Connecting: DVD player + TV set + VCR
If you are only connecting your player to your television set, only carry out the connections shown in stages 1 and 5. If no Scart-Peritel socket is available on the TV set consult your retailer. If you already have a VCR the connections shown in stages 3 and 4 should, in most cases, already be in place.
Recommended Audio – Video connections
1.
Connect a Scart-Peritel cable (not supplied) to the TV AUDIO VIDEO OUT (RGB) output socket at the rear of your DVD player and to the AV1 input socket of your television set (sometimes called AUX 1 or EXT 1).
2. Plug your VCR Scart-Peritel cable into the VCR/SAT/AUX/AUDIO/VIDEO IN socket on
your DVD player and into the TV socket on your VCR.
3. Plug the outside aerial or the network into the aerial in socket (IN ) on the VCR.
4. Use a coaxial cable to connect the aerial out socket on the VCR (OUT ) and the aerial in
socket ( ) on your TV set.
5. Plug the mains plug of your player into a mains socket.
Note: for UK, please see safety information regarding the mains plug at the end of this user manual, in the cover page.

Other Audio - Video connections
If there is no Scart-Peritel connector available on the television set,check if there is another Video connector (Components, S-Video or Composite) to connect your player to using the corresponding connectors (see below). In this case do not forget to also connect the Audio out socket (AUDIO OUT) to the Audio in socket (AUDIO IN) on your TV set.
Note: if your television is equipped with Component sockets and if you choose these connections, you must adjust the output signal from your Scart-Peritel socket from RGB to YUV and select Progressive Scan (see page 29). For more information about signals, cables and Audio/Video sockets refer to pages 6 and 7.

VIDEO sockets and cables (for image)
1 -
Component output (Y, Pr, Pb)
YPrPb
sockets deliver an optimum image quality due to the separation of the video signal into three separate components (comparable with RGB separation in a Scart-Peritel cable).
Note: the video signal available from these 3 sockets depends on the choice made in the
Display menu (page 29) or that carried out using the PREV/video key on
the front of your player (page 8).The available signal may be,YUV for an interlaced progressive signal,or Y, Pr, Pb for a truly progressive signal (no frame interlacing).
In order to obtain the best possible image quality, always use very high quality cables for the connections.Your dealer can provide Y, Pr, Pb cables that are sold together and come in the standard colour codes (red, green and blue) used for these types of sockets and cables.
Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because Component cables only transmit images, and not sound.
2 -
S-Video out socket (Y/C)
The S-Video socket delivers a lower quality video signal than component sockets.An S-Video signal however provides a better quality image than a composite video socket, because colour (C) is separate from black and white (Y) in the video signal.
Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because the S-Video cable transmits images and not sound.
3 -
Composite Video Out socket (CVBS)
The yellow video socket is also called composite video, or CVBS.The image quality delivered by the video socket is the least good of all video connections. Only use this socket if all other sockets are already in use.
Sockets and cables
There are several ways in which you can incorporate your DVD player into an Audio-Video system.The simplest of these is described on page 3.This uses Scart-Peritel cables that combine Audio analogue connections for sound, and Video for the RGB image. This connection ensures the optimum image quality (like Y, Pr, Pb).If you cannot use Scart-Peritel sockets, the explanations on this and the following page should enable to you to choose the method of connection best suited to the sockets and appliances you have. Sound and image quality depend to a large extent on the types of connections used.

cables for
Y, Pr, Pb Video
signals, also called
Component.

AUDIO sockets and cables (for sound)
4 -
Audio Out L / R
Analogue sound of a disc being played is permanently available on the two L and R sockets on your player. If you do not use the recommended Scart­Peritel connection to the TV set (paragraph 1 on page 3), you must, in addition to one of the video connections (CVBS ; S-VIDEO ;Y, Pr, Pb) described on page 4, connect the Audio Out L / R sockets on your DVD player of your TV set (or amplifier) to the Audio In L / R sockets.
Note: audio sockets and cables are usually identified by a colour code (white for the left channel and red for the right channel). To play an Audio DVD on 2 loudspeakers in very high quality stereo, if the Audio DVD provides a 192 KHz/24 bits signal you should use the 2 stereo channels, L and R (marked (4) on page 6).
5 -
Audio Outputs FRONT, SURROUND, CENTER,SUBWOOFER
The analogue 5.1 Surround sound from an Audio DVD in playback is permanently available from these 6 sockets for connection to a 5.1 amplifier. If your amplifier does not have these 6 sockets, use one of the optical (OPTICAL) or coaxial (COAXIAL) digital audio out sockets according to the type of cable and plug available. In such case, you will not obtain multi-channel sound.
Note : for optimum results, use high quality cables and ensure the right and left channels are connected accordingly.
6 -
Optical and coaxial Out sockets
The digital sound from a Video DVD in playback is permanently available at the optical and coaxial sockets on your player. Use one of these sockets by connecting it to a decoder or a DTS or Dolby Digital amplifier. Some of these appliances are equipped with a coaxial In socket (COAXIAL) or an optical In socket (OPTICAL), while others are equipped with both sockets. Choose one of the two connections.
Note: In most cases these two types of connection give similar results; the only difference lies in the type of cable used and the cost of these cables, the coaxial cable being the least expensive one to buy. However it sometimes happens that some coaxial cables are parasitised by high frequency interference caused by household electrical appliances, high voltage electric cables or radio transmitters.
Note : when connecting the optical audio digital cable:
1. Remove the protection cap from the connector and connect it firmly as shown on the drawing.
2. Keep the protection cap and always reattach the cap when the connector is not in use, to keep it dustfree.
