Connecting up 02 Connecting to an AV amplifier To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need to connect this recorder to an AV amplifier/receiver using the digital optical output. In addition to the digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog connection. You'll probably also want to connect a video output to your AV amplifier/receiver. Use the standard (composite) video output (as shown here), or the S-video or component video connections. See also Audio Out settings on page 75 for how to set up the digital audio output. (Noise may be output from your speakers if the recorder is not set up to work with your AV amplifier/receiver.) Important • Do not connect this recorder to your TV 'through' your VCR or other component using A/V cables. Always connect it directly to your TV.
