Setup and Connections

Ensure that the power switch of this unit and other equipment to be connected is set to off before commencing connection.

Do not block ventilation holes of any of the equipment and arrange them so that air can circulate freely.

Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment.

Notes:

The Video output (yellow) combines the com- plete video signal (composite) and sends it to the TV (or to the AV Receiver) by one line only. Use the Video output, when your TV set is equipped with a Video input jack only.

The S (separate) video output connector sepa- rates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals before transmitting them to the TV set in order to achieve a sharper picture. Use the S-video cable when connecting the player to a TV equipped with an S-video input

for improved picture clarity. Never connect both outputs, Video and S-Video, to your TV or AV Receiver, only one of them.

Most European TV´s are equipped with SCART connectors rather than with a normal video input (yellow cinch). In that case the SCART connection should be used, providing the audio signal too. Separate analog audio con- nections to TV are needed only if your TV is connected to the video or S-video output.

When the audio signal is to be fed to a stereo or Pro Logic amplifier/decoder or receiver rather than to the TV, connect the Audio Out jacks to any normal audio input on your amplifier/decoder/receiver. The DVD will ”downmix” Dolby Digital recordings to Pro Logic, available on these connectors, all ana- log surround or stereo signals will be fed to them directly.

You can also select the audio and video sig- nals of all your video devices with your AV Receiver/Amplifier. For more information see ”Note” on next page.
