Mains Cord

This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a nonrewireable plug the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement available from the appliance manufacturer is obtained. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the rating marking on the base of the plug. If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug removed must be disposed of safely as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. For your own safety read the following instructions carefully before attempting to connect this unit to mains. The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE=NEUTRAL, BROWN=LIVE

Important

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

Avoid the Hazards of Electrical Shock and Fire

• Do not handle the mains cable with wet hands.

• Do not pull on the mains cable to disconnect it from AC outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

• If, by accident, water is spilled on the unit, unplug the mains cable immediately and take the unit to an authorised service centre for servicing.

Moisture Condensation Warning

Moisture condensation may occur inside the unit when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, or under conditions of high humidity. Do not use the unit for at least 2 hours to allow the inside to dry.

Connecting to a TV

Connect the unit to a TV after considering the capabilities of your existing equipment.

Before installation, plug off your TV and this unit.

1 Connect the antenna or cable to the

ANTENNA IN jack of this unit.

2 Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack of

this unit to the Aerial jack of your TV. Use the supplied RF cable.

Using the Scart socket

3 Connect AV1 (TV) Scart socket of

this unit to the Scart socket of your TV. Use a commercially available Scart cable.

Note

• If your TV does not have a Scart socket, use a commercially available Scart adaptor or Scart/RCA cable to connect. Use only AV1 (TV) or AV2 (DECODER) socket for the VCR output signals of this unit.

• Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the AV cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy protection system.

• Teletext can only be output in VCR mode through AV1 (TV) out.

• When changing the “Video Out” setting (“SCART (RGB)”, “Component (Interlace)” or “Component (Progressive)”), connect to the corresponding jack on the TV. If the setting is changed, for example, to “Component (Interlace)” or “Component (Progressive)” while the scart cable is connected to the TV, a distorted video signal may result.

• If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (576p/480p), connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of the unit and set “Video Out” setting to “Component (Progressive)” in “Setup” menu. (See pages 81 to 82.) Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode.

• If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set “Video Out” setting to “Component (Interlace)”.

• Use a commercially available adaptor if the Video input jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.

• Only component and HDMI connections are compatible with the Progressive Scan.

RF cable (not supplied)

Using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks and the AUDIO OUT jacks (for DVD or Tuner)

If your TV has a Component Video input jack, use a Component Video cable (to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks) and an Audio Cable (to connect the AUDIO OUT(L/R) jacks).

• Component connection provides the better quality picture.

1 Follow the steps 1 and 2 on this page

in “Connecting to a TV”.

2 Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO

OUT jacks of this unit to Component Video input jacks of your TV. Use a commercially available Component video cable.

3 Connect the AUDIO OUT (L/R) jacks

[HDMI CONNECTION]

A simple 1-cable connection with a device having an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) connector allows digital transfer of both digital video signals and multi-channel audio signals. This is the best method to connect this unit. It can minimise the deterioration of image quality. Use the HDMI cable (commercially available) for connection. Connect the HDMI output jack of this unit to the HDMI input jack of TV.

If the connected device is not compatible with HDMI BITSTREAM, audio will be output as PCM even if you select “Stream” in “Dolby Digital” setting. (See page 79.)

To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (highbandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device (or AV amplifier) for more information. *HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface

Note

• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices with an HDMI input may not operate properly with this unit.

• When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.

• This unit does not support Regza link or CEC control.

• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) may be limited by the device that is connected.

• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In connections with device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.

• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.

• If the connected equipment is not compatible with HDMI BITSTREAM, DTS sound will not be output.

• When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might occur. Please check and set the HDMI setting again.

Connecting to an External Equipment

This unit has four input terminals which can be selected using [INPUT SELECT ] on the remote control, AV1 or AV2 on the rear panel and AV3 or DV (AV4) on the front panel. Be sure that all the units are off before making connections.
