Ⅵ Connecting to DOLBY DIGITAL RF output of the DVD/LD/CD combi-player
PREPARATION
If your DVD/LD/CD combi-player has a DOLBY DIGITAL RF
signal output terminal, it can be connected to this unit by using
an RF demodulator (separate purchase).
First, connect the DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal output terminal of
the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to the DOLBY DIGITAL RF
signal input terminal of the RF demodulator. Next, connect the
coaxial digital signal output terminal of the RF demodulator to
the COAXIAL digital signal input terminal of this unit.
This connection is necessary for sending audio signals of an
LD source encoded with Dolby Digital to this unit.
It is also necessary to connect the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to
this unit’s analog audio signal input terminals regardless of the
DOLBY DIGITAL RF signal connection.
You must also connect the optical digital signal output terminal
of the DVD/LD/CD combi-player to the OPTICAL DVD/LD
digital signal input terminal of this unit.
This connection is necessary for playing back a DVD source
with Dolby Digital or DTS decoded, and playing back an LD
source with DTS decoded.
When these connections are completed, set the input mode of
the DVD/LD source to “AUTO”, and you will hear sounds
decoded with Dolby Digital even if signals are input to both
COAXIAL and OPTICAL digital signal input terminals of this
unit. This is because signals input to the COAXIAL terminal
take priority over signals input to the OPTICAL terminal.
Refer to page 36 for details about switching the input mode.
Notes
●
If, for example, you play a CD on the DVD/LD/CD combi-
player, there is no input to the COAXIAL terminal, so the
signals input to the OPTICAL terminal take priority. In this
case, switch off the RF demodulator to listen to CD sound
without interference. However, if your RF demodulator is the
Yamaha model APD-1, you do not have to switch it off.
●
When you want to play an LD source encoded with Dolby
Digital without decoding Dolby Digital, you must switch off
the power of the RF demodulator.
