AUDIO OUT Jacks: Red and white jacks on the back of the DVD Player
that send audio to another system (TV or stereo).
COAXIAL jack: Sends digital audio to a stereo, allowing you to adjust the
volume at the stereo. The stereo must have a Coaxial In jack. This connection
provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters. The
Player’s Coaxial jack is black.
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y Pr/Cr Pb/Cb) Jacks: Green, red, and
blue jacks on the back of the DVD Player that send high-quality video to a TV
that has Component Video In jacks.
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as
used in movie theaters.
Letterbox: A TV Aspect setting (4:3). Displays the DVD picture in full-
width, with black bars at the top and bottom of the TV screen. This format is
used often when you see a movie in a theater. If the DVD is not recorded in
letterbox format, selecting Letterbox will have no effect. (For example, some
DVDs are two-sided, with one side playing in Letterbox and the other side
playing in a normal format.)
Pan & Scan: A TV Aspect setting (4:3). Displays the video with full-height
picture, with one or both sides of the picture trimmed to fit your TV screen.
Remote Control: The small electronic unit that came with your DVD
Player; allows you to operate your DVD Player from a distance.
S-Video: Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the lumi-
nance and the color. If you connect an optional S-Video cable, you will not
need to use the supplied yellow video cable. You can use S-Video only if your
TV has an S-Video In jack.
VIDEO OUT Jack: Yellow jack on the rear of the DVD Player that sends
video to a TV. Use the supplied yellow video cable to make this connection.
Wide: A TV Aspect setting (16:9). Displays the video appropriately when
you connect the DVD Player to a widescreen TV.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the DVD Player
