Connecting to a TV
Before connecting
• Refer also to the instruction manual of the TV.
• When you connect the DVD Player to the TV, be sure to turn off the
power and unplug both units from the mains before making any
connections.
• Connect the DVD Player to the TV directly. If you connect the DVD
Player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination, or video selector, the playback
picture may be distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.
• Connect the plugs securely.

Making component video connections
If the TV or monitor has component video inputs, making this
type of video connection will produce the ideal picture quality for
the presentation of DVD-Video. Using a component video cable
(sold separately), connect the VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT
jacks to the corresponding component video input jacks on the
TV.
Actual labels for component video inputs may vary depending on
the TV manufacturer. (e.g. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y, C
B, CR)
In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the playback picture
may be reduced slightly or the tint may change. In such a case,
adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance.
Be sure to set the TV Aspect after connection using
the Setup Navigator explained in “Setting Up the
Player” starting on page 16 or the function setting
menu explained in “Adjusting Audio and Video
Settings” starting on page 38.
