output of a DVD player or any other source to the LD RF jack. You will damage the preamp/processor if you do.

Also connect the left and right analog audio outputs of the LD player to the Left and Right LD analog inputs on the preamp/processor. This will

allow you to hear laser discs that do not have Dolby Digital

AC-3 soundtracks.

Early LD players only have analog audio outputs and are not capable of delivering 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound. If your LD player does not have a jack marked “RF AC-3 Out,” just hook up the Left and Right analog audio outputs of the LD player to the analog LD inputs on the preamp/processor. If you have any doubts as to whether your LD player has a Dolby Digital (AC-3) RF output, contact your Polk Audio dealer.

Connect either the composite

video or the S-video output of the LD player to the corresponding LD video input of the preamp/processor. Do not use both composite and S-video connections. If you use S-video connections here, you must connect your

TV to the preamp/processor with an S-video cable in order to get a picture with this input.

Connecting Your TV to the Preamp/Processor

If you are using only standard (composite RCA) video inputs for your video sources and no S-video sources, just connect the VIDEO TV out to any free composite video input of your TV. If you are using only S-VHS (S-video) video inputs for your video sources and no standard (composite) sources, just connect the VIDEO TV out to any free S-video input of your TV.

If you want the audio from your TV to play through the system, just connect its audio outputs to any unused set of analog input jacks on the preamp/processor, such as LD, AUX (on the front panel), or Tape In.

Connecting the Preamp/Processor to the Subwoofer

Use the supplied 4 meter (131/4') 25-pin audio cable to connect the AUDIO OUT of the DS-2 preamp/processor to the AUDIO IN 25-pin connector on the subwoofer. IMPORTANT NOTE: If the cable is not long enough, you may add a 4 meter Monster Cable® brand DB25HT Audio Interconnect cable (or equivalent) to increase the length to 8 meters. Contact your Polk dealer or call Polk Audio (800) 638-7276, ext. 324, Monday through Friday, Eastern Standard Time, and buy an actual Polk cable direct from us. MORE IMPORTANT NOTE: While the 25-pin connector cable may look like your average computer printer cable,

it is not a printer cable. Do not try to use a computer printer cable to connect your DS-2 system. This will damage your DS-2. And you still won’t be able to print out that important report through your subwoofer.
