Connecting Your Equipment

Example Connection for a DVD/LD or LD player

To connect a DVD/LD player or LD player with it's 2RF output, a commercially available RF demodulator (RFD-1) is required. The RF demodulator changes the RF signal to a digital signal which is then processed by the VSX-D909S model through their digital input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the RFD-1. 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 wall outlet.

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 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.

The default settings are:

DIGITAL IN 1: DVD/LD

DIGITAL IN 2: CD

DIGITAL IN 3: MD

DIGITAL IN 4: TV/SAT

DIGITAL IN 5: VCR1

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 VSX-D909S default setting. In this case you will need to assign the digital inputs. See Digital-In Select on p.31 in order to do this.
