turn.

10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet provide venti-
lation, ensure reliable operation of the product, and protect

it from overheating. Do not block or cover these openings.

The openings should never be blocked by placing the prod-
uct on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not

label if you are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery

power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

12. Grounding or Polarization - This product may be equipped

with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the

power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you

are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try revers-

16. Power Lines- An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power linesor other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installingan outside antenna
system, take extreme care to keep it from touching such
power lines or circuits; contact with them might be fatal

cords, or integral convenience receptacles. This can result in

a risk of fire or electric shock.

into this product through openings; they may touch danger-
ous voltage points or short out parts, resulting in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified ser-
vice personnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has spilled or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls covered
by the operating instructions. An improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the prod-
uct to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way,
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in perfor-

mance. This indicates a need for service.

21. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician uses replacement parts speci-
fied by the manufacturer or having the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the product is in proper operating

condition.

Hookups 9

Determining the best possible connection...

The capabilities of your existing equipment, especiallyyour TV, will determine your connection possibilities.

However, the following guidelines describe which options provide the best picture and sound quality.

-A-_lr,ir-k Component Video provides the best picture quality. Details are on page 12.
S_Videoprovides excellent picture quality. Detailsare on page I I.

"A_ Composite Video (a yellow Video jack) provides good picture quality. Details are on page 10.
"A"A" Your TV may haveonly an RF-stylejack, usually labeledAntenna In or 75 ohm or RFIn. You

will need an RF modulator in order to view the DVD Playerat your TV. Seeyour electronics
retailer for details on RF modulator availability and operations.

Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound, but you must havea digital stereo
receiver. Connect either the DVD Player's COAXIAL or OPTICAL digital audio out jack to
your Stereo for the best sound quality. Details are on page 14.
If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD Player's red and white AUDIO OUT
jacksto the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV. Details are on pages 10-13.

Before you begin...

Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, or other equipment asnecessary.Note the style of jacks and
connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels
on your other equipment so you can seeand hear the DVD Player on the TV, Stereo, etc.
Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets only
after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or changeconnections with equipment
connected to the power outlet.

Remember...

Connect the DVD Player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the DVD Playerto a VCR,
then connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may distort the picture and sound. Also, your
VCR might havethe copy protection system, which could distort the DVD image or prevent playback

of some Discs.
Setthe TV to the correct Video In channel.Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN,

AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXTI or EXT2 or External In, etc. These channels are often near channel

00. Seeyour TV manual for details. Or, changeTV channels until you seethe DVD screen saver on

the TV.
® Setthe Stereo to the correct channel or "source" mode.
® Do not connect the DVD Player'sAUDIO OUT jacksto the PHQNO IN jack of your Stereo.

You only need one audio connection and one video connection between the DVD Playerand your TV

and/or Stereo. So, you might not useall the jacks on the DVD Player.

Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 10-14. Follow the

steps for the hookup you choose.
