E. S-Video input
F. Video input
G. Audio input
H. SCART input
There are three kinds of video outputs available, namely Component Video, S-Video and Composite Video.
In terms of picture quality, Component Video is the best; S-Video comes next, while the Composite Video is
less satisfying. There is a scart output available also. A Composite Video (CVBS), a Component Video (RGB)
and audio (L & R) outputs are built into the scart output. When the scart output is used, none of the above-
mentioned cables are needed for connection.
Note: For Digital Cable and Satellite TV users please connect your decoder’s output to the relevant input on
the recorder.

Connecting To A 5.1 Channel Dolby Digital Audio Amplifier
You can enjoy 5.1-channel Dolby Digital audio by connecting the recorder to an amplifier-and-speakers
system with 5.1 Channel Dolby Digital Audio. Dolby Digital programs can deliver surround sound with up to
five discrete full-range channels, Left, Centre, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround—plus a sixth channel for
powerful low-frequency effects (LFE). As it needs only about one-tenth the bandwidth of the others, the LFE
channel is referred to as a ".1" channel (and sometimes erroneously as the "subwoofer" channel).
A. Ordinary Cable (Analogue Output)
B. 5.1 Channel Amplifier
Connecting to a Dolby Digital (or DTS) Decoder Amplifier
You can enjoy the completely-reproduced 5.1-channel Dolby Digital audio (or DTS audio) effect by
