Notes

The laserdisc player (or other unit) must be also connected to the DVD/LD (or TV/DBS) AUDIO SIGNAL input terminals of this unit to play a source encoded with Dolby Pro Logic Surround or in normal stereo (or monaural).

The discrete signals input to this unit cannot be recorded by a tape deck, MD recorder or VCR. To record a source played on the laserdisc player (or another unit), it must be connected to the DVD/LD (or TV/DBS) AUDIO/VIDEO SIGNAL input terminals of this unit.

If you made no connection to the SUB WOOFER input terminal of this unit or you will not use a subwoofer, you should be able to make a setting on the decoder to distribute SUB WOOFER channel signals to the right and left MAIN output terminals.

For details, refer to the owner’s manual supplied with the decoder.
