There are two ways you can access the digital audio.
HDMI
The stereo audio is transmitted to your TV set via the HDMI interface. If your TV set also supports Dolby
Digital, you can also receive the Dolby Digital audio via the HDMI interface (providing it is broadcast
by the channel provider). Refer to the operating instructions for your TV set for more information.
SPDIF Dolby Digital output (electrical/optical)
The SPDIF outputs are intended for the connection of a Dolby Digital system (see “Advanced connection
example” in the technical appendix). Connect the SPDIF output (electrical or optical) to the Dolby Digital
system using an appropriate cable.
If you want to play the sound on your hi- f system, connect the audio cinch sockets to the input sockets
on the hi- f system, using an appropriate cable (see “Advanced connection example” in the technical
appendix).
SPDIF = Sony Philips Digital Interface Format (digital output for Dolby Digital AC 3 audio)
Connect the satellite receiver (VCR/AUX Scart socket) to the video recorder/DVR using a Scart cable.
To play back a DVD, i.e. output the signal from the DVR through the receiver on the TV set, the TV set
must also be connected to the receiver with a Scart cable. This is necessary because the video signal
from the VCR Scart socket of the receiver is not looped through/forwarded to the HDMI output of
the receiver.

If you make a recording with an external video/DVD recorder, note the following:
- If the receiver is started automatically by means of a timer recording, there will be no image on your
TV set or recorder. You will have to switch on the receiver manually using the Standby button (on/off)
as well!
- If the receiver is operated while recording is in progress, all on-screen displays will be recorded as
well!
