Connect the digital output jacks of your DVD player to the receiver’s digital input jacks to bring the multi channel surround sound of a movie theater into your home. To enjoy full effect of multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two rear speakers, and a center speaker) and a subwoofer are required. You can also connect an LD player with an RF OUT jack via an RF demodulator, like the Sony MOD-RF1 (not supplied).

Example of LD player connected via an RF demodulator

Please note that you cannot connect an LD player’s AC-3 RF OUT jack directly to this unit’s digital input jacks. You must first convert the RF signal to an optical digital signal. Connect the LD player to the RF demodulator, then connect the RF demodulator’s optical digital output to this unit’s OPTICAL DVD/LD IN jack. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with your RF Demodulator for details on AC-3 RF hookups.
