Video Formats
The TV picture display and disc signal systems can be
divided roughly into two TV formats (NTSC and PAL).
They are variable depending on countries and areas.
This unit reproduces NTSC discs in NTSC format and
PAL discs in PAL format. If the video formats of the
disc and TV do not match, the disc cannot be
reproduced correctly. It is therefore required to select
the disc according to the TV set in use (country and
area).
TV formats in major countries
NTSC : Japan, Taiwan, Korea, USA, Canada, Mexico,
Philippines, Chile, etc.
PAL : China, U.K., Germany, Australia, New
Zealand, Kuwait, Singapore, etc.
Checking the Video Format
Check the video format of the VCD and DVD discs to
be played on the player as described below.
1. Check if the video formats of the TV to be used
and disc to be played match each other.
¶ For details, refer to the instructions provided with
the TV and disc.
2. When the TV is switchable between NTSC and
PAL, set the TV format according to the disc
format.

This manual describes the standard, most typical
connections of the player. When an associated system
component is connected, also refer to their instruction
manuals.
For details on the connection of the following
components, see the indicated reference pages.

Connection with an AV Amplifier @
Before Start
Do not install the player in a place where the remote
control sensor is subjected to direct sunlight or the
light of a fluorescent lamp base on high-frequency
lighting (inverter system, etc.). Otherwise, the control
range of the joystick remote will be reduced.
Do not insert the power cord plugs of the player and
the connected components until all of the components
have been connected.
Be sure to insert all connection cables securely. If a
cable is plugged incompletely, lack of video, lack of
audio or noise may result.
Before connecting or disconnecting a connection cord,
be sure to unplug the power plug from the wall power
outlet. If a connection cable is connected or
disconnected while the power plug is left connected,
malfunction or equipment damage may result.
When a DVD AUDIO disc is played, the player can output
audio signals at very high frequencies. As this may
sometimes lead to speaker damage due to a high-volume
sound, do not set "Audio Filter" to "Filter 110 kHz"
when the speakers in use are not suitable for highfrequency reproduction. ‹
Malfunction of Microcomputer
In case the microcomputer malfunctions, making
operations impossible or showing wrong messages on

Connections
Do not insert the power cord plugs of the player and
the connected components until all of the components
have been connected.
For details on the connection terminals and functions
of the TV, refer to its instruction manual.
The video output from the player should be connected
directly to the TV. If the video output is connected
through a VCR, the picture displayed on the TV may
be disturbed due to the copy protect function.
To Connect a TV
Video connection: Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT jack
of the player to the video input of the TV using the
provided video cable.
S Video connection: If the TV has an S Video input
connector, connect the S VIDEO OUTPUT con-
nector of the player to it using the provided S Video
cable.
¶ As S Video separates video signal into the
luminance signal (Y) and color signal (C), it can
provide sharper pictures than ordinary video
connection.
Component video connection: If the TV has com-
ponent video input jacks, connect the Y, Cb and
Cr COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks of the
player to the corresponding jacks on the TV using
video cables.
¶ As component video separate video signal into
the luminance signal (Y) and color difference
signals (Cb, Cr), it can provide sharper image
than the S Video connection.
¶ When the TV in use is a HDTV or "Hi-Vision"
TV, connect the component video signals from
the player only to the DVD-compatible input
jacks.
SCART connection (For Europe and U.K.): If the
TV or VCR has SCART connectors, connect the
TV SCART or VCR SCART connector of this unit
to the TV or VCR using SCART cables.
¶ The audio and video signals can be output using
a single cable. The signal output from the TV
SCART connector can be switched between
composite video, S Video and RGB. (The VCR
SCART connector always outputs composite
video signals so its output signals cannot be
selected.)
¶ When the TV is connected through a VCR using
SCART connection, the picture displayed on the
TV may be disturbed due to the copy protect
function.
¶ When using only the TV and VCR which are
both connected with the player using the
SCART connection, the signal from the VCR
cannot be sent to the TV if the player is
switched off. (In this case, set the player to the
power standby mode.)
Audio connection: Connect the MIX LINE OUTPUT
jacks of the player to the audio input jacks of the
TV using the provided audio cables.

To Connect an AV amplifier
6-Channel audio connection: When the connected
AV amplifier has 6-channel audio input jacks, connect the 6CH. OUTPUT jacks of the player to them.
¶ When an amplifier which is not compatible with
6-channel inputs is connected, use the signals
from the MIX LINE OUTPUT jacks of the player.
The multi-channel surround audio will be downmixed and output. e
Audio connection: Connect the MIX LINE OUTPUT
jacks of the player to the audio input jacks of the
AV amplifier using the provided audio cables.
Digital audio connection: Connect the OPTICAL
DIGITAL OUTPUT connector of the player to the
digital audio input connector of the AV amplifier.
¶ Do not bend or bundle the optical fiber cable.
Be sure to attach the protection caps on the
optical connectors when they are not used.
¶ It is also possible to perform digital connection
using a commercially available coaxial cable and
the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. In the
coaxial digital connection, be sure to use a digital
audio cable, not an ordinary audio cable.
Video connection: Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT jack
of the player to the video input jack of the AV amplifier using the provided video cable.
S Video connection: When the connected TV has an
S Video connector, connect the S VIDEO OUTPUT
connector of the player to it using the provided
S Video cable.
