8 Hookups
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways
you could connect the DVD Changer. Use only one of the connections described on pages
9-12.
Before you begin...
● Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, Receiver or other devices as necessary. 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 see and hear
the DVD Changer 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 change connections with equipment connected to the power outlet.
● Depending on your connection, you may need to purchase additional cables.
Determining the best possible connection...
Your hookup will be determined primarily by feature availability of your existing equipment.
However, the following guidelines describe which options have the best picture and sound
quality.
Use the Component Video jacks for the best picture quality.
Use the S-Video jack for excellent picture quality.
Use the yellow Video jack for good picture quality.
If your TV only has an RF-style jack, usually labeled Antenna In or 75 ohm, you
will need an adapter in order to connect the DVD Changer to the TV. Ask your
electronics retailer for details. The DVD picture still will exceed the quality of
videotapes and other analog recordings.
Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect one of the DVD
Changer’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) to your
Receiver for the best sound quality.
If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD Changer’s red and white
AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Receiver or TV. Using the red
and white cables provides a standard “analog” or “two-channel” connection.
Sound is distributed through two channels, or the Left and Right channels.
Remember...
● Connect the DVD Changer directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the
DVD Changer to a VCR, then connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may
distort the picture and sound. Also, your VCR might have the copy protection system,
which could further distort the DVD image.
● Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or
AUXILIARYIN, AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2, etc. These channels often
are located near channel 00. See your TV owner’s manual for details.
● Set the audio equipment (Amplifier, Receiver, etc.) to the correct channel or
“source” mode.
● Do not connect the DVDChanger’s AUDIO OUT jack to the PHONO IN jack of your
audio system.
● You only need one audio connection and one video connection.
● If you connect the DVD Changer to a Receiver that is Dolby Digital and DTS compati-
ble, set Dolby Digital or DTS to On at the DVD Changer. Details are on pages 40-41.
● If your Receiver is not Dolby Digital or DTS compatible, set Dolby Digital or DTS to
Off at the DVD Changer. Playing a DVD when the settings are wrong will distort the
sound or damage the speakers.
Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 9-12. Follow
the specific steps for the hookup you chose.
