he following instructions explain how to

capability to the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks on
your TV.
To make the connections, you will need:

RCA connectors)
• two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA connectors).

• If after connecting your DVD player your
display is filled with wavy lines, it may be
that your DVD player is not set to progres-
sive-scan mode. Some DVD players have an
I/P (interlaced/progressive scan) switch
located on the back or front of the players for
changing from interlaced to progressive-scan
mode. Other DVD players may allow the
mode to be changed by pressing a button on
the DVD player’s remote control or by using
the DVD player’s onscreen menu. If the
interlaced/progressive-scan selection
option is provided only through the DVD
onscreen menu, you will need to connect
the DVD player to another AV input
source in addition to HD INPUT-AV 4 to
see the DVD menu. Select this additional
AV source on screen to see the DVD menu
and choose progressive-scan mode. You
will then be able to see the DVD picture
through the AV4 source.
• Some DVD players have dedicated progres-
sive-scan output jacks that are labeled as
such and require no switching to provide a
picture through the HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks.
See your DVD player’s directions-for-use
manual for information.
• The default color-space setting for the
HD INPUT-AV 4 jacks is YPbPr. RGB is
also an option. If the picture’s color looks
grossly incorrect, try changing either the
DVD player’s or TV’s color-space setting.
See the DVD player’s directions-for-use
manual for information on setting its color
space. Or see page 59 in this manual to set
the TV’s color space.
• The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) feature does
not function with AV4 or AV5.
