Connections with the TV or audio component

The exact arrangement you use to interconnect various video and audio components to the DVD/VCR is dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the OwnerÕs Manual provided with each component for the location of video and audio inputs and outputs.

Connect to a TV with Audio/Video output

You can enjoy playback by connecting the unit to a TV.

Connect the unit to a TV equipped with audio input (L/R) and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video cable.

Note

¥When connecting to a TV using the video or S-Video jack, make sure that the progressive indicator on the display window is not lit. If it is lit, the video and S-Video outputs do not feed the correct signals and you cannot see any picture. To turn off the progressive indicator, make the progressive scanning mode inactive (see page 47).

¥If the component video input jacks on a TV are the BNC type, use an adapter to convert the RCA jacks from the component video cables to BNC (not supplied).
