A suitable external RF demodula- tor must be used to convert the AC-3 RF output of LD players. Ideally, the demodulator should also have a digital bypass (pass-through) feature. Lexicon and B&K are among several companies making excellent demodu- lators with this feature.

If your LD and TV Monitor both have S-video, they can be connected as shown. This gives a better picture than composite video.

Note: you must also connect the player's two-channel audio outputs if you want to play it in Zone 2 when the Main Zone is playing a different source.
