Setup and Connections
Ensure that the power switch of this unit and
other equipment to be connected is set to off
before commencing connection.
Do not block 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 connecting audio and video cables.
Notes:
The Video output (yellow) combines the com-
plete video signal (composite) and sends it to
the TV (or to the AV Receiver) by one line
only. Use the Video output, when your TV set
is equipped with a Video input jack only.
The S (separate) video output connector sepa-
rates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals
before transmitting them to the TV set in
order to achieve a sharper picture. Use the
S-video cable when connecting 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 AV Receiver, only one of them.
Most European TV´s are equipped with SCART
connectors rather than with a normal video
input (yellow cinch). In that case the SCART
connection should be used, providing the
audio signal too. Separate analog audio con-
nections to TV are needed only if your TV is
connected to the video or S-video output.
When the audio signal is to be fed to a stereo
or Pro Logic amplifier/decoder or receiver
rather than to the TV, connect the Audio Out
jacks to any normal audio input on your
amplifier/decoder/receiver. The DVD will
”downmix” Dolby Digital recordings to Pro
Logic, available on these connectors, all ana-
log surround or stereo signals will be fed to
them directly.
You can also select the audio and video sig-
nals of all your video devices with your AV
Receiver/Amplifier. For more information see
”Note” on next page.
