8Hookups

Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the DVD Player. Use only one of the connections described in the following pages.

Before you begin...

_ Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo or other devices as necessary. Note the style of jacks and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels 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 the equipment to the power outlets only after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to the power outlet.

Determining the best possible connection...

Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially your TV. However, the following guidelines describe which options have the best picture and sound quality.

-k-k-k-kComponent video provides the best picture quality.

-k-k-kS-Video provides excellent picture quality.

-k-k The yellow Video jack provides good picture quality.

_r_r If your TV has a single RF-stylejack, usually labelled Antenna In

or 75 ohm, you will need an RF adapter in order to connect the DVD Player to the TV. Ask your electronics retailer for details. The DVD picture still will exceed the quality of videotapes and other analog recordings. Details are on page nine,

Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect the DVD Player's COAXIAL jack to your Stereo for the best sound.

If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD Player's red and white AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV.
