Chapter 1 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.
• When 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.
Types of discs your DVD player can play
• DVD discs – contain high quality picture and
sound content.
• DVD Audio discs – contain high quality sound
content.
• Audio CDs – contain musical or sound content
only.
• Video CDs – Like DVD video discs, Video CDs
contain picture and sound content. The difference
is the amount of information that can be stored
on the disc.
• CDs with JPEG files and/or MP3 files on them.
Some discs may not be
compatible due to laser pickup
and disc design.
VIDEO CD
Install Batteries in the Remote
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.
2. Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries with the diagram on
the remote.
3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.
Important Battery Information
• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because they can
leak and cause damage.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.
• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries
are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not
intended to be recharged.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.

Notes:
The back of your TV and VCR might
look different than the ones pictured
here. Details about the different kinds
of cables used to connect your DVD
player are on page 4.
Don’t connect the DVD player to the
VCR, or through the VCR. Doing so
could negatively affect the picture
quality and/or disable the DVD player.
Connection: DVD + TV + VCR
1. Connect the audio cables to the AUDIO OUT L (left – white) and R (right – red) jacks on
the back of your DVD Player, and to the corresponding Audio Input jacks on your TV
(sometimes labeled AUDIO IN L and R).
2. Connect the video cable.
2a. Basic video connection – Connect the video cable (yellow) to the
TV VIDEO OUT jack on the back of your DVD Player, and to the Video Input jack on your TV
(sometimes labeled VIDEO IN).
– OR –
2b. S-Video (optional) – If your TV has an S-Video jack, connect the S-Video cable (not
provided) to an S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back of your DVD Player and to the S-VIDEO jack
on your TV.
– OR –
2c. If your TV has component/progressive scan video (Y, Pb, Pr) jacks, use video-grade
cables (not provided) to connect the TV to the DVD player (Y to Y, Pb to Pb, etc.). It is
essential to match the color coded connectors with a compatible TV.
Note: If your TV or monitor has progressive scanning capability, you need to set the Progressive Scan
menu (p. 32)
3. Connect the antenna or cable to the Antenna Input jack on the VCR (sometimes labeled IN
FROM ANTENNA).
4. Connect a coaxial cable to the Antenna Output jack on the VCR (OUT TO TV) and to the
Antenna Input jack (CABLE/ANTENNA) on the TV.
5. Insert the AC power cord into an AC outlet.
6. Set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch to S-VIDEO or COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN,
depending upon the type of connection you used. Either setting works for the Basic video
connection (2A). Go to page 6

Connections and Setup
Video Jacks and Cables
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y, Pb, Pr) Jacks and 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 for the
connection. There are bundled component video cables sold that are colorcoded 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.
S-VIDEO OUT Jacks and Cables
The S-Video (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than
composite video because the color is kept separate from the black and
white part of the video signal. If your TV has an S-VIDEO 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
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 an RF coaxial cable (the type used to plug the cable feed into a TV).
VIDEO OUTPUT switch
If you connect the DVD Player to a TV that is capable of progressive
scanning the signal, you need to use the Y, Pb, Pr jacks and video cables. It
is essential you turn the VIDEO OUTPUT switch to the COMPONENT/
PROGRESSIVE scan position. If you use S-VIDEO our VIDEO OUT jacks for
your connection, leave the switch in the S-VIDEO position.
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.

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; Y, Pb, Pr).
Notes:
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.
You must use the 5.1CH AUDIO OUT jacks to experience true DVD audio sound
quality when playing DVD audio discs.
DIGITAL OUT/OPTICAL and DIGITAL OUT/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 OUT/OPTICAL jack on the DVD
Player and a compatible Digital Input Optical jack on the receiver.
Note: DVD Audio discs sometimes vary in the way they are created — the sampling
can be different from one disc to the next. To enjoy maximum sound quality and
surround effect of DVD Audio, you must use 5.1 channel analog audio output
(5.1CH AUDIO OUTjacks on the back of the DVD Player). If you use the DIGITALOUT
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) for your audio connection, the sound will only be similar to
CD-quality sound even though you’re playing a DVD Audio disc.
5.1CH AUDIO OUT
Use these audio jacks to connect your DVD Player to a home theatre
system if you have one. Each one of the 5.1 Channel Audio Out jacks
maintains the audio on the same track as produced when using this audio
technology (FRONT L and R; SURROUND L and R; SUB (subwoofer); and/or
CENTER).

Chapter 3 Playing Discs
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. This player’s code is region 1.
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 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’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.
• 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.
Compatible discs
This DVD Player is capable of playing the following
types of discs: DVDs, audio CDs, Video CDs, and MP3
CDs. 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.

How to load and play a disc
Turn on the TV and your DVD Player.
1. If necessary, tune the TV to its Video Input channel (for help, go to page 41).
2. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button (the disc tray opens). Place a disc gently into the tray with
the disc’s label facing up (double-sided discs have content on both sides, so you can place
either side up).
3. Press the OPEN/CLOSE or PLAY button. The disc tray closes. The DVD Player reads the disc’s
table of contents, and then one of three things happens depending on how the disc was
programmed:
• The disc starts playing
• The disc menu appears. One of the options will start playing the disc. Highlight that option
and press OK.
• The DVD Player’s main menu appears (highlight play and press OK).
