*Why HDMI connection is most recommended?

HD DVD and DVD video disc creators have the option to include copy protection instructions in their discs that prohibit the output of some standard video or high definition video (original 720p, 1080i or 1080p or up-converted 480i/576i or 480p/576p) from the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks. If such instructions are present in the disc you are playing, you must use the HDMI OUTPUT jack to view the disc in a high definition format and the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks, if activated, will output video only in 480i/576i or 480p/576p resolution.

Caution on connection

•Do not power this player using any power cord other than the one supplied with this player.

•Do not use the supplied power cord with any device other than this player.

Notes on connection

•When you connect the player to your TV, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the wall outlet before making any connections.

•Connect the player directly to your TV. If you connect the player to a VTR, TV/VTR combination, video selector or AV amplifier, the playback picture may be distorted due to copy protection.
