Connect the unit to a TV equipped with stereo audio input and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video cables.

•If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output to monaural.

•If your TV has an S-video input, you should connect it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit using the supplied S- video cable in addition to the (standard) video connection to get better picture quality.

•The ATTENUATOR switch should be normally set to OFF. If you hear distorted audio because the sensitivity of the TV’s audio input is too high, set this switch to ON.

The unit is compatible with the PAL and NTSC color systems. Set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on the rear panel to match the color system of your TV. Make sure that the color system of the DVD/Video CD/SVCD disc labeled on the package matches your TV.

If you use a multi-system TV, you can play discs recorded on both PAL and NTSC systems.

NOTE

•Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc.
