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).
