Connecting Speaker Cable

Recommended Speaker Setup

Helpful Hints

You only need to make one video connection to your TV in
order to view the DVD playback.

If your TV has S-Video or Component
(Pr Pb Y) video jacks, use one of these

video connections instead for higher picture
quality.

If your TV has only a single Antenna In jack, yo u
will need an accessory RF modulator. The RF modulator
converts the video from the DVD system so it can play
through the TV’s Antenna connector. Refer to your
owner’s manual for proper connection.

Do not switch the P-SCAN to ‘ON’ position,
unless you have connected the DVD system to a
Progressive Scan TV using the Component (Pr Pb Y)
video jacks.

When listening to TV programs, press TV/AV button on
the remote to set the DVD system to TV/AV mode in order for
the sound to be heard.

Step 2: Placing the speakers

and subwoofer

For best possible surround sound, all the
speakers (except the subwoofer) should be
placed at the same distance from the listening
position.

1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal

distances from the TV and at an angle of
approximately 45 degrees from the listening
position.

2 Place the center speaker above the TV or the

DVD system so that the center channel’s sound
is localized.

3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening

ear level facing each other or mounted on the
wall.

4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV.

Notes:
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not position
the front speakers too close to your TV.
– Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD
system.

About media slot

The MEDIA SLOT allows you to playback the
contents (for example, digital still pictures)
stored in the memory card (PCMCIA) without
the need of using the device itself (for example,
digital camera, digital camcorder, MP player) or a
computer.

Memory cards (for example, Compact Flash,
Memory Stick, Smar t Media, Secure Digital card,
Multimedia card) are a new form of compact,
portable, digital data exchange or storage
systems with compatible memory card devices
and versatile IC (Intergrated Circuit) recording
medium with a data capacity that exceeds a
floppy disc.

Precaution on handling the memory
card

– Do not attach any other material than the
supplied label on the label space.
– Do not touch the memory card connector
with fingers or metal objects.
– Do not bend, drop, disassemble or modify
the memory card.

– Do not allow the memory card to get wet.
– If you use a memory card that has been

initialized using a computer or if you initialize a
memory card attached to a camera using a USB
connection, further operation is not guaranteed.
– An image file that has been modified using an
image processing software may not open if it is
converted into a different file format.

Supported memory card format

File format: JPEG image (*.jpg.)
Compatibility:
– *.jpg images recorded with a digital

camcorder or digital camera with memory
card function.

– JPEG images stored in a memory card using

a memory card adaptor for PC.

– MP3 files.

Directories:

– Memory card
– Picture CD

Media Slot Operations

Playing JPEG pictures from
memory card

1 Remove the memory card from your digital

appears on the display panel (or press
DISC/MEDIA twice on the remote.)

4 Turn on the TV power and set to the correct

Video In channel. (See page 21 “Setting the TV”.)

➜ If the memory card is recognized, 9

thumbnail pictures will appear on the TV.

5 You can also use the joystick (1 2 3 4) to make

your selection from the 9 thumbnail pictures. If
you press OK, the selected picture will show on
the TV screen. If you press ÉÅ, the slide-show
playback will begin from the selected picture.

During playback, you can;

● Press S / T to select another picture.

● Use the joystick (1 2 3 4) on the remote to

rotate/flip the picture files.

● Press ÉÅ to pause/resume playback.

6 To stop playback, press Ç.
