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.

Basic TV connection

CAUTION:

• Connect the VCR/DVD directly to the TV. Do not connect the VCR/DVD to a VCR, then connect the VCR to the TV. Copyright protection in the VCR could distort the picture playing on the VCR/DVD.

Analogue audio connection

Digital audio connection

You can make this connection using either a coaxial digital cable or an optical digital cable.

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. Audio CDs recorded in the DTS format cannot be transferred digitally or via analogue.

•DVD DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound, DTS 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 “DPCM” (see page 27 “Audio Settings”). Analogue recording is possible but not for DTS recorded audio.

Playing Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), DTS or MPEG audio

Connecting an amplifier with a Dolby Digital/ DTS/ MPEG Audio digital surround processor to your VCR/DVD’s coaxial digital jack provides richer and more powerful audio play.

Digital connection to a processor or amplifier with an optical/ coaxial digital input jack

You can make this connection using either a coaxial digital cable or an optical digital cable.
