Connecting to Audio Equipment
Connecting the VCR/DVD to audio equipment provides normal stereo sound,plus powerful stereo sound enhanced by Dolby Digital multi channel
surround sound and MPEG Audio.
• Digital connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to connect does not have an coaxial digital input jack.
• When the VCR/DVD is connected to a
TV using both a VIDEO cable and an S-
VIDEO cable,only the S-VIDEO
connection is enabled (the VIDEO
connection is disabled).
•You will not be able to hear all of the
sound being output by the VCR/DVD if
you use the VIDEO/AUDIO cable
(supplied) to a monaural TV that has
only one AUDIO input jack.
Notes:
– Be sure that the colours of the
jacks and plugs match up when
connecting the cable.
– Connect the VCR/DVD directly
to the TV.If you attempt to view
video on a TV connected via a
VCR,the copy protection
function will scramble the
picture.
– If you want to listen to the
audio through audio equipment,
connect only the S-VIDEO or
VIDEO cable to the TV.
