8 General Information

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Remove the battery compartment lid on the back of the remote

control by pressing in the tab, then lifting off the lid.

Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment with their +and –ends aligned as indicated. Do not mix old and new bat-

teries or different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).

Replace the battery compartment lid.

Using the Remote Control

Unless stated otherwise, the remote control can perform all operations. Always point the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the front of the DVD Player, not the TV. Details are on page 20. Make sure there are no barriers between the remote control and the DVD Player.

Environmental Information

Your system consists of materials that can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Safety Information

● Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand, or

heat sources.

● Place the DVD Player on a firm, flat surface.

● Keep the DVD Player away from domestic heating equipment and

direct sunlight.

● When placing the DVD Player in a cabinet, allow about one inch of

space all around the DVD Player for ventilation.

Cleaning Discs

● When a Disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe

the Disc from the center out, in a straight line.

● Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available

cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.

● If the DVD Player cannot read Discs correctly, use a commonly

available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

● The lens may cloud over if you suddenly move the DVD Player

from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a Disc is not possible then. Leave the power on for about one hour with no Disc in the unit until normal playback is possible.

Hookups 9

Determining the best possible connection...

The capabilities of your existing equipment will determine your connection possibilities. However, the following guidelines describe which options have the best picture and sound quality.

 Component Video provides the best picture quality.

Progessive Scan Component Video has the highest quality, but use it only if the TV has Progressive Scan.

 Use the S-Video jack for excellent picture quality.  Use the yellow CVBS 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 Player to the TV. Ask

your electronics retailer for details. Many retailers refer to this adapter as an RF modulator or RF adapter.

 Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound.

Connect one of the DVD Player’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) to your Stereo for the best sound quality.

 If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD

Player’s red and white AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV.

Before you begin...

● Refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo 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 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 change connections with equipment connected to the power outlet.

Remember...

● Connect the DVD Player directly to the TV. For example, do not

connect the DVD Player 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 AUXILIARY IN, AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2, etc. These channels often are located near channel 00. See your TV manual for details. Or, change TV channels until you see the DVD logo on the TV.

● Set the Stereo to the correct channel or “source” mode.

● Do not connect the DVD Player’s AUDIO OUT jacks to the

PHONO IN jack of your Stereo.

● You only need one audio connection and one video connection.

Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 10-15. Follow the steps for the hookup you chose.

Connect the Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y VIDEO OUT jacks on the DVD Player to the corresponding Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y VIDEO IN jacks on the TV. Use component video cable (not supplied).

Connect the red and white cables of the supplied threeprong audio/video cable to one set of the Left and Right AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD Player. Connect the other end of the cables to the left/right AUDIO IN jacks on the TV. Match the cable colors to the jack colors.

Connect the flat end of the DVD Player’s power cord (supplied) to the MAINS (AC Power) jack on the back of the DVD Player. Connect the power cords of the DVD Player and the TV to the power outlet. Turn on the TV power. Press STANDBY-ON on the front of the DVD Player to turn on the DVD Player. The Standby

light will disappear.

Set the TV to the correct Component Video In channel.

See your TV owner’s manual for details. Or, change channels at the TV until you see the DVD logo on the TV screen.

•

If your TV has Progressive Scan, connect the DVD Player’s Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y PROGRESSIVE SCAN OUT jacks to the TV’s Progressive Scan In jacks (instead of using the VIDEO OUT jacks as described in step

1). Progressive Scan produces a clearer picture by doubling the number of visible picture lines per field. This provides a jitterfree, sharp, quiet picture. Only use these connections if your TV has Progressive Scan capabilities. Check your TV manual for more information.

• On the TV, the component video in jacks may be labeled YUV or Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y and may be green, blue, and red.

Helpful Hints

Connect the supplied S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO OUT jack of the DVD Player and to the TV’s S-VIDEO IN jack.
