Hooking Up the Components
DVD player (etc.)*
Required cords
Optical digital cords (not supplied)
Coaxial digital cord (not supplied)
Audio/video cords (not supplied)
When connecting a cord, be sure to match the color-coded pins to
the appropriate jacks on the components.
Connect the digital output jacks of your DVD player and
satellite tuner (etc.) to the receiver’s digital input jacks to
bring the multi channel surround sound of a movie
theater into your home. To enjoy full effect of multi
channel surround sound, five speakers (two front
speakers, two rear speakers, and a center speaker) and a
sub woofer are required. You can also connect an LD
player with an RF OUT jack via an RF demodulator, such
as the Sony MOD-RF1 (not supplied).
Digital Component Hookups
Please note that you cannot connect an LD player’s AC-3 RF OUT jack directly to the receiver’s digital input jacks. You
must first convert the RF signal to either an optical or coaxial digital signal. Connect the LD player to the RF demodulator,
then connect the RF demodulator’s optical or coaxial digital output to the receiver’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL DVD/LD IN
jack. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with your RF Demodulator for details on AC-3 RF hookups.

Note
When making connections as shown above, be sure to set INPUT MODE (3 on page 23) manually. The receiver may not operate correctly
if INPUT MODE is set to “AUTO.”
* When making digital audio connections to a DVD player, connect to either the coaxial OR optical digital jacks, and not
both. It is recommended to make digital audio connections to the coaxial jack.
** STR-DE545 and STR-SE501 only.
Note
The optical and coaxial digital input jacks on the receiver are
compatible with sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and
48 kHz.
