Connecting up 02 Connecting to an AV amplifier or receiver To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need to connect this recorder to an AV amp/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 amp/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 98 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 amp/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.

This enables you to listen to multichannel surround sound. 4 Connect the AV amp/receiver's video output to a video input on your TV. Note • The diagram shows standard video connections, but you can alternatively use the S-video or component video connections if they're available. • If your AV amp/receiver doesn't have an optical digital input, but has a coaxial type, converter boxes that convert from optical to coaxial are available at specialist audio dealers. 19 En
