NOTES:

•The video output (yellow) combines the complete video signal (composite) and sends it to the TV (or to the A/V receiver) by one cable only. Use the video output when your TV set is equipped with

a video input jack only.

•The S (separate) video output connector separates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals before trans- mitting them to the TV set in order to achieve a

sharper picture. Use the S-Video cable when con- necting 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 A/V receiver; use only one of them.

•When the audio signal is to be fed to an analog receiver rather than to the TV, connect the audio out jacks to any normal audio input on your amplifier/ decoder/receiver. The DVD 25 will “downmix”

Dolby Digital recordings to Pro Logic®*, available on these connectors; all analog surround or stereo signals will be fed to them directly. You can also select the audio and video signals of all your video devices with your A/V receiver/amplifier. For more information see the “NOTE” on next page.
