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 up

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).

The diagram shows standard video connections, but you can alternatively use the S-video or component video connections if they’re available.

3 Connect the AV receiver’s video output to a video input on your TV.

• 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

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack to an optical input

OPTICAL

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.

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.

When you switch on the player for the first time, you should see a welcome screen displayed on your TV. From here you can let the player know what kind of TV you have, then either use the Setup Navigator to make more settings, or jump right in and start playing some discs.

• For customers in Taiwan: The default onscreen menu language is Traditional Chinese. Use the instructions below to complete the Let’s Get Started setup, then see page 69 for instructions on changing the on-screen display language to English.

• This player features a screen saver and an auto power off function. If the player is stopped and no button is pressed for five minutes, the screen saver starts. If the disc tray is closed but no disc is playing and no control is pressed for 30 minutes, the player automatically goes into standby.
