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 trans-
ferred 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.
