If your DVD/LD/CD combi-player has a DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal output terminal, it can be connected to this unit by using an RF demodulator (separate purchase).

First, connect the DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal output terminal of the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to the DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal input terminal of the RF demodulator. Next, connect the coaxial digital signal output terminal of the RF demodulator to the COAXIAL digital signal input terminal of this unit.

This connection is necessary for sending audio signals of an LD source encoded with Dolby Digital to this unit.

It is also necessary to connect the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to this unit’s analog audio signal input terminals regardless of the DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal connection. This is for playing back a source with Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoded or in normal stereo (or monaural).

You must also connect the optical digital signal output terminal of the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to the OPTICAL DVD/LD digital signal input terminal of this unit.

This connection is necessary for playing back a DVD source with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded, and playing back an LD source with DTS decoded.

When these connections are completed, set the input mode of the DVD/LD source to “AUTO”, and you will hear sounds decoded with Dolby Digital even if signals are input to both COAXIAL and OPTICAL digital signal input terminals of this unit. This is because signals input to the COAXIAL terminal take priority over signals input to the OPTICAL terminal. Refer to page 38 for details about switching the input mode.

Notes

If, for example, you play a CD on the DVD/LD/CD combi- player, there is no input to the COAXIAL terminal, so the signals input to the OPTICAL terminal take priority. In this case, switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound without interference. However, if your RF demodulator is the Yamaha model APD-1, you do not have to switch it off.

When you want to play an LD source encoded with Dolby Digital without decoding Dolby Digital, you must switch off the power of the RF demodulator.
