To connect two-channel analog stereo or Dolby Pro Logic II/Pro Logic:

To connect a two channel digital stereo or A/V receiver with multi-channel decoder:

1Connect one of the recorder’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack (coaxial) to the corresponding in jack on your amplifier. Use an optional digital (coaxial) audio cable.

2Activate the recorder’s digital output. (See “Audio Settings” on page 15).

Digital multi-channel sound

A digital multi-channel connection provides the best sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel audio/video receiver that supports one or more of the audio formats supported by your recorder, including MPEG 2, Dolby Digital and DTS. Check the receiver manual and the logos on the front of the receiver to verify this.

Note

•If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.

•To play six-channel digital surround sound though a digital connection, your receiver must have a Digital Multi-channel decoder.

•To see the audio format of the current DVD displayed on the screen, press AUDIO.

•Your recorder does not perform internal (2-channel) decoding of a DTS sound track. To enjoy DTS multi-channel surround, you must connect your recorder to a DTS compatible receiver through one of your recorder’s digital audio outputs.
