Connections

Do not plug in the receiver to AC power until you have connected all your devices.

These instructions describe how to connect a laser disc player with a PCM Digital Output. If your player has a Dolby Digital (AC-3) RF Out, see “Connecting Your Laser Disc Player (with AC-3 RF Output)” on page 26. This configuration does not allow Dolby Digital laser discs to be played. Please refer to your laser disc player’s instructions for more detail about its connection jacks and capabilities.

The instructions in this section show one of several possible variations on connecting your laser disc player. For further assistance on optional configurations, contact the store where you purchased your receiver.

To Connect a PCM Digital Output Laser Disc Player:

1.Review the information under “Before You Begin” on page 1. It contains important notes about the types of video connections you can make.

2.Connect the audio cables from the laser disc player’s Audio OUT jacks to the receiver’s AUDIO jacks (VIDEO 4 PLAY IN) as shown to the left.

3.Connect the video cable from the laser disc player’s Video OUT jack to the receiver’s VIDEO PLAY IN jack as shown to the left.

Note that the jack sets are linked, even though they are not adjacent. You must connect all of the cables from your laser disc player to a linked jack set. If you connect the analog cables to VIDEO3 and the digital optical cable to VIDEO4, your laser disc player will not work correctly.

4.Connect the digital cable (either optical or coaxial) from the laser disc player’s digital jack to the appropriate digi- tal jack on the receiver as shown to the left. Your laser disc player supports only one of the digital connection methods—do not connect both.

5.Go to “Noting Your Devices” on page 3 and note which jacks you used to connect your laser disc player. In ad- dition, note the brand name and model number of the laser disc player.

When playing DTS-encoded software in multichannel con-

 

figuration, the connected audio signal should be the digi-

tal signal.
