Source Connections - Advanced Setup
Accessing Input Labels
While most installations will commonly use no more than seven or eight Input Labels (the
SSD-66 (5.1) has eight inputs), selecting these eight or all fourteen Input Labels will vary
depending on the type of control you require. The following chart explains the control type
and how it accesses Input Labels.

Determining Source Connections
As the SSD-66 (5.1) has a total of four video inputs and eight audio inputs (three of which are
digital and one multi-pin), some care will need to be given when determining which inputs to
use with which sources. The obvious first conclusion is that the SSD-66 (5.1) can only accept
four video sources. The remaining audio inputs can be used for the AC-3 output of the laser
disc player (via the RFD-1), the DTS output of a CD or laser disc (when using the DTS-1),
and two more audio only sources.
The important factor here is that the Laser Disc Player will use up three audio inputs on the
SSD-66 (5.1) with only one video input. The first audio input will have to be one of the two
digital coax (RCA) inputs for the digital AC-3 data bit stream. The second audio input would
be from the DTS-1 using the SSD-66 (5.1)'s multi-pin input using the laser disc players digital
coax or digital optical output. The third audio input to the SSD-66 (5.1) can be either the laser
disc players digital audio coax output, digital audio optical output, or stereo analog audio
output connected directly to the SSD-66 (5.1). This output is needed to allow the SSD-66
(5.1) to decode standard (PCM) laser discs which are not formatted in either AC-3 or DTS.
When either the LASER AC3, LASER PCM, or LASER DTS Input Label is selected, the SSD-
66 (5.1) will select the appropriate audio input while maintaining the same signal video input.
Therefore, when connecting an AC-3 and/or DTS Laser Disc Player to the SSD-66 (5.1), you
will have five remaining audio type inputs, three of which can be audio and video. Thus you
can still connect a VCR, Satellite or DSS Receiver,Cable Box, CD, and Cassette or Tuner.
To maximize the number of components you can connect to the SSD-66 (5.1), you will need
to use all of the digital inputs (2 coax and one optical). Some laser disc players, in addition to
having an AC-3 output, also have a digital coax, digital optical, and analog audio output.
Some however do not have all of these. Furthermore, certain CD players have either a digital
coax or digital optical audio output in addition to an analog output. There are also a few other
source components which may have digital audio outputs such as DVD players, DSS receiv-
ers, and DAT players. When planning how to connect sources to the SSD-66 (5.1), you will
want to spare the analog inputs for sources that have no digital outputs and thereby first focus
on connecting sources that have digital outputs.
Since there are several variables that need to be considered when planning source connec-
tions to the SSD-66 (5.1), it will be helpful to document the types of jacks your components
have.
