Introduction
Connecting to an audio system
You can enjoy multichannel surround-sound such as 5.1 channel by connecting to an amplifier
compatible with Dolby
® Digital and DTS ® sound.
Connections
• For connection to your TV, see pages 20 to 21, 26.
• For details of output sound, see page 162 in “OPERATIONS GUIDE”.
Notes
• DO NOT connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT BITSTREAM/PCM jack of the recorder to the AC-3 RF input of a Dolby
Digital Receiver. This input on your A/V Receiver is reserved for Laserdisc use only and is incompatible with the DIGITAL
AUDIO OUTPUT BITSTREAM/PCM jack of the recorder.
• Connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT BITSTREAM/PCM jack of the recorder to the “OPTICAL” input of a Receiver or
Processor.
• Refer to the owner’s manual for the TV to be connected to this recorder for more information concerning connecting an audio
system.
• The output sound of the recorder has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the audio amplifier’s volume to a moderate
listening level. Otherwise, the speakers and your hearing may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.
• Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the recorder’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the
speakers may be damaged.
Caution
• When you are connecting (via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT BITSTREAM/PCM jack) an AV decoder that does not have
Dolby Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS) or MPEG2 decoding function, be sure to set “Audio out select” to “PCM”
from the on-screen displays (
page 39). Otherwise, high volume sound may damage your hearing as well as the
speakers.
• When playing DTS-encoded discs (DVD video discs and audio CDs), excessive noise may be output from the analog
stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, you should take proper precautions when the analog audio
out (L/R) jacks of the recorder are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround
® playback, an
external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround ® decoder system must be connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
BITSTREAM/PCM jack of the recorder.
