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.

Component Video terminal <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). 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 terminal (1, 2) <C>

Use audio/video cable supplied with this unit
when connecting the player to a TV.
VIDEO 1, 2 jacks of VIDEO OUT output the
same signal. You can connect one to your
receiver’s input using supplied Audio/Video cable,
and the other to another receiver or a TV.

Parental Control

Movies on DVDs may contain scenes which are
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 1 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.

● VCD, SVCD, CD have no level indication, so

parental control function has no effect on those
kinds of discs. This applies to most illegal DVD
discs.

● You can follow the steps below to setup the

parental control:

1 Press 34 to highlight “Parental”.

for children. All scenes with a rating higher than
you set will be skipped during playback. However
if the disc contains alternate scenes, these will play
automatically. If not, the playback will stop and the
six digits code will need to be entered again.
