CAUTION
The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).
If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed and appropriate one fitted.

POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while.

This player can output progressive scan video from the component video output. Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free image.
To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV, see Video Output settings on page 40. When the player is set to output progressive scan video, the PRGSVE indicator lights in the front panel display.
Important
•If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and switch the player to progressive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case, switch everything off and reconnect using the supplied video cable (see Easy connections on page 11), then switch back to Interlace (see below).

02 Connecting up
Switching the video output to interlace using the front panel controls
Switch the player to standby then, using the front panel controls, press STANDBY/ON while pressing to switch the player back to
Interlace.
•If the player is connected using HDMI, disconnect the HDMI cable before resetting the player to interlace output. (If left connected, the HDMI output resolution will be reset to its default—see Resetting the output resolution to the default setting with HDMI connection on page 17.)

Connecting to an AV receiver
You can connect this player to your AV receiver using the multichannel analog outputs or one of the digital outputs.
In addition to these connections, you should also connect the 2 channel analog outputs for compatibility with all discs.
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).
2 Connect the AV receiver’s video output to a video input on your TV.
The diagram shows standard video connections, but you can alternatively use the S-Video or component video connections if they’re available.
You can use the SCART AV connector, or the S- video or component video jacks to connect to the AV receiver if you prefer.
Tip
•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.
Connecting the multichannel analog outputs
If your AV receiver has 5.1 channel analog inputs, we recommend connecting this player to it using the multichannel analog outputs. Doing this will ensure that you can enjoy all kinds of disc, including Dolby Digital and DTS DVD-Video discs, as well as high sampling rate and multichannel DVD-Audio and SACD discs.

Tip
•After connecting up and switching on, you should change the Audio Output Mode setting in the Initial Setup menu from the default 2 Channel to 5.1 Channel. See also Audio Output Mode on page 45.
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.
Connecting the digital output
This player has both optical and coaxial-type digital audio outputs for connection to an AV receiver. Connect whichever is convenient.
Depending on the capabilities of your AV receiver, you might have to set up this player to output only digital audio in a compatible format. See Digital Audio Out settings on page 39 and refer to the operating instructions that came with your AV receiver.

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 HDMI Out on page 39, HDMI Resolution on page 40 and HDMI Color on page 40 to do this). However, the settings for each component are then stored in memory (for up to 2 components).
•The HDMI connection is compatible with 2 channel linear PCM signals (44.1 kHz to 192 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit), and Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG audio bitstream, and multi channel linear PCM signals, (5.1 channel signals up to 96 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/ 24 bit).
•It is not possible to output SACD source from the HDMI connection of this player.
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
