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

Connecting up

Connecting to an AV amplifier

To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need to connect this recorder to an AV amplifier/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 amplifier/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 80 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 amplifier/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.

you can alternatively use the S-video or component
video connections if they're available.

convert from optical to coaxial are available at
specialist audio dealers.
