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). On this issue refer to the operating instructions for your TV set.
SPDIF Dolby Digital output (optical)
The SPDIF output is intended for the connection of a Dolby Digital system (see "Advanced connection
example" in the technical appendix). Connect the SPDIF output and the Dolby Digital system using an
appropriate cable.
If you want to play the sound on your hi-fi system, connect the audio cinch sockets to the input sockets
on the hi-fi system, using an appropriate cable (see "Advanced connection example" in the technical
appendix).
Connect the receiver (TV Scart socket) to the video recorder/PVR using a Scart cable (necessary only if
the TV set and receiver are not already connected using a Scart cable).
For system reasons, the same video signals are present at both the TV Scart socket and also the video
cinch output.

Analogue
If you are recording to an external video recorder/DVD, remember not to operate the receiver
during recording, otherwise all the on-screen displays will appear on your recording.
During recording with a video/DVD recorder, no channel may be viewed other than the one being
recorded. Only if the recording is on to a USB hard disk can any other channel be viewed.
If the receiver is started by means of a timer recording, there will be no picture on your TV set.
Only when the standby button (On/Off) is pressed will a TV picture be visible or the receiver begin
operation.
