1- Audio Out L / R

Analogue sound of a disc being played is permanently available on the two L and R sockets on your player. If you do not use the recommended Scart Peritel connection to your TV set (page 3) you must, in addition to the CVBS video connection described on page 4, connect the L and R audio out sockets on your DVD player to the L and R audio in sockets on your TV set (or amplifier).

Note: audio sockets and cables are usually identified by a colour code (white for the left channel and red for the right channel).

2 - Coaxial out socket
