Connections and Setup

 

 

Things to consider before you connect

Protect components from overheating

Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

Don’t stack components.

If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf.

Position cables properly to avoid audio interference

Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV

instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.

If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Note: Some discs may not be compatible due to laser pickup and disc design.

Back of DVD Player: Explanation of Jacks and Cables

There are several ways to connect your DVD Player to your TV depending upon the cables you have and the jacks that are on the back of your TV. Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance.The jacks on the back of your DVD Player and the cables used to connect them are explained below. A sample connection and instructions are on pages 6 and 7.

 

Video Jacks and Cables

VIDEO OUT

 

VIDEO

VIDEO OUT Jack and Cable

 

OUT jack

The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as

 

composite video. Composite video is better than the video quality you get from

Video cable (yellow)

an RF coaxial cable (the type used to plug the cable feed into a TV). Usually the

 

video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white and red).

 

S-VIDEO OUT Jack and Cable

 

The S-VIDEO OUT (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than

S-VIDEO jack

composite video (the VIDEO OUT jack) because the color is kept separate

from the black and white part of the video signal. If your TV has an S-Video

S-Video cable

jack, connect the DVD Player to the TV with an S-Video cable.

 

Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the S-Video cable carries only the

 

picture signal, not the sound.

VIDEO OUT

Pr Pb

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT REGULAR AND PROG. SCAN (Y, Pb, Pr) Jacks and Component Video Cables

The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide optimum picture quality because the video signal is separated into three parts.

To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables (yellow) for

Audio Jacks and Cables

AUDIO L (left) and R (right)

These jacks send the audio from the disc you’re playing to the TV.The audio jacks and cables are often color-coded (red for right audio, and white for left audio).You must connect audio cables to the AUDIO L and R jacks on the DVD Player and the corresponding Audio Input Jacks on the TV no matter which Video jack you connect (VIDEO; S-VIDEO; or Y, Pb, Pr).

If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect the right audio part of the cable.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT/OPTICAL and COAXIAL

Use one of these jacks to connect your DVD Player to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder. Some receivers have either the COAXIAL or OPTICAL type of Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, optical and coaxial connections work equally well — the only difference is the type of cable you connect to the jack.

If you want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXIAL jack if your receiver has a Coaxial Input Jack. Rarely, but sometimes, coaxial digital cables — especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference from household appliances, nearby power lines, and/or broadcast towers. If that is the case, connect an optical cable (sometimes called SPDIF) to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT/OPTICAL jack on the DVD Player and a compatible Digital Input Optical Jack on the receiver.

Connections and Setup

Point the Remote in the Right Direction and Put it in DVD Mode

When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the DVD Player, not the TV. Make sure the remote is in DVD mode - press the DVD button. Also, you must make sure there is a clear path between the remote control and the DVD Player because the remote control uses infrared (IR) technology that sends a command from the remote control to the IR sensor on the front of the DVD player.

Turn on the TV and DVD Player

1.Turn on your TV and tune it to the correct Video Input Channel (if you don’t know which channel is the Video Input channel, go to page 9 for help).

Using Different Menus

Each disc is programmed with different features.There are three separate types of menus that you can use to access features:

The Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD player’s menu.The contents of each Disc menu vary according to how the disc was authored and what features were included on the disc.The Disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the MENU button on the remote.

The DVD player’s Info Display – The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the screen. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s turned on and off with the INFO button on the remote control.

The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu system is accessed only when a disc isn’t playing. It appears automatically when you press the STOP button on the remote.

Remember: A feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if you choose subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with subtitles. If a menu or icon is “grayed out” it means that item (or feature) isn’t available.
