causing serious injury to a child, an adult, or da m a ge to the unit. Mounting of the unit should follow the
manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufactur er.
9. VENTILATION: Slots and openin g s in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the
unit and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The top or bottom panel
openings should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The unit should
not be installed in a built-in location such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should
be free space of at least 6 inches (16cm) above the unit and an opening behind the unit.
10. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION: The unit may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should fail to fit, contact
a licensed electrician to replace your obsolete ou tlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
11. POWER SOURCES: The unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your unit dealer or local power
company.
12. POWER CORD PROTECTION: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay close attention to cords where they enter a plug, or a convenience
receptacle, and the point where they exit from the unit.
13.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING: If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, NSI/NFPA 70, provides information regarding proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an Antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge u nit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.

for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.
15. POWER LINES: An outside antenna system should not b e located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touc hing such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
16. OVERLOADING: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: Never push objects of any kind into the unit through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the unit.
18. SERVICING: Do not attempt to service the uni t yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. REPLACEMENT PARTS: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electr ic shock or other hazards.
20. SAFETY CHECK: Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
To accommodate a wide range of home entertainment systems, this player features numerous
types of connections for both audio and video. Please continue reading this section for help
determining the best possible connections for your system.
BEFORE CONNECTING
Read the instruction manuals of any component that you plan to connect to the DVD 7 player.
For all components, turn the power off and unplug them from the wall outlet before making any
connections.
Connect the DVD 7 player to the TV directly. If you connect the DVD 7 player to a VCR, TV/VCR
combination, or video selector, the playback picture may be distorted as DVD Video images are
copy protected.
Please note that video connections to a TV or monitor are necessary because some discs require
on-screen menu interaction before they can be played.
CONNECTIONS TO A TV
Using the Audio/Video Connection Cable
Using the audio/video cable (Three RCA cables with left and right audio plus one video cable,
not included), make audio connections from the ANALOG OUTPUT L and R jacks to the
corresponding audio input jacks on the TV. In the same manner, make the composite video
connection from the VIDEO OUTPUT video jack to the corresponding video input jack on the TV.
Be sure to set Audio Setup > Speaker Setup Select to "Movie Stereo" using the on-screen setup
menu.
Note: Be sure to match the colors of the plugs on the cable with the corresponding
jacks on the DVD 7 player and the TV: yellow for composite video, red for R (right)
audio and white for L (left) audio.
OPTIONAL VIDEO CONNECTIONS
Visible improvement in video quality, when compared to composite video connections, can be
achieved by making either S-Video or component video connections to a TV or monitor
compatible with these connections. When either S-Video or component video connections are
made, it is not necessary to make composite video connections using the yellow cord of the
audio-video cable.
Making Component Video Connections (Interlaced)
If the TV or monitor has interlaced component video inputs, making this type of video
connection will produce the ideal picture quality for the presentation of DVD video. Using a
component video cable (not included), connect the interlaced VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT
jacks to the corresponding component video input jacks on the TV. Actual labels for
component video inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer. (E.g. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y,
CB, CR) Component video cables are typically designated with red (R), blue (B), and green
(G) color bands to show how to correctly connect them to the player and the TV.
9
MAKING CONNECTIONS
In some TVs or monitors, the colors levels of the playback picture may be reduced slightly or
the tint may change. In such a case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance. Be
sure to set Audio Setup > Speaker Setup Select to "Movie Stereo" using the on-scre en menu.
Making Component Video Connections (Progressive)
Some TVs or video monitors are equipped with Progressive Scan component video inputs
(with BNC Connectors) that are capable of reproducing a progressively scanned video signal.
Connecting to these inputs allows you to view the highest quality picture with less flicker.
Please ensure that the Red, Blue, and Green designated cables are correctly connected by
matching colors at the DVD player and at the TV connections. Component video connections
offer the best video playback for many TVs.
Making S-Video Connections
If the TV or monitor has an S-video input, making this type of video connection will produce
improved picture quality over a composite video connection. Using an S-video cable, connect
the VIDEO OUTPUT S-Video jack to the corresponding S-video input jack on the TV. Be sure
to set Audio Setup Speaker Setup Select to "Movie Stereo" using the on-screen menu.
OPTIONAL AUDIO CONNECTIONS
The DVD 7 player provides numerous ways to take full advantage of the digital multi-channel
sound recorded on DVD media.
When listening to CD Audio
For full enjoyment of CD Audio media, it is recommended to make connections from the Left
and Right ANALOG OUTPUT jacks to the Left and Right DVD or CD player input connections
on your preamplifier, AV Receiver or surround processor.
Making Stereo Audio Connections
By making connections to a stereo system, you can improve the quality of the sound of
cinematic presentations as well as make effective use of the DVD player's ability to playback
CDs. Using an audio cable (sold separately), make audio connections from the ANALOG
OUTPUT L and R jacks to the corresponding jacks on the stereo component.
Note: Be sure to match the colors of the plugs on the cable with the corresponding
jacks on the DVD player and the stereo component: red for Right audio and white for
Left audio. Do not make connections to the PHONO input jacks on the stereo
component, as it is not compatible with regular line level inputs.
Digital Connections
Make digital connections from the DVD player to an AV component that features digital input
capability or one or more multi-channel audio decoders to realize the full cinematic
experience made possible by the DVD format. This DVD player features one set each of an
optical and a coaxial digital audio output jack and can output Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM bit
streams. Make connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL (Toslink) jacks to the digital
optical input jack on the AV component using an optical fiber cable (sold separately). Make
connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL jacks to the digital coaxial input jack on the
AV component using a coaxial cable (sold separately). It is not necessary to make more than
one type of digital connection to a single component, when you are making connections to
an amp or receiver that has internal Dolby Digital or DTS decoding capabilities.
