Connecting Your Equipment
Example Connection for a DVD/LD or LD player
Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using both the 2RF jack and either a coaxial or optical (you don't need to do both of these) digital connections. If your player has an 2RF output this will ensure you can use all LDs (see p.15). We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

Be sure to make either a digital coaxial or digital optical connection (pictured as DIGITAL jack 1 or DIGITAL jack 3 in this diagram) as well, but you DON'T need to make both. Also, be sure to assign the jacks to the proper component(s) with the

memo
Make sure the RF demodulator digital in switch is set correctly (optical or coaxial depending on the connection).
Digital Input Assignment
Unlike analog connections, the jacks for digital connections are not dedicated to one type of component, they can be used freely. Thus you must tell the receiver what digital component in which jack so your components will be in sync with the the names on the remote control buttons and the like. To avoid having to assign the digital inputs you can hook up your equipment in accordance with the receiver's default settings.
You will notice that Digital IN 1, for example, is a coaxial jack. If your DVD/ LD player only has an optical out jack on it then you won't be able to hook up your components in accordance with the
14 Select on p.31 in order to do this.
7The default settings
DIGITAL IN 1: DVD/LD
DIGITAL IN 2: CD
DIGITAL IN 3: MD
DIGITAL IN 4: TV/SAT
DIGITAL IN 5: VCR1
