S-VIDEOINVIDEO

HDMI

Note: Whenever you are connecting your system cables, turn off the power and make certain

that the power cord has been removed from the wall outlet.

Use Audio Cable (Red/White), Video Cable (Yellow) to connect the DVD player and your TV.

1. Connect the audio cables to the AUDIO OUT L and R jacks on the back of your DVD player and to the corresponding AUDIO INPUT jacks on your TV .

2. Connect the Video cable

• Basic connection — Connect the video cable to the VIDEO OUT jack on the back of your DVD player, and to the VIDEO INPUT jack on your TV . Or

• S-VIDEO — If your TV set has an S-Video jack, connect the S-Video cable to the S-Video jack on the DVD to the S-Video of your TV.

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.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) Socket

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 miniplug cable. Note: There is no DTS decoder built-in the unit. If you selected DVD disc to DTS output, there

is no sound output from TV. Use AUDIO MENU button at remote control to other audio outputs. Make sure you set the HDMI setup option in the menu system to the resolution setting that most closely matches your TV.

Y, P B, PR sockets deliver an optimum image quality due to the separation of the video signal into three separate components. In order to obtain the best possible image quality, always use very high quality cables for the connections. Note: Do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because Component cables only transmit
