English

The best possible sound quality is obtained by connecting your DVD recorder to an A/V receiver with Multi-channel decoder (Dolby Digital, MPEG 2 and DTS).

Digital Multi-channel sound

Digital Multi-channel connection provides the optimum sound quality. For this you need a Multi-channel A/V receiver that supports one or more of the audio types supported by your DVD recorder (MPEG 2, Dolby Digital and DTS). For this you can check the receiver manual and the logos on the front of the receiver.

•Connect the recorder’s digital audio output to the corresponding input on the receiver. Use a digital coaxial cable (7) or a digital optical audio cable (8).

If you do not own a digital coaxial audio cable (not supplied), you may use the supplied video cable (4).

Note :

If the audio type of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound. The audio type of the DVD disc in play is displayed in the Status Window, when changing the language. 6 Channel Digital Surround Sound via digital connection can only be obtained if your receiver is equipped with a Digital Multi-channel decoder.
