• This player is equipped with copy protection technology. Do not connect this player to your TV via a VCR using audio/video or S-video cables, as the picture from this player will not appear properly on your TV.

1 Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO OUT L/R jacks to a set of A/V inputs on your TV.

Use the supplied audio/video cable, connecting the red and white plugs to the audio outputs and the yellow plug to the video output. Make sure you match up the left and right audio outputs with their corresponding inputs for correct stereo sound.

See below if you want to use a component or S-video cable for the video connection.

2 Connect the supplied AC power cable to the AC IN inlet, then plug into a power outlet.

Connecting to an AV receiver

To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need to connect this player to an AV receiver using the digital audio output.

In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog connection.

You’ll probably also want to connect a video output to your AV receiver. You can use any of the video outputs available on this player (the illustration shows a standard (composite) connection).

Connecting using HDMI (DV490V only)

If you have a HDMI equipped monitor or display, you can connect it to this player using a commercially available HDMI cable.

The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed digital video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio that the player is compatible with, including DVD-Video, Video CD/Super VCD, CD and MP3.

Connecting up

• The arrow on the cable connector body should be face up for correct alignment with the connector on the player.

Note

• This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) . Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.

• When you change the component connected to the HDMI output, you will also need to change the HDMI settings to match the new component (see on page 35, and However, the settings for each component are then stored in memory (for up to 2 components).

• The HDMI connection is compatible with

44.1 kHz/48 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit 2 channel linear PCM signals, as well as Doldy Digital, DTS and MPEG audio bitstream.

About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.

FAQ

• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!

Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your player. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the player (which you can find on the rear panel). See also

regions

on page 42.

If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look for signs of damage. See also

Taking care of your player and discs

page 40.

• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?

First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and undamaged. See

your player and discs

information on cleaning discs. If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s

probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See

Disc / content format playback compatibility

on page 8 for more on disc compatibility.

•I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs?

Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.

•I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs?

Some discs override the display preferences of the player, so even if you have

4:3 (Pan & Scan)

discs will still be shown in letter box format. This is not a malfunction.
