Connections and Setup
Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all components befor e you plug any of their power cor ds into the wall outlet.
• T urn off the TV and/or components befor e you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sur e all antennas and cables ar e properly gr ounded. Refer to the Impor tant Safeguar ds
sheet packed with your DVD player .
Protect Components from Overheating
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air
can circulate fr eely.
• Don’t stack components.
• When you place components in a stand, make sur e you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio r eceiver or amplifier , place it on the top shelf so the heated air fr om
it won’ t flow ar ound other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
• Insert each cable fir mly 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 fr om audio/video cables.
Connection Pictures
Audio/video cables ar e usually bundled together . For better visibility , the connection pictur es in
this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).
Note: The illustrations in this book are representational, and in some instances may not
exactly match the item represented.

Types of Discs Your DVD Player will Play
• DVD video discs – DVD video discs contain high quality pictur e and
sound content.
• Audio discs – Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only.
• Video CD discs – Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain pictur e and
sound content. The dif ference is the amount of infor mation that can be
stor ed on the disc.

Both Dolby Digital and DTS ar e audio for mats used to r ecord 5.1-channel audio signals onto the
digital track of film (while the film is being made). Both of these for mats pr ovide up to six separate
channels: left, right, center , left r ear, right r ear, and common subwoofer .
The disc will play 5.1-channel sound only if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby Digital r eceiver or
decoder and if the original movie the disc was r ecor ded fr om was encoded in the Dolby Digital or
DTS format.
Please Read This Before Using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT Jack!
This player’s digital output jack is designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS
receiver or decoder.
Older digital equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a
connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could
damage headphones or speakers.
It is important to choose the correct Digital Output setting in the DVD Player’s Sound menu,
especially when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. For more information, see chapter 5.

Regional Coding
Both the DVD player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes
must match in order for the disc to play. If the codes don’t match, the disc
won’t play. This player’s code is region 4.
Using Different Menus
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate ways
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 varies
according to how the disc was authored and what features are included.
The disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the
MENU button on the remote.
• The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu system is accessed
only when a disc isn’t playing. Press MENU on the remote to bring up the
DVD player menu.
Remember that a feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that
feature. For example, if you have subtitles turned on, the subtitles will only
appear if the disc was created with subtitles. If a menu item is “grayed out” it
means that item isn’t available.
• Information Banners – Banners are a type of information display that
appear across the top of the screen during playback. Information banners
are activated by pressing the INFO button on the remote.
Loading and Playing Discs
Your DVD player plays DVD discs and audio CD discs. Before you load a disc,
make sure that it is compatible with the player. The following discs CANNOT
be used with this player:
• Laserdiscs
• CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM
• Discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM)
• CD-G discs play audio only, not graphics

remote control).

What is a Video CD?
Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. Video
CDs (VCDs) are encoded in a different format. VCDs don’t hold as much
information as DVD discs and the picture quality is not as high.
VCDs are divided into tracks, and each track is divided into indexes. A track is
similar to a title and an index is similar to a chapter.
The Video CD Disc Menu
A Video CD disc is capable of having an on-screen menu that is separate from
the DVD player’s menu system and on-screen infomation banners. If the disc
has a menu, the menu will appear after the disc is loaded into the player.
The content and operation of disc menus varies from disc to disc. Check the
instructions that accompany the Video CD for more information on how to use
the playback control functions for that specific disc.
If a disc menu appears:
1. Use the number buttons on the remote to select a track (similar to a title).
2. Press OK or PLAY on the remote to begin playback of the selected track.
3. Press SKIP+ or SKIP- on the remote to scroll through the tracks.
4. Press the MENU button on the remote to stop playback and return to the
disc menu, or press STOP and MENU to stop playback and bring up the
DVD player menu.
To bring up the disc menu during disc play, press the MENU button on the
