PREPARATION Connecting Your Equipment Example Connection for a DVD/LD or LD player Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using both a RF demodulator and either a coaxial or optical (you don't need to do both of these) digital connections. To connect a DVD/LD player or LD player with it's 2 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 VSX-35TX model through their digital input jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the RFD-1. If your player has an 2 RF output this will ensure you can use all LDs. We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks. Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC wall outlet. *The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.

Make sure the RF demodulator digital in switch is set correctly (optical or coaxial depending on the connection). Also, be sure to assign the jacks to the proper component(s) with the Digital-In Select procedure (see p. 30 and/or the explanation on the left for details.) if necessary. See the components instruction manual if you are unsure about its input and output jacks. 15
