Digital Component Hookups - Sony ST-RDB940 Operating Instructions Manual

Digital Component Hookups

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, like
the Sony MOD-RF1 (not supplied).

Example of LD player connected via an RF demodulator
Please note that you cannot connect an LD player's AC-3 RF OUT jack directly to this unit'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 this unit'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.
