Connecting a DVD Player

The RD 50/65 is equipped with state-of-the-art deinterlacing circuitry that is superior to the technology provided in most DVD players. The recommended input for DVD players is the SD input with DVD player output mode set to 480i.

Furthermore, please make sure the TV-type or TV aspect ratio is selected as widescreen (16:9) on the DVD player. The TV will work fine even if the TV's aspect ratio is set to the DVD player's default 4:3 ratio. However, the DVD player itself will output video at 33% lower resolution in 4:3 mode when playing back a 16:9 enhanced movie.

If you have a good progressive scan DVD player, you can connect the component video to either HD1 or HD2.

If your DVD player only has an S-Video or composite video output, connect it to the AV1, AV2 or AV3 of the TV. For better quality, only use composite video when the other options are not available.

Connect the DVD player's analog audio output (left and right channel) to the TV's audio input for the video source intended for DVD player.
