•Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
•Turn off the TV and/or components before you connect or disconnect any cables.
•Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards
sheet packed with your DVD player.
Protect Components from Overheating
•Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air
can circulate freely.
•Don’t stack components.
•When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
•If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from
it won’t flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
•Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
•If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV
instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.
•If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin
lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in
this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).

Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the
digital track of film (while the film is being made). Both of these formats provide up to six separate
channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer.
The disc will play 5.1-channel sound only if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or
decoder and if the original movie the disc was recorded from was encoded in the Dolby Digital or
DTS format.
Please Read This Before Using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT Jack!
This player’s digital output jack is designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or
decoder.
Older digital equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection can
create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or
speakers.
It is important to choose the correct Digital Output setting in the DVD Player’s Sound menu, especially
when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. For more information, see chapter 5.

Important Battery Information
•If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure
to remove the batteries because they can leak and cause damage.
•Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal,
state, and local regulations.
•Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery
type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the
same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a
battery not intended to be recharged.
•Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin
burns or other personal injury.
Point the Remote in the Right Direction
When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote
at the DVD Player, not the TV. The remote has to be pointed in the
correct direction and toward the correct component in order for the
remote control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the
component. Make sure there is a clear path between the remote control
and the component you want to operate so the signal isn’t blocked.
