external monitor can also be connected to the AV OUT terminals. Connect the VCR as shown below.
Notes:
• This unit contains Video and Audio Outputs for the purpose of recording television programming to VCR. Due to license 
restrictions, if a device (STB, DVD, etc.) is connected to the HDMI input of the unit, no video or audio output is allowed.
• AV OUT signal is available when receiving digital channel. However, all formats will be down converted to NTSC.
• Never connect the VIDEO IN and OUT terminals to the same video recorder, as this could cause incorrect operation.
• Even if unit is in Split mode, OUT terminals only output the main picture and sound signals. A sub-picture, etc., will not be output.
• AV terminals will not output COMPONENT VIDEO, PC/HDMI IN or SD card signals.
• Certain program content output from the AV OUT connector may have the copy protection modification applied to its signal, 
preventing VCRs from recording this video signal.

  Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound delivers digital-quality sound. Dolby Digital provides five discrete 
full-bandwidth channels for front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right, plus a LFE (Low Frequency 
Effect) subwoofer channel. For a full Home Theater sound experience, an external Dolby Digital decoder and a 
multichannel amplifier must be connected to the Digital Audio Out jack on the unit.

Connect the Digital Audio cable from the Digital Audio 
Out jack on the unit to the Digital Audio In connection on 
the Dolby Digital decoder.
Notes:
• When ATSC channel is selected, the output from the Digital 
Audio Out jack will be Dolby Digital. But, if NTSC channel is 
selected, the output will be  PCM.
• Depending on your DVD player and DVD-Audio software the 
copyright protection function may operate and disable optical 
output.
