Advanced Audio Connection Information

Both Dolby Digital® and DTS® are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the digital track of fi lm (while the fi lm is being made). Both of these formats
provide up to six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer. The disc will play 5.1-channel sound only if you've connected a DTS or
Dolby Digital receiver or decoder, and if the disc is encoded in the Dolby Digital or DTS format.
Please Read This Before Using the DIGITAL AUDIO Jack!
This unit's digital audio output jack is designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder. Older digital equipment may not be compatible
with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or speakers.
It is important to choose the correct Digital Output setting in the System Options menu. For more information, go to page 46.
Connecting your DVD Recorder to an audio/video receiver
You'll need to consult instructions that came with your audio video receiver in order to connect it properly. The information below provides general
guidelines for the DVD recorder's Audio Output Jacks.
For a basic connection, connect the left and right audio cables to your audio/video receiver and to the OUTPUT AUDIO L (left – white) and R (right – red) jacks on the
back of your DVD recorder.
If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, connect an optical cable (SPDIF) to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on the DVD recorder and the Digital Audio Input jack on
the receiver (cables not supplied with DVD recorder). You must also adjust the Digital Output setting (go to page 46 for information).
