Example Connection for a DVD/LD or LD player
Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using both the 2 RF jack and either a coaxial or
optical (you don't need to do both of these) digital connections. If your player has an 2 RF output this will
ensure you can use all LDs (see p. 15).

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 outlet.

Digital Input Assignment
Unlike analog connections, the jacks for digital connections are not dedicated to one type of component,
they can be used freely. Thus you must tell the receiver what digital component in which jack so your
components will be in sync with the names on the remote control buttons and the like. To avoid having to
assign the digital inputs you can hook up your equipment in accordance with the receiver's default
settings.

components will be in sync with the names on the remote control buttons and the like. To avoid having to
assign the digital inputs you can hook up your equipment in accordance with the receiver's default

The default are:

AC-3 RF: DVD/LD
You will notice that Digital IN 1, for example, is a coaxial jack. If your DVD/LD player only has an optical out
jack on it then you won't be able to hook up your components in accordance with the VSX-39TX's default
setting. In this case you will need to assign the digital inputs. See DIGITAL INPUT SELECT on p.33 in
order to do this.

Connecting Your Equipment
Be sure to make either a digital coaxial or digital optical connection (pictured as DIGITAL jack 1
or DIGITAL jack 3 in this diagram) as well, but you DON'T need to make both.
Also, be sure to assign the jacks to the proper component(s) with the DIGITAL INPUT SELECT
procedure (see p.33) if necessary. See the explanation on the left for details.
