Video Connections

If your AV receiver has video output jacks,
connect your receiver (and then to your TV) so
that you can use one TV for several different
video sources (LD, VCR etc.) by simply switching
the input source selector of your receiver.
The player has three types of video output jacks.
Use one of them in accordance with the input
jacks of the equipment to be connected.

Preparation

S-Video jacks <A>

S (separate) video connection achieves a clearer
picture than composite video connection by
separating color and luminance when transmitting
signals. Use commercially available S-video cable.
Receiver (and TV) with S-video input is required.

Component Video jacks <B>

Component video connection achieves high
fidelity in reproducing colors (better performance
than S-video connection), separating video signal
into luminance (Y, terminal color-coded as green),
and color difference (Pb, blue/Pr, red).

SCAN MODE selector

This switch will change the type of NTSC signal
output from the Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y VIDEO OUT on
the player.

480p:

Select progressive when you have a TV that can
accept progressive signals to enjoy accurate
colour reproduction and high quality images.

480i:

Select this setting when connected to a standard
(interlace format) TV.

CONSUMERS SHOULD NOTE THAT NOT ALL
HIGH DEFINITION TELEVISION SETS ARE
FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH THIS PRODUCT
AND MAY CAUSE ARTIFACTS TO BE
DISPLAYED IN THE PICTURE. IN CASE OF 525
PROGRESSIVE SCAN PICTURE PROBLEMS, IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT THE USER SWITCH
THE CONNECTION TO THE “STANDARD
DEFINITION” OUTPUT. IF THERE ARE
QUESTIONS REGARDING OUR VIDEO
MONITOR COMPATIBILITY WITH THIS
MODEL 525P DVD PLAYER, PLEASE CONTACT
OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.

This unit is compatible with the complete line of
YAMAHA projectors, including the DPX-1, LPX­500, PDM-1 and DPX-1000.

Use commercially available coaxial cables.
Receiver (and TV) with component input is
required. Observe the color of each jack when
connecting. If your receiver does not have
component output jacks, connecting the player’s
component output directly to your TV’s
component input can reproduce better video
image.

Composite Video jacks <C>

Use audio/video cable supplied with this player
when connecting the player to a TV.

Parental Control

Movies on DVDs may contain scenes not suitable
for children. Therefore, discs may contain
‘Parental Control’ information which applies to
the complete disc or to certain scenes on the disc.
These scenes are rated from 0 to 8, and
alternative, more suitable scenes are available on
the disc. Ratings are country dependent. The
‘Parental Control’ feature allows you to prevent
discs from being played by your children or to
have certain discs played with alternative scenes.
