Use the supplied audio/video cable,
connecting the red and white plugs to the

inputs for correct stereo sound.
See below if you want to use a component or

connection to a TV or AV receiver. The video
output is switchable between ordinary
composite, S-video and RGB. See

Watching progressive scan video
from the component video outputs
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
When the player is set to output progressive
scan video, the
front panel display.
• 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,

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

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 Svideo 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

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

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 53.
DVD-Video
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
on
page 51.
• 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
Taking care of
on page 51 for
information on cleaning discs.
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s
probably an incompatible format or disc
type, such as DVD-ROM. See
format playback compatibility
Disc / content
on page 7 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)
selected, those
discs will still be shown in letter box format.
This is not a malfunction.

• My AV receiver is definitely compatible with
96/88.2kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn’t
seem to work with this player. What’s
wrong?
For digital copy-protection purposes, some
96/88.2kHz DVD discs only output digital
audio downsampled to 48/44.1kHz. This is
not a malfunction.
To fully take advantage of the high
sampling rate audio, connect the analog
audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver.
• Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the
digital outputs?
SACD audio is only available through the
analog outputs. This is not a malfunction.
Some DVD-Audio discs too only output
audio through the analog outputs.
• Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs
through the analog outputs?
Some DVD-Audio discs do not output
anything through the digital outputs, and
multichannel discs are downmixed to
stereo for the digital output. In addition,
high sampling rate DVD-Audio discs
(higher than 96kHz) automatically
downsample audio output from the digital
outputs.
Using the multichannel analog audio
outputs for DVD-Audio have none of these
limitations.
• My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then
suddenly stops!
The disc may have been illegally copied.
• I’ve connected to a HDMI compatible
component but I can’t get any signal and
the front panel HDMI indicator won’t light!
Make sure that you’ve selected this player
as the HDMI input in the settings for the
component you’re using. You may need to
refer to the instruction manual of the
component to do this. See
using HDMI
compatibility.
• Why can't I hear SACD audio through the
optical/coaxial digital outputs or the HDMI
interface?
SACD audio is only available through the
analog outputs. This is not a malfunction.
Also, some DVD-Audio discs only output
audio through the analog outputs.
• There’s no picture from the HDMI output!
This player cannot display pictures from
DVI compatible sources. See
