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.

Preparation

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 IN

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.
