General about connection

Picture and sound

Digital TV is a transmission technology that replaces the traditional analogue technique.

This means that several TV channels, radio channels and other digital services can be transmitted on the same space as just one channel took up before. As a consumer you get access to many more channels and services than before at the same time as they are received with perfect picture and audio quality.

The recorder converts the digital signal into a format that is suitable for your TV and sound system.

Connecting your recorder is just as simple as connecting for example a video recorder. You get the best picture quality by using a HDMI cable for connection to your TV-set. The best audio experience is obtained by connecting an optical cable to your sound system.

Coverage

Before buying this product it is anticipated that you have made sure that there are digital transmissions covering your region.

Antenna / Signal source

Depending on the reception your recorder may be connected to a simple indoor antenna or to an existing outdoor antenna system. If you live in a flat you should make sure that the digital terrestrial signals are distributed to your wall antenna outlet. If you have your own antenna system you must make sure that it is equipped with antennas, filter and/or amplifier that can handle those frequencies that the digital channels are transmitted on.

Cable-TV

Please observe that this recorder is not designed for the reception of regular digital cable-TV signals (QAM-signal). Despite this, operators of smaller cable networks may have chosen to distribute the digital terrestrial signals (COFDMsignal) in the network. In this case this recorder may well be used.

Check with your landlord if you are insecure about what type of TV-signal that is provided in the wall antenna outlet.

Component connection

Connect one end of the component(Y PB PR) cable to the COMPONENT OUTPUT jack on the unit and other end to the COMPONENT INPUT jack on your TV. Connect one ends of the audio cables (red and white) to the analog AUDIO OUTPUT jack on the unit and other ends to the AUDIO INPUT jack on your TV.

If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready” television, you may take advantage of the unit’s progressive scan output for the highest video resolution possible. If your TV does not accept the Progressive Scan format, the picture will appear scrambled with the progressive signal. Set the resolution to 576p using RES. button on the front panel to obtain the progressive signal.

HR403DAD-P.BCZELL-ENG 9/24/08 5:39 AM Page 11

S-Video connection

Connect one end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO OUTPUT jack on the unit and the other end to the S-Video INPUT jack on your TV. Connect one ends of the audio cables (red and white) to the analog AUDIO OUTPUT jack on the unit and the other ends to the AUDIO INPUT jack on your TV.

Digital audio connection

Connecting to an amplifier/receiver, Dolby Digital/MPEG/DTS decoder or other equipment with a digital input.

Connect one end of the digital audio cables (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) to the digital audio output jack (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) on the unit and other end to the digital audio input jack (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) on your amplifier.

This recorder does not perform internal (2 channel) decoding of a DTS sound track. To enjoy DTS multi channel surround, you must connect this recorder to a DTS compatible receiver via one of this recorder’s digital audio outputs.

HR403DAD-P.BCZELL-ENG 9/24/08 5:39 AM Page 12

HDMI connection

Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI OUTPUT jack on the unit and other end to the HDMI INPUT jack on your TV.

When you use the HDMI connection, you can change the resolution (576i, 576p, 720p,1080i or 1080p) for the HDMI output by pressing RES. button

repeatedly
