*3 When connecting a monaural video, use a stereo-mono connecting cord (not supplied).

*4 When connecting an LD player equipped with the AC-3 RF OUT terminal, use an RF demodulator unit. Also connect the analog AUDIO OUT terminals of the LD player to the receiver to play all the sources. For further information, refer to the instructions of the LD player.
