Advanced Connections

If your TV or VCR has an S-video connector, you can connect
your recorder to it with a suitable S-Video cable. 

You can also connect your recorder to an external audio
amplifier with suitable cables. You can choose between analogue
audio or digital audio outputs.

More/Advanced Connections

The diagram on page 

14

shows a connection method that includes a VCR. The supplied Accessory

cables allow rapid connections to the TV only, in order to get you going as quickly and easily as
possible. But should you wish to adopt the more advanced connections shown in the diagrams,
please purchase additional leads as explained below.

Archiving off the DTR onto a VCR or other recorder

Use a scart lead to link the 

VCR SCART

socket on your DTR to the

AV

1

/EXT

1

/AUX

1

socket of your VCR. This connection will allow you to

archive to a permanent media. If your VCR supports auto-start recording,
then the DTR will control the VCR automatically.

Connection to a Hi-Fi system

Use a pair of stereo coaxial phono leads to connect the 

L/R AUDIO OUT

socket on your DTR to the 

L/R AUDIO IN

on your Hi-Fi unit. This will allow

you to hear higher quality sound through your Hi-Fi. 

NOTE

: Audio sockets are generally identified by colour. White for Left and Red for Right. 

Coaxial connection to an Audio Visual Amplifier

To get even better sound from your DTR, use a digital audio phono lead to
connect from the 

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

socket on your DTR to the 

DIGITAL

AUDIO IN

on your AV amplifier.

S-Video connection to a TV, Plasma Display or Projector

The scart connection to a TV provides the best picture as RGB
(Red,Green,Blue separately), but some types of display device don’t have a
scart socket. In this case, either an adaptor should be purchased, or connect
an S-Video lead from the 

S-VIDEO OUT

on your DTR to the 

S-VIDEO IN

on your TV, Plasma display or projector. This will also give a

high quality picture, but you must make a separate audio connection, as the
cable doesn’t carry sound.

How to connect the aerial and scart cables

ALWAYS UNPLUG ALL YOUR EQUIPMENT FROM THE MAINS BEFORE

MAKING CONNECTIONS
