SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
Ensure that the power switch of this unit (and of
other equipment to be connected) is set to “Off”
before commencing connection.
Do not block the ventilation holes of any of the
equipment and arrange them so that air can
circulate freely.
Read through the instructions before connecting
other equipment.
Ensure that you observe the color-coding when con-
necting audio and video cables.
NOTES:
The video output (yellow) combines the complete
video signal (composite) and sends it to the TV
(or to the A/V receiver) by one cable only. Use the
video output when your TV set is equipped with
a video input jack only.
The S (separate) video output connector separates
the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals before trans-
mitting them to the TV set in order to achieve a
sharper picture. Use the S-Video cable when con-
necting the player to a TV equipped with an S-Video
input for improved picture clarity. Never connect
both outputs, video and S-Video, to your TV or A/V
receiver; use only one of them.
When the audio signal is to be fed to an analog
receiver rather than to the TV, connect the audio out
jacks to any normal audio input on your amplifier/
decoder/receiver. The DVD 25 will “downmix”
Dolby Digital recordings to Pro Logic
®
*, available on
these connectors; all analog surround or stereo
signals will be fed to them directly. You can also
select the audio and video signals of all your video
devices with your A/V receiver/amplifier. For more
information see the “NOTE” on next page.

NOTE: While we suggest the use of S-Video
for higher quality pictures, you may also use
the standard composite video connection if
your TV does not have an S-Video input. Only
one video connection is needed, not both.
