Connections and Setup
Some points to check before you connect
• Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification
sticker located on the back of your appliance.
• Install your appliance horizontally, away from any source of heat (fireplace) or appliances
creating strong magnetic or electric fields.The components of this appliance are sensitive to
heat.The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius.
• Leave sufficient space around the appliance to allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm on either side
and at the rear, as well as 7 cm above the top are ideal.
• The humidity of the room should not exceed 75%. If you have to use the appliance outdoors,
do not expose it to rain or splashing water.The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping
or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.
•Moving it from a cold environment to a warm one is likely to cause condensation on some
components inside the appliance. Let the condensation disappear of its own accord before
turning the appliance on again.
• Before moving the player, make sure the disc tray is empty.

Basic connections (DVD/VCR + TV)
1. Disconnect the aerial cable from your television set and reconnect it to the AERIAL socket
of the DVD/VCR.
2. Using the coaxial cable supplied, connect the RF OUT socket of the DVD/VCR to the aerial
socket of the television set.

3. A Scart lead connection between the appliance and your television set makes it easier to use
and improves picture and sound quality. Connect the DVD/VCR’s Scart socket (EURO AV1
AUDIO/VIDEO) to the television set’s Scart socket (AV1, EXT1, AUX1, according to the
make) using the Scart lead (provided).
4. Connect the DVD/VCR to the mains socket using the mains lead.
Note: If you connect the DVD/VCR to the television set using a Scart lead, set the TV Output Select
option in the Display menu to RGB (see page 31).
Basic connections (DVD/VCR + TV + satellite or cable receiver)
1. Connect the DVD/VCR to the television set as described above (step 1 to 3).
2. Connect the satellite or cable receiver scart socket to the DVD/VCR’s second Scart socket
(EURO AV2 DECODER) using a Scart lead (not provided).
3. Connect the DVD/VCR to the mains socket using the mains lead.
Note: If one of the devices is not working, check that all the cables have been inserted properly into the
sockets which they should be connected to.
Other connection options
The basic connections (described above) are for standard-quality sound and high-quality picture
reproduction. There are other connection options available, which can produce pictures and sound
of better or poorer quality:

R sockets to the television set’s AUDIO L and R sockets
using audio cables (not provided).
Note: If your television set only has one audio socket connect it
to the DVD/VCR’s left socket (white).
The DVD exclusive sockets are dedicated to the DVD
player and offer a higher level of sound quality than the
DVD/VCR ones.
Coaxial digital audio output (COAXIAL) /
Optical digital audio output (OPTICAL)
These sockets offer a higher level of sound quality
compared to that provided using an analogue audio
connection. Use one of these sockets to connect your
DVD Player to an amplifier equipped with two-channel
digital stereo (PCM) or to an Audio/Video receiver
equipped with a multi-channel decoder (Dolby Digital,
MPEG 2 or DTS) using a digital coaxial or optical cable
(not supplied).

This socket (yellow) is also known as a composite video

two audio cables (red and white). The picture quality
obtained using a video connection is poorer compared to
that obtained using a Scart connection.
Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the
video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

DVD EXCLUSIVE COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN
VIDEO OUT sockets
The Y, Pb, Pr sockets provide optimum 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 colour-coded
to match the Y, Pb, Pr sockets (red, green and blue).
Notes:
Remember to connect the audio cables because the
component cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

If you use the YPbPr socket to connect the DVD/VCR to the
television set, set the TV Output Select option in the
Display menu to YPbPr (see page 31).
If your television is a high definition television, you may take
advantage of the DVD player’s progressive scan output to get
the highest possible video resolution. In that case you need to
set the Progressive Scan option in the Display menu to
On (see page 31).

The S-VIDEO OUT (separate video) socket provides
better picture quality than composite video (the VIDEO

the black and white part of the video signal. If your TV has
an S-Video socket, connect the DVD/VCR to the TV with
an S-Video cable (not supplied).
Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the SVideo cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

change these numbers by carrying out the instructions below (see "Sorting the channels").
7. Press to store the settings.
Note:After the automatic channel search has taken place, the time and date will set automatically. If the time is
