Playing Discs

Compatible Discs

This DVD Player is capable of playing the following types of discs: DVDs,
Audio CDs, Video CDs, and CDs with mp3 files, WMA files (Windows
Media Audio), and JPEG files on them. Before you put a disc in the player,
make sure it is compatible. You can’t play the following types of discs:
Laserdiscs, CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), DVD-ROM, or discs re­corded using other broadcast standards (i.e., PAL or SECAM); CD-G discs.
Note: Some discs may not be compatible due to laser pickup, recording
formats, and softwar e used. Some technologies and methods used for
mp3 file recording on CD-Rs can prevent optimal playback of these files
on your DVD player by degrading the sound quality and/or the ability of
the player to read the file.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

The HDMI jack provides optimum picture quality. This jack gives
you an uncompressed digital interface that carries both video
and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable.

Note: Make sure you set the HDMI Setup option in the menu
system to the resolution setting that most closely matches your TV.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y, Pb, Pr) Jacks

The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide excellent 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 (green, blue, red).
Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the
component cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Connecting TV with DVI input

Please get a HDMI to DVI cable (not supplied)
to connect your DVD player to a TV or monitor
with a DVI input jack.

IMPORTANT:

Since DVI connections do not carry audio,
you will need to connect the DVD Player’s
AUDIO OUT jacks to your TV’s audio input
jacks to hear the audio from the DVD Player.

You can also use one of the digital audio
output jacks to connect the DVD Player to
an audio receiver with digital input jacks. See
