Connecting Your Laser Disc Player (with AC-3 RF Output), continued
Do not plug in the receiver to AC power until you have
connected all your devices.
You must purchase an RF Demodulator (such as the
Kenwood DEM-9991D available from one of our parts dis-
tributors) if you plan to operate a player with a Dolby Digi-
tal (AC-3) RF output with this receiver.
These instructions describe how to connect a laser disc player
with an AC-3 RF output. If your laser disc player does not
have an AC-3 RF output, see "Connecting Your Laser Disc
Player (without AC-3 RF Output)" on page 28. Please refer
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.

dition, note the brand name and model number of the
