Connecting a recorder
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.
• If degraded picture quality is observed while viewing copy-
protected VOD movies connect the Media Receiver directly
to other TV sets. Do not connect through a VCR.
• Use only one wand on the G-LINK cable to control the
recorder.
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 Media Receiver. 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), connect the MONITOR OUT terminals (AUDIO) on the
rear of the Media Receiver to the audio input terminals on the
AV receiver.
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

• Audio signals synchronizing with currently displayed images
are always output to the MONITOR OUT terminals.
• The audio accompanying the images shown on the display
are always output to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal.
• When signals are input from the HDMI terminals, no digital
or analog signals are output from the DIGITAL OUT terminal.
