z Hints
• For correct speaker location, see the operating
instructions supplied with the connected components.
• Digital audio signal can also be output when playing a
VHS tape.
Notes
• During DVD recording, you cannot hear VHS sound
by pressing VIDEO, as the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jacks or HDMI OUT jack will output DVD audio
signals only.
• After you have completed the connection, make the
appropriate settings in Easy Setup (page 23). If your
AV amplifier (receiver) has an MPEG audio decoder
function, set “Digital Out” – “MPEG” to “MPEG” in
the “Audio” setup (page 105). Otherwise, no sound or
a loud noise will come from your speakers.
• With a coaxial or optical digital connection, you cannot
use the virtual surround effects of this recorder.
• When outputting from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jacks, you cannot switch the bilingual sounds on a
DVD-RW (VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode) by
pressing AUDIO.
• When you connect the recorder to an AV amplifier
(receiver) using an HDMI cord, you will need to do one
of the following:
– Connect the AV amplifier (receiver) to the TV with
an HDMI cord.
– Connect the recorder to the TV with a video cord
other than HDMI cord (component video cord,
S VIDEO cord, or audio/video cord).
