Connecting Your Laser Disc Player (with AC-3 RF Output), continued
Do not plug in the receiver to AC power until you have
connected all your devices.
You must purchase an RF Demodulator (DEM-9991D) if
you plan to operate a player with a Dolby Digital (AC-3) RF
Output with this receiver.
These instructions describe how to connect a laser disc player
with an AC-3 RF Output. If your laser disc player does not
have an AC-3 RF output, see “Connecting Your Laser Disc
Player (without AC-3 RF Output)” on page 28. 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 an AC-3 RF 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 (VIDEO
4 PLAY IN) as shown to the left.
Do not connect the digital cable (optical or coaxial)
yet; it must be connected via the demodulator as de-
scribed in the following steps.
3. Connect the AC-3 RF coaxial cable from the laser disc
player’s AC-3 RF OUT jack to the demodulator’s RF IN-
PUT AC-3 RF jack as shown to the left.
4. Connect the digital cable (either optical or coaxial) from
the laser disc player’s digital jack to the appropriate
DIGITAL INPUT jack on the demodulator as shown to
the left. Set the switch on the front of the DEM-9991D
to the type of connection you made.
5. Connect the coaxial digital cable from the demodulator’s
DIGITAL OUTPUT COAX. jack to the receiver’s VIDEO4
COAXIAL jack.
6. Connect the demodulator’s supplied 12V AC adapter to
the DC IN jack on the demodulator. Do not plug the
adapter into the wall until you have finished making all
connections to the receiver.
7. Go to “Noting Your Devices” on page 3 and note which
jacks you used to connect your laser disc player. In ad-
dition, note the brand name and model number of the
laser disc player.
When playing Dolby Digital *1 or DTS-encoded software in
multichannel configuration, the connected audio signal
should be the digital signal.
