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

CAUTION:

• Be sure to turn off the VCR/DVD and equipment to be connected before connecting.

• Read through the operation manual for the equipment to be connected.

• Be sure to keep the VCR/DVD connection cables separate from the TV antenna cable when you install the VCR/DVD, because it may cause electrical interference when you are watching television programmes.

• DTS audio cannot be produced with an analogue connection.

C Analogue audio connection

Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD

Some Audio CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks.When sound from discs such as these is digitally recorded by connecting the VCR/DVD directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD recorder), the music may be recorded continuously and track numbers may be lost.

Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Recorder without a Dolby Digital Decoder

• Audio CD Audio CDs can be transferred digitally to other equipment such as an MD recorder, play the disc as you would normally with the audio mode set to “L+R” and use the connection shown above.

•DVD DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound or MPEG Audio cannot be connected digitally to external recording equipment such as an MD recorder. The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD recorder. It may be possible to record Dolby Digital or MPEG Audio via a digital connection if the VCR/DVD output is set to “OFF” for “DOLBY DIGITAL” or “MPEG” (see page 17 “Audio Settings”).

Connecting to Audio Equipment

Connecting the VCR/DVD to audio equipment provides normal stereo sound, plus powerful stereo sound enhanced by Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound and MPEG Audio.

• Digital connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to connect does not have an coaxial digital input jack.

• When the VCR/DVD is connected to a TV using both a VIDEO cable and an SVIDEO cable, only the S-VIDEO connection is enabled (the VIDEO connection is disabled).

•You will not be able to hear all of the sound being output by the VCR/DVD if you use the VIDEO/AUDIO cable (supplied) to a monaural TV that has only one AUDIO input jack.

Notes: – Be sure that the colours of the

jacks and plugs match up when connecting the cable.

– Connect the VCR/DVD directly

to the TV. If you attempt to view video on a TV connected via a VCR, the copy protection function will scramble the picture.

– If you want to listen to the

audio through audio equipment, connect only the S-VIDEO or VIDEO cable to the TV.
