If you use this connection, set the TV’s source selector to VIDEO.

Connecting to an Amplifier

Make one of the following connections, depending on the capabilities of your existing equipment.

Connecting to an Amplifier via 2 Channel Audio Output

Connect the Left and Right 2CH AUDIO OUT jacks (A) on the player to the audio left and right in jacks on your amplifier, receiver, or stereo system, using audio cables.

Connecting to an Amplifier via Digital Audio Output (Optical or Coaxial)

Connect the player’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack to the corresponding in jack (OPTICAL O or COAXIAL X) on your amplifier. Use an optional digital (optical O or coaxial X) audio cable. You will need to activate the unit’s digital output. (See “[Audio] Menu” on page 46.)

Connecting to an Amplifier via HDMI Output

Connect the unit HDMI OUT jack to the corresponding in jack on your amplifier. Use a HDMI cable (H1). You will need to activate the player’s digital output. (See “[Audio] Menu” on page 46.)

Digital Multi-channel sound

A digital multi-channel connection provides the best sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel Audio/Video Receiver that supports one or more of the audio formats supported by your player. Check the receiver manual and the logos on the front of the receiver. (LPCM, Dolby Digital and DTS)

Connect the amplifier’s HDMI output jack to HDMI input jack on your TV using a HDMI cable (H2) if your amplifier has HDMI output jack.

Amplifier/Receiver

This recorder can be connected to the local area network (LAN) via the LAN port or the wireless LAN adapter. Be sure to set the network configuration before using this recorder. You can use the wired and/or wireless network depending on your network environment.

Network connection

Wired network connection

Using a wired network provides the best performance, because the attached devices connect directly to the network and are not subject to radio frequency interference. Please refer to the documentation for your network device for further instructions. The following connection example explain how to connect to the internet using LAN cable. If you want to access content from PCs or DLNA servers, this recorder must be connected to the same local area network with them via a router.

 When plugging or unplugging the LAN cable, hold the plug portion of the cable. When unplugging, do not pull on the

LAN cable but unplug while pressing down on the lock.

 Do not connect a modular phone cable to the LAN port.

 Since there are various connection configurations, please follow the specifications of your telecommunication carrier

or internet service provider.

Wireless network connection

Another network connection is using the supplied wireless adapter. This recorder supports an IEEE 802.11n wireless module using supplied wireless LAN adapter, which also supports the

802.11b/g standards. For the best wireless performance, we recommend the use of a IEEE 802.11n certified Wi-Fi network (access point or wireless router).

Refer to the setup instructions supplied with your access point or wireless router for detailed connection steps and network settings.

The following connection example explain how to connect to the internet using an access point or wireless router. If you want to access content from PCs or DLNA servers, this recorder must be connected to the same local area network with them via a wireless network device.
