1 Connect a coaxial digital audio cable (not supplied) to the Player’s black COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack and to the Stereo’s COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO IN jack.

2 Connect the supplied yellow video cable to the Player’s yellow VIDEO OUT jack and to the TV’s VIDEO IN jack.

3 Set the Player’s INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE SCAN switch to I (interlace).

4 Plug in the Stereo’s power cord. Turn on the Stereo and select the Auxiliary IN station or source mode. See your Stereo owner’s manual for details.

5 Plug in the TV’s power cord. Turn on the TV and set it to the correct Video In channel.

This channel may be labeled A/V or Audio/Video, Aux or Auxiliary, EXT or External, etc. This channel is usually near channel zero, or your TV’s remote control may have a but- ton or switch that lets you select the Video In channel. Or, go to your lowest TV channel (01 or 02) and change chan- nels downward until you find the Video In channel. If you cannot find the Video In channel, check your TV manual.

6 Plug in the Player’s power cord. Press STANDBY- ON y to turn on the Player. You should see the DVD logo on the TV screen. If you do not, check your connec- tions and make sure the TV is on the correct Video In channel.

Helpful Hints

•Some Discs are recorded in a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital Surround format. These Discs will sound best if you connect the DVD Player to a Stereo that has Dolby Digital.

•Set DOLBY DIGITAL to ON if you connect the Player to a Dolby Digital-compatible Stereo. Details are on page 37.

•Select 5.1 channel Dolby Digital Surround sound if available in the DVD’s menu.

•You may use S-Video or Component Video instead. See pages 11-12 for these optional video connections. Remember, you only need one video connec- tion between the TV and the DVD Player.
