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.

jacks, you cannot switch the bilingual sounds on a
DVD-RW (VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode) by
