Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

Things to consider before you connect

Protect components from overheating

•Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

•Don’t stack components.

•When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

•If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf.

Position cables properly to avoid audio interference

•Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

•If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.

•If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Connection Pictures

Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video). Graphics contained within this publication are for representation only.

CAUTION: You must turn off the Digital Media Recorder before you move it. Moving the unit while it is powered on could damage the hard disk drive.

VIDEO CD

Some discs may not be compatible due to laser pickup and disc design.

Types of discs your DVD player can play

•DVD discs – contain picture and sound (DVD-R, DVD+RW are compatible with this player) .

•CDs (CD-R, CD-RW) – Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only. MP3 discs are CDs that contain MP3 files. This player is also capable of playing CDs that contain JPEG files.

•Video CD discs – Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. The difference is the amount of information that can be stored on the disc. VCDs typically have lower picture and sound quality than DVD discs.
