Connections

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

You must purchase an RF Demodulator (DEM-9991D) if you plan to operate a player with a Dolby Digital (AC-3) RF Output with this receiver.

These instructions describe how to connect a laser disc player with an AC-3 RF Output. If your laser disc player does not have an AC-3 RF output, see “Connecting Your Laser Disc Player (without AC-3 RF Output)” on page 28. 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 pos- sible variations on connecting your laser disc player. For further assistance on optional configurations, contact the store where you purchased your receiver.

To Connect an AC-3 RF 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.

Do not connect the digital cable (optical or coaxial) yet; it must be connected via the demodulator as de- scribed in the following steps.

3.Connect the AC-3 RF coaxial cable from the laser disc player’s AC-3 RF OUT jack to the demodulator’s RF IN- PUT AC-3 RF jack as shown to the left.

4.Connect the digital cable (either optical or coaxial) from the laser disc player’s digital jack to the appropriate DIGITAL INPUT jack on the demodulator as shown to the left. Set the switch on the front of the DEM-9991D to the type of connection you made.

5.Connect the coaxial digital cable from the demodulator’s DIGITAL OUTPUT COAX. jack to the receiver’s VIDEO4 COAXIAL jack.

6.Connect the demodulator’s supplied 12V AC adapter to the DC IN jack on the demodulator. Do not plug the adapter into the wall until you have finished making all connections to the receiver.

7.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 Dolby Digital*1 or DTS-encoded software in 27 multichannel configuration, the connected audio signal should be the digital signal.
