1. DIGITAL OUT Jacks

Use either an optical or coaxial digital cable to connect to an AV amplifier with a built-in decoder (AV control centre).

2. HDMI OUT Jack

Use an HDMI connection cable (commercially available) to connect to a display with an HDMI compatible port.

3. AUDIO OUT Jacks

Connect to the Audio input jacks of your A/V-compatible TV, wide screen TV or Stereo system.

4. VIDEO OUT Jack

Use a video cable to connect the jacks to the Video input jack of your A/V-compatible TV, wide screen TV or Stereo system.

5. COMPONENT VIDEO OUT Jacks

Use these jacks if you have a TV with Component Video input jacks. These jacks provide CB/PB, CR/PRand Y video. Component Video provides the best quality picture.

6. S-VIDEO OUT Jack

Use the S-Video cable to connect this jack to the S-Video input jack of your A/V-compatible TV or wide screen TV for a higher quality picture.

7. AV1 Jack

Connect to the 21-pin scart jack of a TV.

8. 5.1ch AUDIO OUT Jacks

Use speaker cables to connect these jacks to the 5.1ch Audio input jacks of your AV amplifier with 5.1-channel input terminals.

NOTES:

• When changing the VIDEO OUT setting (SCART, COMPONENT INTERLACE or COMPONENT PROGRESSIVE), connect to a Video jack or an S-Video jack on the TV. If the setting is changed, for example, to SCART while Component Video jacks are connected to the TV, a distorted video signal may be output (refer to page 28).

• When there is video output from the HDMI OUT jack, no progressive signal is output from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.

CAUTION:

•

Do not touch the inner pins of the jacks on the rear panel. Electrostatic discharge may cause permanent damage to the player.

Selecting Progressive Scan (625p <576p> or Interlaced 625i <576i>) Playback

• If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (625p <576p>), connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of the DVD player and set VIDEO OUT to COMPONENT PROGRESSIVE in the display setting. Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode. Refer to page 28 for instructions on changing the display setting. P.SCAN will appear on the display of the unit.

• If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set VIDEO OUT to COMPONENT INTERLACE by changing the display setting (refer to page 28). Make sure that P.SCAN on the display of the unit lights off.

• Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TV or monitor is the BNC type.

What is Progressive Scanning?

• Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan system provides less flickering and images in higher resolution than that of traditional (625i/576i) television signals.

The DCDi (Directional Correlational De-interlacing) system of this DVD player produces smooth and natural video images, even if really dynamic, by eliminating the jagged edges. *“DCDi” is a trademark of Faroudja, a division of Genesis Microchip Inc.

CONNECTIONS

The following shows examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other components. If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround or DTS surround format, the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jacks. By connecting the player to a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG decoder, you can enjoy more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surrounding sound of a professional standard which can be heard in movie theaters. Use an Optical (commercially available) or Audio Coaxial Digital cable (commercially available) for the audio connections.

NOTES:

• Be sure to turn off the power to all components in the system before connecting another component.

• Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the

DVD player.

NOTES (for Method 2 only):

• When using an AV amplifier with a built-in decoder (AV control center), Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder as shown in the Method 2, set DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS or MPEG to BITSTREAM accordingly for audio output in the setup menu (refer to page 29). Set it to PCM for the decoder that is not used currently. Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.

• The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD deck or DAT deck.

• Set DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS and MPEG to PCM, for audio output in the setup menu for connecting to an MD deck or DAT deck (refer to page 29).

• Harsh noise that could harm your ears or the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played back while using a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.

• When playing back a copyright-protected 96kHz (88.2kHz) linear PCM DVD, the digital sound will be down sampled at 48kHz (44.1kHz), even if you set LPCM SELECT to OFF (refer to page 29).

•

Super Audio CD sound is not output from the digital out.

Optical cable (commercially available)

• Optical cable (commercially available) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a diameter of 15 cm or more when storing them.

• Use a cable which is 3m or shorter.

• Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.

• If a plug has dust or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.

NOTES:

• Connect the DVD player directly to a TV. If the Audio/Video cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy protection system.

• S-Video output connector The video signals are divided into colour (C) and brightness (Y) signals, achieving a clearer picture. If the TV is equipped with an S-Video input connector, we recommend connecting it to this unit’s S-Video output connector using a commercially available S-Video connection cord.

HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS

Even if your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks, it is still possible to connect this DVD player to your TV’s 75-ohm coaxial antenna terminal using an optional Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator (not included). Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked “TO TV”) to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details. If your TV’s 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your TV’s antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator (usually marked “ANT IN”), then connect the RF modulator to your TV’s antenna terminal as described above.

NOTE:

• The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV’s antenna terminal through an RF Modulator.

To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display equipment (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV equipment. This player supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display equipment (or AV amplifier) for more information.

*HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface

NOTES:

• When using HDCP-incompatible display equipment, the image will not be viewed properly.

•

When the PURE DIRECT button on the front panel is turned on, not only HDMI images but sounds are not output (refer to page 17).

• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this player cannot be controlled by another device vice the HDMI connector.

• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) may be limited by the equipment that is connected.

• When playing a Super Audio CD with an HDMI connection, audio cannot be transferred beyond the CD layer. Make an analog connection for this.

• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In connections with equipment such as this, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.

• When the set’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI converter cable (commercially available), the signals are output in digital RGB.
