ConnectionsConnections

Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or amplifier.

Before making connections

Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made. Connect VIDEO OUT of the player directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the player to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem. You may also have a monitor problem when connecting the player to an integrated TV/Video system.

Preparations

NOTE

In the following description, "TV" may be substituted with "monitor" of "projector". Terminal names used for other components may be different from those used in the following description.

Connecting to a TV

The following sections to describe TV connections where only a TV is connected to the player so that you will hear sound also from the TV.

Connecting to a conventional TV

Connect the Composite video output of the player to the video input of TV. Connect the 2 Channel Downmix Audio outputs to the audio inputs of TV.

Connecting to a TV with an S-Video jack

If your TV has a S-VIDEO input, you can get better picture quality by connecting it with the S-VIDEO output of the player using an S-video cable instead of connecting the composite video input of the TV to the composite video output of the player.

NOTES

When using the S-VIDEO output jack, do not connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player.

Connecting to a TV with component jacks

If your TV has COMPONENT video inputs, you can enjoy picture of high-fidelity color reproduction by connecting it with COMPONENT video outputs of the player..

NOTES

Connect "Y" to "Y", "PB" to "PB" (CB), "PR" to "PR" (CR) correctly. When using the COMPONENT video output, do not connect the S-VIDEO output of the player.

Progressive scan video playback available

In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers. The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect the player and TV using COMPONENT video. See “Selecting preferences” at page 17 for more details.

Connecting to optional audio equipment

Connecting to a stereo audio amplifier / receiver

Connect the player's 2 Channel Downmix audio outputs (ML, MR) to any line-level inputs (such as AUX, DVD, CD, etc.) of an audio amplifier or receiver.

Connecting to Analog 5.1 Channel Dolby amplifier / receiver

Connect the player's Analog 5.1 Channel Dolby audio outputs (FL, FR, SUB, SL, SR, CEN) to an amplifier or receiver with

5.1 Channel Analog audio inputs.

Connecting to a digital audio device

You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the player's DIGITAL (either OPTICAL or COAXIAL) audio outputs to a digital audio input of an amplifier or receiver, using an optical or coaxial digital cable. The digital audio signal including the Dolby Digital or DTS signal on a disc will be transferred directly from the player.

NOTE

Connect the player and the digital audio device by using either an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable. It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing. When recording the sounds(DVD VIDEO, Video CD or Audio CD) played back on the player, record them through the analog (2 Channels or 5.1 Channels) outputs. Depending on the disc, no signal may come out from the DIGITAL outputs. Make an analog connection in this case.

Set SPDIF OUTPUT in the AUDIO SETUP correctly according to the connected digital audio equipment. If setting made for SPDIF OUTPUT is incorrect, loud noise may be generated causing damage to the speakers.

NOTES

There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that are not fully compatible with the player, resulting in the unnatural picture when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc in the Progressive scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced scanning mode.
