Connection to a television
Although the audio on most DVDs is designed to be played through six speakers and this unit’s factory settings assume this setup, the following
describes the basic connections that allow you to enjoy sound through your television’s speakers. To get the full benefit from the powerful
5.1-channel audio found on DVDs, you should connect an amplifier and six speakers. Descriptions of this kind of connection start on page 22.
Before connection
≥Disconnect the AC power supply cord.
≥Refer to the television’s operating instructions.

[A] S VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO
OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y)
signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
[B] COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal
These terminals provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT
terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color differ-
ence signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to
achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
≥The description of the component video input terminals depends on
the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).
≥Connect to terminals of the same color.
≥After making this connection, change the black level for a better
picture (➡ page 19, Video—Black Level Control).
Conserving power

off (approx. 2 W). To save power when the unit is not to be used for a
long time, unplug it from the household AC outlet.
Connect Your Unit Directly To Your
Television.
