Connecting up

1Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO OUT (2ch) jacks to a set of A/V inputs on your TV.

Use the supplied audio/video cable, connecting the red and white plugs to the audio outputs and the yellow plug to the video output. Make sure you match up the left and right audio outputs with their corresponding inputs for correct stereo sound.

See below if you want to use a component or S-video cable for the video connection.

2Connect the supplied AC power cable to the AC IN inlet, then plug into a power outlet.

Note

•Before unplugging the player from the power outlet, make sure you first switch it into standby using either the front panel STANDBY/ON button, or the remote control, and wait of the -OFF-message to disappear from the player’s display.

•For the above reasons, do not plug this player into a switched power supply found on some amplifiers and AV receivers.

Connecting using the S-video output

If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-video (S1) input, you can use the S-video output on this player instead of the standard (composite) output for a better quality picture.

•Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-video input on your TV (or monitor or AV receiver).

Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the plug before plugging in.

•Use a component video cable (not supplied) to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a component video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.
