When connecting to the HDMI jack
Follow the steps below. Improper handling
may damage the HDMI jack and the
connector.
1
Carefully align the HDMI jack on the
rear of the recorder and the HDMI
connector by checking their shapes.
Make sure the connector is not upside
down or tilted.
2
Insert the HDMI connector straight into
the HDMI jack.
Do not bend or apply pressure to the
HDMI connector.

• Be sure to disconnect the HDMI cable when
moving the recorder.
• Do not press the recorder against the cabinet wall
when you place the recorder in a cabinet with the
HDMI cable connected. It may damage the
HDMI jack or the HDMI cable.
• Do not twist the HDMI connector while
connecting to or disconnecting from the HDMI
jack to avoid damaging the HDMI jack and
connector.
When playing “wide screen” images
Some recorded images may not fit your TV
screen. To change the picture size, see page

If you are connecting to a VCR
Connect your VCR to the LINE 1/
DECODER jack on the recorder (page 25).

For correct speaker location, refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the connected
components.
b
• Do not connect the recorder to your TV using
both a SCART cable and an HDMI cable.
• Do not connect more than one type of video
cable between the recorder and your TV at the
same time.
• When you connect the recorder to your TV via
the SCART jacks, the TV’s input source is set to
the recorder automatically when you start
playback. If necessary, press the TV t button
on the remote to return the input to the TV.
• You cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI
jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI
jacks on PC displays).
• Component progressive signals are not output
when using the HDMI connection.
• Do not connect your TV’s audio output jacks to
the LINE 2 IN (R-AUDIO-L) jacks at the same
time. This will cause unwanted noise to come
from your TV’s speakers.
• When connecting to the audio L/R input jacks,
do not connect the LINE 2 IN (R-AUDIO-L) and
LINE 2 OUT (R-AUDIO-L) jacks to your TV’s
audio output jacks at the same time. This will
cause unwanted noise to come from your TV’s
speakers.
• When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack or
DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack, after you
have completed the connection, make the
appropriate settings in the “Audio Out” setup
(page 95). Otherwise, no sound or a loud noise
will come from your speakers.
