Determining the best possible connection...
Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially yourTV.These guidelines describe
which options have the best picture and sound quality.You will not use all the jacks on the DVD/VCR.
If your TV only has an RF-style jack, usually labelled Antenna In, RF In, or 75 ohm, use the ANTOUT
jack of the DVD/VCR to connect to theTV.This hookup provides both audio and video in a single cable.
Set your TV to channel 3 or 4 - the output channel of the DVD/VCR. This connection allows you to use
both the DVD and VCR features. See page eight

Before you begin...
• Refer to the manuals of your TV, Cable Box, Stereo, or other devices as necessary. Note the style of jacks and con
• Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to power only after you have finished
If your TV has Component Video In jacks (which could be labelled Y CR CB,Y PR PB, orYUV and may be
green, blue, and red), use the Component Video jacks (Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr) for the best picture quality. If you use
only this video connection, only the DVD picture will be available.To see DVD features on the TV, set the TV
to its Component Video In channel. Component Video provides the best picture quality. See page 12.
Progressive Scan provides less flickering and higher image resolution than traditional (525i/480i or interlace)
TV signals. If your TV has Progressive Scan (525p/480p or progressive), connect the TV to the DVD/VCR’s
COMPONENTVIDEO OUT (Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr) jacks.
Set PROGRESSIVE to ON in the DVD/VCR’s DISPLAY menu. See pages 64-65. P.SCAN will appear on the
DVD/VCR’s display panel. Set your TV to Progressive Scan also.
If your TV does not have Progressive Scan but has Component Video In jacks, connect them to the
DVD/VCR’s COMPONENTVIDEO OUT jacks (Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr). Set PROGRESSIVE to OFF either in the
DISPAY menu or by pressing and holding the PAY ► (DVD) button on the front of the DVD/VCR for
more than five seconds. See pages 12 and 64-65.
If your TV has an S-Video In jack (which also may be labelled Y/C or S-VHS), use the S-VIDEO OUT jack for
excellent picture quality. If you use only this video connection, only the DVD picture will be available.To see
DVD features on the TV, set the TV to its S-Video In channel. See page 13.
If your TV has a single yellow Video In jack (which also may be labelled CVBS, Composite, or baseband), use
the yellow DVD/VCRVIDEO OUT jack for good picture quality.This connection provides a picture for both
the DVD Player and the VCR. To see DVD orVCR features on the TV, set the TV to its Video In channel. See
page 11.
If you have a Stereo with a Coaxial Digital Audio In jack, this provides the clearest sound for the DVD Player.
Connect the DVD/VCR’s COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to your Stereo for the best sound quality. If
you use only this audio connection, only Disc sound (no VCR) will be available. See page 15.
If digital audio connections are not possible, connect the DVD/VCR’s red and white DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT
jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo orTV.This connection provides sound for both the DVD Player
and the VCR. See pages 11-14.

equipment so you can see and hear the DVD/VCR material playing on the TV, Stereo, etc.
hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to power.
Remember...
• 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 External In, etc.These channels often are located near channel zero (0). Or, your TV’s remote may
have a button or switch that selects the Video Input channel. See your TV manual for details. If you do not see the
DVD or VCR playback on the TV, go to the lowest TV channel (01 or 02) and change channels downward until you
see the DVD or VCR picture on the TV. Or, if your TV has only a single Antenna In jack and you are using the RF
coaxial cable (as described on page eight), set the TV to channel 3 or 4.
To help you find the right Audio/Video In channel, turn on the DVD/VCR. Press DVD to put the DVD/VCR in DVD
mode. With no Disc in the Player, a large DVD Video logo will appear on the TV screen when you get the TV on
the correct Audio/Video In channel or channel 3 or 4.
• Set the Stereo to the correct channel or “source” mode.
• Depending on your connection, you may need to purchase additional cables or adaptors. If your TV or monitor has
BNC-type connectors, you will need an adaptor.
• If you set Progressive Scan on or off when the power is on, the DVD/VCR will turn off. When you turn on the
DVD Player again, the last selected scanning system will be active.
• To use the VCR features, you must include a connection with the supplied yellow video cable and
red/white audio cables or with the supplied RF coaxial cable.
Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 8-15. Follow the steps for the hookup
you choose.Then, go to page 17 to complete the first-time setup.
