What Type of Video Connection Do You Have?

There are three ways that your DVD-Player can be connected to your TV or
other video display devices:

Composite- RCA-A/V Connection

S-Video (Super Video)

This type of connection is common with more recent models of TV s. S-Video
connections significantly increase the quality of the video signal compared to

an RCA A/V connection. This results in improved color reproduction and a
reduction in video noise that is common with other types of video
connections.

This type of connection is common with most TV s. An RCA A/V connector
cable is included with your T342 DVD Player. It provides less video and
sound quality than S-Video or Component Output connections, but it still
provides a good signal. The connectors on this cable are red/white (audio)
and yellow (video).

Getting Started

21

An S-Video connector cable is not included with your DVD Player, but S-Video
connector cables are available in most home electronic stores.

Check your television or video display device to see which type of video
connection it supports. The following instructions will guide you in setting
up the type of video connection you choose.

Component Video Output

Component Video Output connections are for use with high quality TV s, such
as Plasma screen models, and other advanced video display devices. It
provides near-perfect digital picture.

Output connections can only be used when there is a dedicated Component
Input on the TV or video display device. A Component Video connector cable
is not included with your DVD Player, but Component Video Output cables are
available in most home electronic stores. The Component Video connector
cable has three separate video cables: green, blue, and red.

22

Customer Service 1 626 968 6860

Video Connection

Always:

1.

Be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the
wall outlet before making any connections.

2. Refer to the instructions supplied with the TV or video display device to
be connected.

3. Do not connect this player to a video deck. If you do, noise may appear
in the picture.

23

What Type of Audio Connection Do You Have?

The T342 DVD Player provides multi-channel sound for a total home cinema
experience. If you own a home theater speaker system, this multi-channel
sound (front left and right, center, back left and right, and sub-woofer)
produces sound from 5 or more speakers spread around your room to
produce amazing sound effects.

There are three different types of audio connections available:

Direct Audio Connection to your TV

If your TV has RCA A/V inputs, the red (right) and white (left) cable inputs
provide the stereo sound to your TV. Refer to the RCA A/V Video connection
illustration on the previous page.

If your TV offers only one audio input, you would use only the white plug on
the RCA A/V cable to provide mono sound through both speakers.

If you don't own a home theater speaker system, you can still enjoy high
quality sound through your TV or stereo speakers, but the sound quality will
be in stereo (left and right audio signals only).

27

Direct Audio Connection to your Stereo Receiver (Stereo Sound)

If your stereo receiver has an available RCA A/V input then you will be able to connect to the DVD
Player. If your stereo receiver is close enough to your TV then you can use the same RCA A/V cable
used to make the video connection from your DVD Player to your TV.

If you do not have sufficient length on the RCA A/V cable used to make the video connection from
your DVD Player to your TV, then you will need to use an additional cable.

Direct Audio Connection to your Stereo Receiver (Dolby Digital 2 / 5.1 Sound)

Dolby Digital 2 / 5.1 Sound provides higher clarity and expanded audio features because it supports
multiple audio channels (not just Right and Left as with Stereo signals) within a single digital signal.

This type of connection requires a stereo receiver with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder that will accept
the multi-channel digital signal. If your stereo receiver supports a Dolby Digital 2 or 5.1 connection,
then you will need to use a Coaxial Digital Connection cable (not included).

Check your television or stereo receiver to see which type of audio connection it supports.
The instructions below will guide you in setting up the type of audio connection you choose.

Getting Started

28

Customer Service 1 626 968 6860

Audio Connection

Always:

1.

Be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the
wall outlet before making any connections.

2. Make sure to turn off the receiver before you connect or disconnect the
DVD player s power cord. If you leave the receiver power on, the speak
ers may be damaged.

3. The output sound of the DVD player has a wide dynamic range. Be sure
to adjust the receiver s volume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise,
the speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.

4. Refer to the instructions supplied with the TV or video display device to
be connected.

Viewing Images

What is JPEG?

JPEG is a widely used file format for still image compression. Files such as
photographs, drawings, and most clip-art can be saved this way, greatly
reducing a files size (loss of quality varies). Most digital cameras record
images as JPEG files. JPEG files can be recorded onto a CD for viewing on this
DVD player, a computer, or the web.

Viewing an image:

NORMAL SLIDE SHOW PRESENTATION : When a JPEG disc is loaded into the
player, a menu will appear on screen. From the Play Mode shown on the
menu, select the FOLDER option using the direction keys. Each picture in the
current directory will be displayed consecutively in a slideshow presentation
and will be automatically displayed using the largest size that fits your
television screen. Sixteen slideshow "transition" modes are provided. Use
the program button to select one.

NOTE : FROM THE PLAYMODE SHOWN ON TH E MENU YOU MAY ALSO PRESS
THE "REPEAT" KEY TO ENTER SINGLE PICTURE VIEWING.

MIRROR, LEFT, and RIGHT. These operations are allowed only when a

the next picture is displayed (press NEXT or PR EV). The arrow keys are used
to select the different rotation modes:

UP- Mirror/Vertical
DOWN - Mirror/Horizontal
LEFT- Turn left
RIGHT - Turn right

ZOOM : This featur es allows you to view a picture at 50%-200% in several
increments. Press the ZOOM button. An on-screen message (" Zoom 100% ")

59

Special Operation

What is Progressive Scan?

Progressive scanning, otherwise known as 480P (p=progressive), creates a picture
signal with double the scan lines of a conventional interlaced picture, 480I
(I=interlaced), to create a noticeably sharper image. The 480P image offers higher
picture resolution and eliminates virtually all motion artifacts. Even on large screens,
the progressive scan lines are barely noticeable and picture flickering is greatly
reduced, so you can enjoy extended viewing without eye fatigue. (Our deluxe DVD
model is progressive scan compatable.)

Angle

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which
have been simultaneously shot from a number
of different angles (the same scene is shot from
the front, from the left side, from the right side,
etc) With such discs, the ANGLE button can be
used to view the scene from different angles.

Chapter Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title
is subdivided into many sections, each of which is
numbered, and specific parts of video present­ations can be searched quickly by using these
numbers.

DVD

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which
high-quality pictures and sound have been rec­orded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a
new video compression technology (MPEG 2) and
high-density recording technology, DVD enables
aesthetically pleasing full-motion video to be
recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a
whole movie can be recorded. ) DVD has a struc­ture consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs that are
adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc,
the higher the density at which the information can
be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity
than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin
discs are adhered to each other, there is the pot­ential to achieve double-sided play sometime in
the future for even longer duration play.

from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to
find a specific scene quickly. (It may not work with
some discs.)

Title Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When

a disc contains two or mor e movies, these movies

are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

CSS

the data scrambling method used to garble the
content of a DVD disc. According to most sources,
CSS was put into use for the purpose of ensuring

that copyrighted material placed in this format
would only be usable with licensed DVD playback
mechanisms.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is an advanced form of digital audio
coding that makes it possible to store and transmit
high-quality digital sound far more efficiently than
was previously possible. First used in movie thea­ters in 1992, it is the result of decades spent by
Dolby Laboratories developing signalprocessing
systems that exploit the characteristics of human
hearing.

Dolby Digital 5.1 Channel

At the option of their producers, Dolby Digital
programs can deliver surround sound with two
discrete range channels-left and right.

CSS stands for "Content Scramble System". It is
