DVD or LD player (etc.)*
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 enjoy full effect of multi
channel surround sound, five speakers (two front
speakers, two rear speakers, and a center speaker) and a
sub woofer 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).

Digital Component Hookups

TV or satellite tuner
Please note that 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. Connect the LD player to the RF
demodulator, then connect the RF demodulator’s optical or coaxial digital output to this unit’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL
DVD/LD IN jack. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with your RF Demodulator for details on DOLBY DIGITAL RF
hookups.

Note
When making connections as shown above, be sure to set INPUT MODE (4 on page 24) manually. This unit may not operate correctly if
INPUT MODE is set to “AUTO.”
*Make either coaxial or optical connections. We recommend making coaxial connections instead of optical connections.
