1.Connect the HDMI OUT jack on the recorder to the HDMI jack on a HDMI compatible TV or moni- tor (H).

2.Set the TV’s source to HDMI (refer to TV’s Owner’s manual).

Notes:

•If your TV is NOT capable of handling 96 kHz sam- pling frequency, set the [Sampling Freq.] option to [48 kHz] on the setup menu (See page 22). When this choice is made, this unit will automatically convert any 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.

•If your TV is not equipped with Dolby Digital and MPEG decoder, set the [Dolby Digital] and [MPEG] options to [PCM] on the setup menu (See page 22).

•If your TV is not equipped with DTS decoder, set the [DTS] options to [OFF] on the setup menu (See page 22). To enjoy DTS multi channel surround, you must connect this recorder to a DTS compatible receiver via one of this recorder’s digital audio outputs.

•The arrow on the cable connector body should face up for correct alignment with the connector on the recorder.

•If there is noise or lines on the screen, please check the HDMI cable.

•If the resolution is set to 720p or 1080i in HDMI mode, the screen aspect ratio will be changed from 4:3 to 16:9 wide screen. In this case, change the aspect ratio of your TV.

•The output from the AV OUT and S-VIDEO OUT can not be obtained when the resolution is set to 720p or 1080i.
