Connecting the DVD Player to your TV / Receiver

Determining the Video & Audio Connections You Will Use

The first step to connecting your DVD Player on your TV is to make the cable connections that will allow you to see the video and hear the audio on your TV and optional Stereo Receiver. Your DVD Player has multiple Video and Audio outputs. Generally, you will only use one Video and one Audio output and any one time. The type of outputs you use will be determined by the capabilities of your Television or receiver. It is recommended that you use the highest quality output that your TV or receiver will support.

Television Connections (One Required)

In order to use your DVD Player, your TV must support at least one of the Video Input types shown below. To get started, identify the best Video Connection shown below that your TV offers and proceed to that section. If you are using your Tv’s speakers for audio, rather than a separate receiver or amplifier, you will use the Stereo Audio In, outlined in sections 1 and 2.

TV TYPE

Default setting: NTSC

Your DVD Player will work with TVs based on the NTSC and PAL standards, as well as TVs designed to function with both standards, or “Multi” models. NTSC is the standard TV system used in the USA, Canada, Japan and many other countries. The PAL TV system is used in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, among other places. Refer to your TV’s documentation to make sure which model you have.

VIDEO OUTPUT

Default setting: S-VI

After pressing the monitor key to output audio and video to an external source, the function can be activated.

S-VIDEO: A higher quality picture than standard

video out and progressive scan. To activate the component video outputs, you must first connect the unit using the COMPOSITE VIDEO connector and cable in order to enter SETUP and change this setting. Next, connect the unit using the COMPONENT VIDEO cables and unplug the COMPOSITE video cable. Adjust the TV’s Video Input setting to correspond to the COMPONENT Input.

VIDEO MODE

Default setting: INTERLACE

Most TVs scan only half the lines of an image in one pass. This scanning method is known as “interlaced” mode, as the odd and even lines are interlaced together in alternate scans. Progressive scan, or P-SCAN, is a scanning method offered on high-end TVs. Progressive scan TVs scan all the lines of an image in one pass, creating a more film-like quality to DVD movies.

Note: This setting is only available when the VIDEO OUTPUT setting is set to YUV. This is because all progressive scan TVs require component video inputs. If this setting is inadvertently set to P-SCAN, reset the video to INTERLACED by opening the disc tray and pressing DISPLAY - 1 - 2 - 3 on the remote control.

P - SCAN MODE

Default setting: AUTO

FILM 3:2 is for NTSC - Converts 24 frame/sec film to 30

frame/sec NTSC video. VIDEO 2:2 is for PAL - Converts 24 frame/sec film to 25 frame/sec PAL video. AUTO switches automatically between the modes depending on the disc inserted. Note : this option can be selected only while the Video Mode is set to P-Scan.

PARENTAL

Default setting: Off

The Parental Lock allows you to limit the use of your DVD Player to only those DVD discs that do not exceed the rating you specify. When the Parental Control is set, DVD discs that support this feature will play only after the password has been entered. However, typically only discs produced by major entertainment companies support Parental Control. You can choose from eight levels of Parental Control, corresponding to the standard rating system in the USA. You will need to enter a valid password before making changes to Parental Control settings. The factory password - 1379 - will always be a valid password. You can also use a New Password which you can create. Please refer to the Password section for further instructions.

Note on parental security

Remember to keep in mind that the key to the Parental Control feature is the factory default password of 1379.

Consequently, your player may not be secure if this manual is accessible by your children.
