Do not connect the recorder to your TV using
both a SCART cable and an HDMI cable.
Do not connect more than one type of video
cable between the recorder and your TV at the
same time.
When you connect the recorder to your TV via
the SCART jacks, the TV’s input source is set to
the recorder automatically when you start
playback. If necessary, press the TV t button
on the remote to return the input to the TV.
You cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI
jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI
jacks on PC displays).
Component progressive signals are not output
when using the HDMI connection.
Do not connect your TV’s audio output jacks to
the LINE 2 IN (R-AUDIO-L) jacks at the same
time. This will cause unwanted noise to come
from your TV’s speakers.
When connecting to the audio L/R input jacks,
do not connect the LINE 2 IN (R-AUDIO-L) and
LINE 2 OUT (R-AUDIO-L) jacks to your TV’s
audio output jacks at the same time. This will
cause unwanted noise to come from your TV’s
speakers.
When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack or
DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack, after you
have completed the connection, make the
appropriate settings in the “Audio Out” setup
(page 95). Otherwise, no sound or a loud noise
will come from your speakers.
