12 Enjoying through External Equipment Connecting a recorder Plasma Display (rear view) Viewed from below of the Plasma Display G-LINK cable (supplied) AV cable (commercially available) Connecting other audio equipment 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 audio such as digital TV broadcasting to be played in high quality. 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. NOTE • When using the digital audio output terminal (optical), you need to make settings depending on your AV receiver. For more information, see the instruction manual that came with the AV receiver. Connecting an AV receiver Plasma Display (rear view) VCR NOTE • About the MONITOR OUT terminals The MONITOR OUT terminals cannot output the following signals: 1 Video signals input from the COMPONENT VIDEO terminal 2 Video signals from a personal computer 3 Digital video and audio signals from the HDMI terminals • When watching images played back on a VCR 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. • Make sure to place the VCR into the standby status when presetting TV programs for recording with the TV Guide On Screen™ system. • 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 copyprotected VOD movies connect the Plasma Display directly to other TV sets.
