Preparations
Connections
Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or
amplifier.
Before making connections
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other
connections have been made.
• Connect VIDEO OUT of the player directly to the video
input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the player to a
TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing
back a copy-protected disc. You may also have a monitor
problem when connecting the player to an integrated TV/
Video system.
NOTE
If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV
COMPU LINK function. See “AV COMPU LINK remote control
system” on page 33 for details.
Connecting to a TV
The following sections A to C describe TV connections where
only a TV is connected to the player so that you will hear audio
from the TV.
A Connecting to a conventional TV
NOTE
If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need
to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output
to monaural.
B Connecting to a TV with an S-video jack
If your TV has an S-VIDEO input, you can get better picture
quality by connecting it with the S-VIDEO output of the player
using an S-video cable instead of connecting the video input of
the TV to the VIDEO jack of the player.
NOTE
When using the S-VIDEO output jack, do not connect the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player.
• In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with
“monitor” or “projector.”
• Terminal names used for other components may be different
from those used in the following description.
