You may connect the DVD Player several different ways, depending on your existing equipment and your pref-
erences for sound and picture quality. To determine which hookup is best for you, examine the options on the
following pages, then see which best matches your situation. Before you hook up the DVD Player, remember:
● Connect the DVD Player directly to a TV. If you connect the DVD Player to a VCR, then connect the VCR
to the TV, the picture may be distorted by the copyright protection system.
● Turn off the power of all equipment before making any connections.
● Refer to the owner’s manuals of your other equipment for additional information.
● Depending on your connection, you may need to purchase additional cables.
● If you do not connect the DVD Player to a Dolby Digital or DTS Decoder, set DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS
to OFF on the DVD Player. Details are on pages 11 and 38-39. If you play a DVD when the settings are
wrong, the sound will be distorted or you may damage the speakers.

Connect the red and white audio cables to the red and white AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD
Player and to the red and white AUDIO IN jacks on the TV, matching the cable colors to the
jack colors. If the TV has a single AUDIO IN jack, use the white audio cable to connect the DVD Player’s
white AUDIO OUT jack to the TV’s AUDIO IN jack. You will not use the red audio cable.

Connect the yellow video cable to the VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD Player and to the VIDEO
IN jack on the TV.

Turn on the TV and set it to the Audio/Video In channel, which also may be referred to as A/V In or
Auxiliary In. This channel usually is located near channel 00. See your TV owner’s manual for details.
