Example:

2.Move the cursor on the “LD” with ^ or v button, and select RF with

<button, and select DIGITAL1 with > button.

Notes

The TUNER and AUX are fixed to the analog input, and cannot be selected for any digital input.

The RF input is available for LD , and can be linked with Digital 1,2,3 ,4 or 5.

If the RF input is linked with any Digital input, once the RF signal is not supplied, the SR-14EX will switch from the RF input to the digital input automatically.

If you connect an LD player, you should connect not only the RF output (if it has one) but also the Digital output.

Laser Discs which are not encoded with Dolby Digital will then send the sound through the digital output (PCM audio). If the disc you are playing is old and doesn’t have a digital soundtrack, you must connect the L/R analog outputs on the laser disc player to the laser disc analog inputs on the SR-14EX.

When a DTS-LD or DTS-CD is playing, this setup is not available. This is to avoid noise being generated from the analog input. In this case, the DTS audio must be played through the player’s digital output to the digital input on the SR-14EX. This is because the DTS soundtracks replace the standard PCM soundtracks on DTS discs.

The SR-14EX does not switch from digital input to analog input or vice versa automatically.

In case both digital and analog inputs are connected to the SR- 14EX,if you desire to switch to analog input temporarily, you can do so by pressing the A/D button.

If you select “Digital-6: COAXIAL” in Setup 1/2. RF is not available in this page.
