Connecting the digital input
for 5.1-channel recording
This recorder is equipped with a digital
audio input socket that can support 5.1-
channel recording. It allows you to
capture the original sound from digital
multi-channel sources such as the Cable
Box/Satellite Receiver, when you record
a video that produces the full cinema
sound experience (Dolby Digital 2.0, 5.1,
DTS surround or DTS EX).
A
Use a scart cable to connect the
EXT2 AUX-I/O socket on the recorder
to the Scart output socket (or labelled as
TV OUT or TO TV) on the Cable Box/
Satellite Receiver.
B
Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to
connect the COAXIAL IN on
the recorder to the DIGITAL or
COAXIAL output socket on the
connected Cable Box/Satellite Receiver.
5.1-channel surround sound output
from the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver can
be recorded onto this recorder, along
with the video.
TIPS: Before recording, you have to set the appropriate Audio Input setting, see page 85.
Otherwise, no sound or a loud noise may occur.
