Connecting to an audio system
You can enjoy high quality dynamic sounds by connecting the recorder to an audio system.
Connections
• For connection to your TV, see pages 14 to 15, 20.
• For details of output sound, see page 75 of
“OPERATIONS”.
• This section uses the following reference marks.
Notes
• DO NOT connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
BITSTREAM/PCM 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 OUTPUT
BITSTREAM/PCM jack of the recorder.
• Connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT BITSTREAM/PCM
jack of the recorder to the “OPTICAL” or “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.
Warning
• When you are connecting (via the DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUT BITSTREAM/PCM 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 42). 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 analog audio out (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 OUTPUT
BITSTREAM/PCM jack of the recorder.
