Connecting Your Equipment

Example of connection using a DVD/LD or LD player

VSX-D938TX model:

Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using the AC-3 RF jack. If your player has an AC-3 RF output, this will ensure you can use all types of laser discs. See p. 37.

VSX-D908TX/D908TX-G models:

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 DO NOT need to make both. Also, be sure to assign the jacks to the proper component(s) with the “Digital-In Select” procedure (see p.37).

When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital

To connect a DVD/LD or LD player with its AC-3 RF 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- D908TX/D908TX-G models through their digital input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the RFD-1.
