Connecting up

Connecting to an AV amplifier

To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need to connect this recorder to an AV amplifier/receiver using the digital optical output.

In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog connection for compatibility with all discs and sources.

You’ll probably also want to connect a video output to your AV amplifier/receiver. Use the ordinary video output (as shown here), or the S-video output.

Important

•Noise may be output from your speakers if the recorder is not set up to work with your AV amplifier/receiver properly (see Audio Out settings on page 82).

This enables you to watch and record TV channels.

2Connect one of the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL jack on this recorder to an optical digital input on your AV receiver.

This enables you to listen to multichannel surround sound.

3Connect the analog AUDIO OUTPUT and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on this recorder to an analog audio and video input on your AV receiver.

4Connect the AV receiver’s video output to a video input on your TV.

Note

•The diagram shows ordinary video connections, but you can alternatively use an AV connector or S-video connections, if they’re available.

Important

•Do not connect this recorder to your TV ‘through’ your VCR using A/V cables. Always connect it directly to your TV.
