Notes:

If you want sound from the Unit and sound from equipment connected to it (see next page) to come only from the speakers of the Unit, do not connect the left and right audio plugs from the Unit to your TV.

Sound from the VCR or other external equipment will not be heard from the television if you connect the television with a scart to scart cable.This is because the scart connector on the DVD amplifier Unit only carries output from the DVD player part.

If VCR Audio is mono, surround speakers sound level will be low or absent.

To hear the sound from television programmes through the Unit

Sound from the television does not go to the speakers of the DVD amplifier Unit with the suggested connections.To hear sound from television programmes through the DVD amplifier's loudspeakers you need to use your video recorder as a television tuner.To do this follow these steps:

1.Connect up the VCR as above in "Connecting a VCR". If your television does not have the round (RCA-style) connectors you can get an RCA to scart input adapter.

2.Press the FUNCTION button on the DVD Amplifier Unit to get AV_IN mode, shown on the front panel display.

3.On the television, select the AV or scart input channel for the DVD amplifier Unit.

4.On the VCR, select the television programme you want to watch.

5.On the DVD amplifier Unit select normal stereo or Pro Logic decoder modes according to your preference.

Please refer to the AV_IN rows of the table on page 16 describing which speakers the sound will come out of.

When using the VCR as a television tuner, you cannot watch one programme while recording another.
