Connecting Your DVD Player, continued
Do not
plug in the receiver to AC power until you have con-
nected all your devices.
This section focuses on the connections from your DVD
player to the VR-4090/VR-4080/KRF-V7773D. Please refer
to your DVD player’s instructions for more detail about its
connection jacks and capabilities.
The instructions in this section show one of several pos-
sible variations on connecting your DVD player. For further
assistance on optional configurations, contact the store
where you purchased your receiver.
To Connect a DVD Player:
1. Review the information under “Before You Begin” on
page␣ 1. It contains important notes about the types of
video connections you can make.
2. Connect the audio and video cables from the DVD’s
Audio and Video jacks to the receiver’s
PLAY IN
jacks as
shown to the left.
When the DVD player provides only the stereo (left,
right) outputs, connect them to the receiver’s
FRONT
jacks.
When the DVD player provides the
DVD 6CH
(DVD 5.1
CH) outputs, connect them to the
FRONT
,
SURROUND
,
CENTER
and
SUBWOOFER
input jacks.
4. Connect the digital cable (either coaxial or optical) from
the DVD’s digital jack to the appropriate digital jack on
the receiver as shown to the left.
The illustration shows two digital connections, one for
coaxial connection and one for optical connection. Your
DVD player supports one or the other of these connec-
tion methods—
do not
connect both.
If you use the optical digital cable, be sure to remove the
protective cover from the optical jack before connect-
ing.
5. Go to “Noting Your Devices” on page␣ 3 and note which
jacks you used to connect your DVD player. In addition,
note the brand name and model number of the DVD
player.
DTS disclaimer clause
DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD,
or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible
damage to the audio system, proper precautions should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™
playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.
This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround™ decorder.
