Notes:
• You can also change the TV screen to the desired mode by pressing the CH +/– buttons.
• The TV/DVD can also be used as a display device for many video games. However, due to the wide variety of different types of signal
generated by these devices and subsequent hook-up variations required, they have not all been included in the suggested connection

Connecting to an optional equipment with S-video output
If you connect a VCR with an S-VIDEO cable to the S-VIDEO IN jack on the rear lower left of the TV/DVD, you
must also connect the audio cables to the AUDIO IN jacks on the rear lower left of the TV/DVD (LINE 1 IN). The
S-VIDEO cable only carries the video signal. The audio signal is separate.
Note: When the S-VIDEO cable and the standard video cable are connected at the same time, the S-video cable takes precedence.

COMPONENT
When using the Component video cable,
an Audio cable must be connected to
AUDIO IN (L/R) (LINE 1 IN) jacks.
The ColorStream® inputs on this unit are for use with devices that output 480i interlaced signals and 480p progressive signals. This
unit will not accept or display 720p progressive scan signals or 1080i interlaced high-definition signals. If you connect a highdefinition set-top receiver, 720p progressive scan DVD player, or other similar device to the unit’s ColorStream® inputs, YOU MUST
SWITCH THE DEVICE’S OUTPUT TO 480i INTERLACED OR 480p PROGRESSIVE MODE FIRST. Failure to do this will cause a
poor or no picture to display.
Notes:
• Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment as well.
• When you connect the unit to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlet
before making any connections.
• If you place the unit near a tuner or radio, the radio broadcast sound might be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the
tuner and radio.
