Connecting to an AV
amplifier/receiver
To enjoy multichannel surround sound you
need to connect this recorder to an AV
amplifier/receiver using the digital coaxial
output.
In addition to a digital connection, we
recommend also connecting using the
stereo analog connection for compatibility
with all discs and sources.
You'll probably also want to connect a video
output to your AV amplifier/receiver. Use the
connector
ordinary video output (as shown here), or the
S-video output.

'through' your VCR using A/V cables.
Always connect it directly to your TV.
