Things to consider before you connect
Protect components from overheating
•Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so
that air can circulate freely.
Don’t stack components.
•When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf.
Position cables properly to avoid audio interference
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of
the TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.
If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the
twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Connection Pictures
Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection
pictures in this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).

Types of discs your DVD player can play
•DVD discs – contain picture and sound (DVD-R, DVD+RW are compatible with this player) .
CDs (CD-R, CD-RW) – Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only. mp3 discs are CDs that contain mp3
files. This product also plays CDs that contain JPEG files and Multisession CDs.
Video CD (VCD) and Super Video CD (S-VCD) discs – Like DVD video discs, VCDs contain picture and sound
content. The difference is the amount of information that can be stored on the disc. VCDs typically have lower
picture and sound quality than DVD discs. Super Video CDs (S-VCDs) can be used to record up to 70 minutes
of digital sound and video, with MPEG-2 standard video and MPEG-1 standard audio. S-VCD disc
compatibility is dependent on which MPEG coding software, disc design software, disc writer software are
used, and the discs themselves.
Some discs may not be
compatible due to laser pickup
and disc design.
