NOTES:

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

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

• Refer to the owner's manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the DVD player.

Connecting to an Amplifier Equipped with Digital Input Jacks such as MD deck or DAT deck

Use an audio coaxial digital cable (commercially available) for the audio connections. Connecting to an amplifier equipped with a coaxial digital input jack such as MD Deck or Dat Deck.

NOTES:

•

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

•

Set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “PCM” and “DTS” to “OFF” for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings

may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.(See page 14 to change the audio settings.

[Fig. 7]

)

Connecting to a Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder

If using this DVD player to playback a DVD in a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround or DTS surround format, the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. By hooking the player up to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy a more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard such as can be heard in movie theaters.

Use an audio coaxial digital cable (commercially available) for the audio connections.

[Fig. 8]

NOTES:

•

IF output is Dolby Digital- or DTS-encoded audio, connect to a Dolby Digital or DTS decorder, and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” or DTS

to “BITSTREAM” for audio output in the setup mode.

• Unless connected to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “PCM” or “DTS” to “OFF” for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.

Connecting to a TV or a Stereo TV that has Component VIDEO In Jacks

NOTE:

• If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (480p), connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of the DVD player, and make sure the progressive scanning mode is selected.

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

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 a commercially available Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator. 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.

NOTE:

•

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