ferrite core. Please see your retailer for more details.

writer, the right software and the disc used. Playable discs: DVD-Video, DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, Audio CDs, CD-R

CÂBLE AV

A. Pour que le son émis par le lecteur de DVD passe par votre téléviseur, utilisez des câbles audio (blanc/rouge)

pour raccorder les connecteurs AUDIO (G/D) du lecteur de DVD aux connecteurs d'ENTRÉE AUDIO
correspondants de votre téléviseur.

B. Utilisez un câble vidéo composite (jaune) pour raccorder le connecteur CVBS (VIDÉO) du lecteur de DVD au

connecteur d'entrée vidéo (ou connecteur nommé Entrée A/V In, Entrée vidéo ou Composite) de votre
téléviseur.

CÂBLE PÉRITEL (NON FOURNI)

Il s'agit du branchement recommandé. Si votre téléviseur est équipé d'un connecteur PÉRITEL, vous pouvez y
brancher le lecteur de DVD au moyen d'un câble PÉRITEL (tel que représenté).

Certains cables peuvent émettre des interférences électromagnétiques (EMI) vers des appareils
électriques se trouvant à proximité (en particulier les télévisions et radios). Pour éviter cela, nous
vous recommandons d'utiliser un cable équippé d'une ferrite. Veuillez contacter votre revendeur
pour de plus amples informations.
