DVD Player and to protect it from overheating. Do
not block these openings or allow them to be blocked
by placing the DVD Player on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface, nor should it be placed over a
radiator or heat register. If the DVD Player is to be
placed in a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is
adequate ventilation and that you adhere to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Stacking
Do not place any heavy object(s) on top of your DVD
player. The object(s) may fall, causing serious injury
and/or damage to the product.
9. Power Sources
This DVD Player should be operated only from the

If you are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company. Overloading wall outlets and
extension cords, can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
10.Grounding or Polarization
For your safety, this DVD Player is equipped with a
polarized alternating current line plug having one
blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
11.Power-Cord Protection
Place the power-supply cord out of the way, where
it will not be walked on, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the appliance.
12.Lightning
Unplug your DVD Player from the wall outlet if it will
not be used for a long time or if there is a lighting
storm. This will prevent damage to the product due

up. Using your DVD player before the moisture
evaporates could seriously damage discs and
internal parts.

CONNECTING TO A TV
[Fig. 1]
FOR TVs WITH S-VIDEO INPUT JACK
Use an S-Video cable (commercially available) in place of the yellow video cable to enjoy pictures at higher quality.
[Fig. 2]
[Fig. 3]
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 the power to 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.
¡The analog output terminal does not supply DTS sound.
Selecting Progressive Scan (480p) or Interlaced (480i) Playback
¡If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (480p), connect the TV to the Component Video Output
jacks of the DVD player and set the SCAN MODE switch on the back of the DVD player to “P”
(PROGRESSIVE). Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode.
If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, keep the SCAN MODE switch to “I” (INTERLACE).
¡Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TV or monitor are the BNC type.
¡When SCAN MODE switch is set to “P” (PROGRESSIVE), DVD player outputs from Component Video
Output Jack (not from VIDEO OUT or S-VIDEO OUT jack).
What is Progressive Scanning?
¡Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan system provides less flickering and images in
higher resolution than that of traditional (480i) television signals.
¡
When P (PROGRESSIVE) is selected, no video signal will be output from the VIDEO OUT, or S-VIDEO OUT jack.
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.

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 OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks. 5.1
channel Dolby Digital Surround sound can also be output from the 5.1 CH OUTPUT jacks. (They do not output the DTS
sound.) 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, which can be heard in movie theaters.
Use an audio coaxial or optical digital cable (not included) for the audio connections.
Use audio cables (commercially available ) for the 5.1 CH audio connection.
[Fig. 4]
Notes
¡Be sure to turn off the power to all components in the system before connecting another component.
¡Refer to the Owner’s Manuals for the components to be connected to the DVD player.
¡If output is Dolby Digital audio, connect to a Dolby Digital decoder and set Dolby Digital to ON for audio
output in the setup mode.
¡If you want to enjoy DTS audio, use a DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack for the connection. (DTS can only be
output through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks.)
¡If output is DTS audio, connect to a DTS decoder and set DTS to ON for audio output in the setup mode.
¡Unless connected to a Dolby Digital decoder or a DTS decoder, set Dolby Digital 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.
