Notes
• Do not connect your TV's audio output jacks to the
LINE IN (R-AUDIO-L) jacks at the same time. This

speakers.
• In the connection A, do not connect the LINE IN (R-

connection, make the appropriate settings under
"Audio Connection" in "Easy Setup" (page 22).
Otherwise, no sound or a loud noise will come from
your speakers.
• With the connection B, the surround sound effects of
this recorder cannot be used.
• When you connect the recorder to an AV amplifer
(receiver) using an HDMI cord, you will need to do one
of the following:
– Connect the AV amplifier (receiver) to the TV with
the 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).

and corrosion. Do not touch the liquid with bare hands
should leakage occur. Observe the following:
– Do not use a new battery with an old battery, or
batteries of different manufacturers.
– Do not attempt to recharge the batteries.
– If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries.
– If battery leakage occurs, wipe out any liquid inside
the battery compartment, and insert new batteries.
• Do not expose the remote sensor (marked
front panel) to strong light, such as direct sunlight or
lighting apparatus. The recorder may not respond to the
