• If you have an LD player, you need to make special connections to ensure you can play
2
RF format LDs on your system. If this is the case, hook up your DVD or LD player directly to
an RF demodulator using both the
2
RF output and either a coaxial or optical digital
connection. We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks
as well. Make sure the RF demodulator digital in switch is set correctly (optical or coaxial
depending on the connection). See the component's instruction manual if you are unsure
about its input and output jacks.
Connecting audio components
To begin set up, connect your analog audio components (such as a cassette deck) to the jacks.
For components you want to record with, you need to hook up four plugs to the receiver (a set
of stereo inputs and a set of stereo outputs), but for components that only play, you only need
to hook up one set of stereo plugs. You must also hook up your digital components to analog
audio jacks if you want to record to/from digital components (like an MD) to/from analog compo-
nents. See page 16 for more on digital connections.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord
is disconnected from the AC outlet.
