Connecting To An Av Amplifier Or Receiver - Pioneer DVR-310 Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting up

Connecting to an AV amplifier or receiver

To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need to connect this recorder to an AV amp/receiver using the digital
optical output. In addition to the digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog
connection.
You'll probably also want to connect a video output to your AV amp/receiver. Use the standard (composite) video
output (as shown here), or the S-video or component video connections.
See also Audio Out Settings on page 70 for how to set up the digital audio output. (Noise may be output from your
speakers if the recorder is not set up to work with your AV amp/receiver.)
Important
• Do not connect this recorder to your TV 'through' your VCR or other component using A/V cables. Always connect
it directly to your TV.
1 Connect RF antenna cables as shown.
This enables you to watch and record TV channels.
2 Connect the AUDIO and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks (1
or 2) on this recorder to a set of audio/video inputs
on your AV amp/receiver.
Note
1. If your AV amp/receiver doesn't have an optical digital input, but has a coaxial type, converter boxes that convert from optical to coaxial are
available at specialist audio dealers.
