Determining the best possible connection...
Your existing equipment, especially your TV, determines your hookup possibili-
ties.These guidelines describe which options give the best picture and sound.
૽૽૽૽Component Video (red/green/blue jacks) provides the best picture
quality. See page 12. If your TV accepts Progressive Scan through the
Component Video connection, set PROGRESSIVE to ON at the Player.
See page 39.
૽૽૽ Composite Video (a yellow Video jack) provides good picture quality.
See page 11.
૽૽ Your TV may have only an RF-style jack, usually labeled
Antenna In or 75 ohm or RF In.You will need an RF modula-
tor in order to view the DVD Player at your TV. See page 10.
૽૽૽૽Digital audio has the clearest sound, but you must have a digital Stereo.
Connect the Player’s COAXIAL Out jack to your Stereo. See page 14.
૽૽૽ For Stereo sound, connect the Player’s white/red left/right AUDIO Out
jacks to Audio In jacks on your Stereo,TV, or RF modulator. See pages
10-13.
Before you begin...
● Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, or RF modulator. Note the style of
jacks and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose
different Audio and Video In channels/sources on your other equipment so
you can see and hear the DVD Player on the TV, Stereo, etc.
● Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect equipment to
power only after hooking up everything. Never make or change connec-
tions with equipment connected to power.
Remember...
● Connect the Player directly to a TV. For example, do not connect the
Player to a VCR, then connect the VCR to a TV.This may distort the pic-
ture and sound.Your VCR may have a copy protection system that could
distort the DVD image or prevent Disc play.
● Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called
AUX or AUXILIARY IN,AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or
External In, etc.These channels are often near channel zero (0). See your
TV manual for details. Go to your lowest TV channel (01 or 02) and
change TV channels down until you see the DVD screen on the TV. Or,
your TV’s remote may have a button or switch that selects Video In chan-
nels. Check your TV manual for details.
If you are using an RF modulator, set the TV to channel 3 or 4.
● Set the Stereo to the correct channel or “source” mode.
● Do not connect the Player’s AUDIO Out jacks to a Stereo’s PHONO IN
jack.
● You need one audio and one video connection between the Player and
your TV and/or Stereo.You will not use all the jacks on the Player.
Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 10-14.
Follow the steps for the hookup you choose.
