OPERATION memo VSX-27TX 5 VSX-26TX and VSX-24TX models : When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital When connecting a DVD/LD player or LD player using the AC-3 RF output, a commercially available RF demodulator (RFD-1) is required. The RF demodulator changes the RF signal to a digital signal which is then processed by the receiver at the digital input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the RFD-1. Refer to pages 72, 73 for explanations of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and DTS. VSX-27TX model : Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using the AC-3 RF jack. If your player has an AC-3 RF output this will ensure you can use all LDs. Refer to pages 10, 11 and 34. 39
