Enjoying through External Equipment 10 English Connecting a recorder If you connect recording equipment such as a VCR or a DVD recorder to the MONITOR OUT terminals on the rear of the Plasma Display, you can record, for example, digital TV programs using the recording equipment. For more details about recording, refer to the equipment's instructions. Video Cable (commercially available) DVD Recorder Audio Cable (commercially available) VCR • The MONITOR OUT terminals do not output the following signals: 1 Video and audio signals from the COMPONENT 1/2 terminals 2 Video and audio signals from the HDMI 1/2 terminals • When watching images played back on a VCR or DVD recorder connected to the MONITOR OUT terminals, select an input source (e.g., TV channel reception) on the recording equipment other than external input sources. Selecting an external input source may result in distorted images or noise. • The MONITOR OUT terminal may result in audio delay between the speaker and AUDIO. This may be reduced by muting the speakers on the Plasma Display. Nonetheless, you may experience delay between audio and video. • If degraded picture quality is observed while viewing copy-protected VOD movies connect the Plasma Display directly to other TV sets. Do not connect through a VCR. Connecting an AV receiver The digital audio output terminal (optical) on this system can output Dolby Digital signals. Using an optical digital cable, connect an AV receiver to the digital audio output terminal (optical) on the rear of the Plasma Display. This allows the reception of highquality audio such as digital TV broadcasts. If your AV receiver does not have a digital audio input terminal (optical), you may connect the MONITOR OUT terminals (AUDIO) on the rear of the Plasma Display to the audio input terminals on the AV receiver. However, this method may result in audio delay between the speakers and AUDIO, which may be reduced by muting the speakers on the Plasma Display. Nonetheless, you may experience delay between audio and video. OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT Optical Digital Cable (commercially available) AV receiver Switching the optical audio signal type See "Setting up External Digital Sound" on page 35. • When using the digital audio output terminal (optical), you need to make settings depending on your AV receiver. For more information, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the AV receiver. • When signals are input from the HDMI terminals, no digital or analog signals are output from the DIGITAL OUT terminal and MONITOR OUT terminals. • When signals are input from the COMPONENT terminals, no digital or analog signals are output from the DIGITAL OUT terminal and MONITOR OUT terminals. • When signals are input from the VIDEO terminals, no digital or analog signals are output from the DIGITAL OUT terminal. • When watching an analog TV channel, no digital or analog signals are output from the DIGITAL OUT terminal. 41 En
