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 26. This configuration does
not allow Dolby Digital laser discs to be played. Please re-
fer 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 (VIDEO
4 PLAY IN) 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. If you connect
the analog cables to VIDEO3 and the digital optical
cable to VIDEO4, your laser disc player will not work
correctly.
4. Connect the digital cable (either optical or coaxial) from
the laser disc player’s digital jack to the appropriate digi-
tal jack on the receiver as shown to the left. Your laser
disc player supports only one of the digital connection
methods—do not connect both.
5. 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 DTS-encoded software in multichannel con-
figuration, the connected audio signal should be the digi-
tal signal.
