2.2 - Connecting Your DVD Player

You have several options for connecting your DVD player to your new P42 Plasma TV - DVI, Component, S-Video, and Composite inputs. Based on your home theater configuration, you can decide which option is the right one for you.

2.2.1 - Using Digital Video

DVD players that have a digital interface compliant with the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard, such as the BRAVO D2 DVI Enabled DVD Player from V, Inc., should be connected to the DVI input of the VIZIO P42 Plasma TV.

Note:

a)Use TMDS signals conforming to DVI standards. The TMDS input is a single link input.

b)To maintain the display quality, use a DVI cable from V, Inc. that is 10 meters or less.

Installation:

1.Turn off the power to the Plasma TV and DVD player.

2.Connect a DVI-D cable to the DVI output of your DVD player and the other end to the DVI input in the rear of your Plasma TV.

3.Connect the Audio on your DVD player to the DVI HDTV/RGB PC Audio In next to the DVI In connection in the rear of your Plasma TV.

4.Turn on the power to the Plasma TV and your DVD player.

5.Select DVI using the INPUT button on the front of the Plasma TV.

Note:

a)The DVI input on your Plasma TV supports High-bandwidth Content Protection (HDCP). HDCP encrypts the transmission between the video source and the digital display for added security and protection.

b)Refer to your DVD player user manual for more information about the video output requirements of the product.
