Connecting to an audio system
You can enjoy multichannel surround-sound such as 5.1 channel by connecting to an amplifier
compatible with Dolby Digital and DTS sound.
Connections
• For connection to your TV, see
pages 14 to 17.
• For details of output sound, see
page 112 in “OPERATIONS GUIDE”.
Notes
• DO NOT connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL jack of the recorder to the AC-3 RF input of a Dolby Digital Receiver.
This input on your A/V Receiver is reserved for Laserdisc use only and is incompatible with the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
COAXIAL jack of the recorder.
• Connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL jack of the recorder to the “COAXIAL” input of a receiver or processor.
• Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment as well.
• When you connect the recorder to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the
wall outlet before any connections.
• The output sound of the recorder has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the audio amplifier’s volume to a moderate
listening level. Otherwise, the speakers and your hearing may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.
• Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the recorder’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the
speakers may be damaged.
CAUTION
• When you are connecting (via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL jack) an AV decoder that does not have Dolby
Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS) or MPEG2 decoding function, be sure to set “Audio out select” to “PCM” from the
on-screen displays (
page 40). Otherwise, high volume sound may damage your hearing as well as the speakers.
• When playing DTS-encoded discs (DVD video discs and audio CDs), excessive noise may be output from the analog
stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, you should take proper precautions when the AV OUT
AUDIO (L/R) jacks of the recorder are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround
®
playback,
an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround
®
decoder system must be connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
COAXIAL jack of the recorder.
