Connecting Your Laser Disc Player (without AC-3 RF Output), continued
Do not
plug in the receiver to AC power until you have
connected all your devices.
These instructions describe how to connect a laser disc player
with a PCM Digital Output. If your player has a Dolby Digi-
tal (AC-3) RF Out, see “Connecting Your Laser Disc Player
(with AC-3 RF Output)” on page␣ 24. This configuration does
not allow Dolby Digital laser discs to be played. Please refer
to your laser disc 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 laser disc player. For
further assistance on optional configurations, contact the
store where you purchased your receiver.
To Connect a PCM Digital Output Laser Disc
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 cables from the laser disc player’s
Audio OUT jacks to the receiver’s
AUDIO
jacks as shown
to the left.
3. Connect the video cable from the laser disc player’s Video
OUT jack to the receiver’s
VIDEO PLAY IN
jack as shown
to the left.
Note that the jack sets are linked, even though they are
not adjacent. You
must
connect all of the cables from
your laser disc player to a linked jack set.
4. When the LD player has digital jacks, connect a digital
(coaxial or optical) cable between the LD player’s digi-
tal jack and the receiver’s
VIDEO3
or
VIDEO4
(VR-4090
only) digital jack.
(Although the figure shows both the
coaxial cable connection and optical cable connection,
use either connection in actual case.)
When connecting a digital optical cable, remove the pro-
tect covers from the optical jacks.
If you connect the analog cables to
VIDEO3
and the
digital optical cable to
VIDEO2
,␣ your laser disc player
will not work correctly.
5. Go to “Noting Your Devices” on page␣ 3 and note which
jacks you used to connect your laser disc player. In addi-
tion, note the brand name and model number of the
laser disc player.
