•Before unplugging the player from the power outlet, make sure you first switch it into standby using either the front panel
STANDBY/ON button, or the remote control, and wait of the -OFF- message to disappear from the player’s display.
•For the above reasons, do not plug this player into a switched power supply found on some amplifiers and AV receivers.
•When TV System is set to AUTO or NTSC, and playing an NTSC disc only: When
Component Out (page 52) is set to Progressive, there is no video output from the VIDEO OUT (composite) and S (S-video) jacks. If you want to display video on more than one monitor simultaneously, make sure that it is set to Interlace. Switch the player to standby then, using the front panel controls, press
STANDBY/ON while pressing
to switch the player back to Interlace.
Connecting using the S-video output
If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-video input, you can use this instead of the standard (composite) output for a better quality picture.
• Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-video input on your TV (or monitor or AV receiver).
Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the plug before plugging in.

Connecting using the component video output
You can use the component video output instead of the standard video out jack to connect this player to your TV (or other equipment). This should give you the best quality picture from the three types of video output available.
• Use a component video cable (not supplied) to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a component video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.

Connecting to an AV receiver
To enjoy multichannel surround sound you need to connect this player to an AV receiver using a digital output. This player has both coaxial and optical digital jacks; use whichever is convenient.
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).
1 Connect one of DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks on this player to a digital input on your AV receiver.

•You usually have to connect the same kind of video cable between your DVD player and AV receiver, and between your AV receiver and TV.
This enables you to listen to multichannel surround sound.
For an optical connection, use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect the OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to an optical input on your AV receiver.
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (similar to the supplied video cable) to connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.
•My TV doesn’t have any inputs to connect the DVD player. How can I watch DVDs?
If your TV has no inputs you can’t use this player with it.

02 Connecting up
•My VCR is already connected to my TV, so there aren’t any spare inputs. What should I do?
If all your TV’s inputs are already in use, you can buy a video input selector from an electronics store, which effectively gives you more inputs.
•My TV only has one input for the sound. What should I plug it into?
If you don’t mind mono sound, you can buy a stereo RCA-to-mono RCA cable from an electronics store. Connect the stereo end to this player and the mono end to your TV.
If you want stereo sound, connect this player to your amplifier or stereo system using a stereo audio cable.
•I connected the DVD player to my AV receiver, and although the sound is fine, there’s no picture. What did I do wrong?
Make sure that the correct video input is selected on your TV.
Also make sure that the type of video connection from the DVD player to your AV receiver is the same as that from the receiver to your TV. Most AV receivers won’t convert from one kind of connection to another.
