•Refer to the instructions supplied with the component to be connected.

•You cannot make digital audio recordings of discs recorded in Dolby Digital (AC-3) format directly using MD deck or DAT deck.

When you make the connections above, do not set “DVD DIGITAL OUT” in “INITIAL SETUP” to “AC-3 Digital.” If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
