-OR-

2b. S-Video (not shown) – If your TV has an S-Video jack, connect the S-Video

cable (not provided) to the S-VIDEO on the DVD to the S-VIDEO of your TV.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y, Pb, Pr) Jacks

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 the connection. You can also buy bundled component video cables that are color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr jacks (red, green, and blue).

Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the component cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL/OPTICAL (Audio)

Use one of these jacks to connect your DVD player to a Dolby Digital 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.

Note: If the DVD player is connected to a DTS receiver through DIGITAL OUT and DTS track is selected, there will be no sound.

Playing mp3, WMA, or JPEG ﬁ les

mp3 is an audio ﬁ le format which compresses recorded music. It was developed by

Fraunhofer Gesellschaft in collaboration with Thomson Inc. The main advantage of the mp3 format is the ability to store CD-quality music tracks on a personal computer in a user-friendly, compressed ﬁ les. WMA (Windows Media Audio) is another audio ﬁ le format, developed by Microsoft. JPEG ﬁ les are image ﬁ les (make sure they have a resolution of less than 5 megapixels.)

Note: The time taken for the contents of the disc to be displayed varies according to the size and number of JPEG files actually on the disc. If nothing is displayed after a few minutes, it is likely that cer tain files are too large. In this case, reduce the files’ resolution to less than 5 megapixels and write another disc.

Before inserting a disc, check that it is compatible with the player:

1. Turn on the DVD and open the disc tray by pressing OPEN/CLOSE.

2. Place the disc in the tray with the printed side facing up and close the tray.
