Sony STR-DB1070, STR-DB870 Digital component hookups

Digital component hookups

Connect the digital output jacks of your DVD player and satellite tuner (etc.) to the receiver’s digital input jacks to bring the multi channel surround sound of a movie theater into your home. To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. For 6.1 channel surround sound (STR-DB1070 only), you will also need a surround back speaker. You can also connect an LD player with an RF OUT jack via an RF demodulator, like the Sony MOD-RF1 (not supplied).

Note

You cannot connect an LD player’s DOLBY DIGITAL RF OUT jack directly to this unit’s digital input jacks. You must first convert the RF signal to either an optical or coaxial digital signal. For details, see “Troubleshooting” on page 49.
