General Notes on connections
Never make or change connections with
the power switched on.
• Depending on the equipment you wish
to connect, there are various ways you
could connect this unit. Possible
connections are shown in the following
drawings.
• Please refer to the manuals of other
equipment as necessary to make the
best connections.
• Do not connect this unit via your VCR.
The video quality could be distorted by
the copy protection system.
• Do not connect this unit’s audio out
jack to the phono in jack of your audio
system.
Digital Connections
This unit has COAXIAL and OPTICAL
digital out jacks. Connect one or both of
them to your AV receiver equipped with
Dolby digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder
using a commercially available cable.
Note:
– If the audio format of the digital output
does not match the capabilities of your
receiver, the receiver will produce a strong,
distorted sound or no sound at all. Make
sure to select the appropriate audio format
at menu screen included on the disc.
Pressing AUDIO once or more may change
not only audio languages but also audio
formats, and the selected format appears
for several seconds on the status window.
Analog Connections
Use the supplied audio pin cable to
connect AUDIO OUT L (left) and R (right)
jacks of this unit to corresponding input
jacks of your audio equipment such as
Stereo amplifier.

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 4 types of video output
jacks. Use one of them in accordance with
the input jacks of the equipment to be
connected.

S-Video terminal <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.
Composite Video terminal <B>
Use the supplied video pin cable when
connecting the player to an AV receiver.
Component Video terminal <C>
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). 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.
Note:
– You need to set this unit’s component
output to YUV (see page 22 “Switching the
YUV/RGB”).
SCART Connection <D>
If your TV has only terminal for video
input, and you want to connect it directly
to this unit, you can use this unit’s SCART
output jack.
Note:
– Ensure that the “TV” indication on SCART
cable is connected to the TV set and “DVD”
indication on SCART cable is connected to
this unit.
