Connecting to an AV amplifier or receiver

To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need to connect this recorder to an AV amplifier/receiver using the digital coaxial output. In addition to the digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog connection.

You’ll probably also want to connect a video output to your AV amplifier/receiver. Use the standard (composite) video output (as shown here), or the S-Video or component video connections.

See also Audio Out on page 111 for how to set up the digital audio output. (Noise may be output from your speakers if the recorder is not set up to work with your AV amplifier/ receiver.)

Important

•Do not connect this recorder to your TV ‘through’ your VCR or other component using A/V cables. Always connect it directly to your TV.

1Connect RF antenna cables as shown. This enables you to watch and record TV channels.

2Connect the AUDIO and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks (1 or 2) on this recorder to a set of audio/video inputs on your AV amplifier/receiver.

3Use an coaxial digital audio cable (not supplied) to connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) jack on this recorder to an coaxial digital input on your AV amplifier/receiver.

This enables you to listen to multichannel surround sound.1

4Connect the AV amplifier/receiver’s video output to a video input on your TV.

Note

201 If your AV amplifier/receiver doesn’t have an coaxial digital input, but has a optical type, converter boxes that convert from coaxial to optical are available at specialist audio dealers.
