Note
• When you record a TV programme from a Satellite 
Box, you must connect a Scart cable to 
AV2(DECODER). (See page 38.)
• If the external equipment connected to the 
AV2(DECODER) socket supplies control voltage to 
this unit via Pin 8 of the Scart cable, the display 
functions (e.g.P01) of the remote control cannot be 
seen on the TV. In this case, turn off the external 
equipment to prevent control voltage.
Recording from a camcorder or other 
Audio-Video equipment with no Scart output 
socket (AV3)
If no S-Video input jack is available, connect to 
VIDEO input jack on the front panel using an RCA 
Video cable.
Set “S-Video In” when using S-VIDEO input jack. 
(See page 48.)
Digital audio for better sound quality 
(only for HDD / DVD)
The connections illustrated above are 
optional for better sound.
1 For clear digital sound quality, use 
the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) 
jack to connect your digital audio 
equipment.
If the audio format of the digital output does not 
match the capabilities of your receiver, the 
receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound or 
no sound at all.
Connecting a Dolby Digital™ decoder, DTS 
decoder or MPEG decoder
• Connecting Multi-channel Dolby Digital decoder 
allows you to enjoy the Multi-channel Dolby Digital 
surround system as well as DTS decoder, Multi-
channel surround system.

“Dolby Digital” to “Stream” in “Audio Out”. (See page 
85.) 
• After connecting to a DTS decoder, set “DTS” to 
“On” in “Audio Out”. (See page 85.) 
• After connecting to a MPEG decoder, set “MPEG” to 
“Stream” in “Audio Out”. (See page 85.) 
Connecting to an MD deck or DAT deck
• The audio source recorded in Dolby Digital Multi-
channel surround format cannot be recorded using 
an MD or DAT deck as a digital sound.
• If not connected to a Dolby Digital decoder, set 
“Dolby Digital” to “PCM” in “Audio Out” (see page 
85). Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings 
may generate noise distortion, and damage

external input channel. For details, refer to the 
Owner’s Manual of your TV.
