Hookups 9
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the DVD Player. Use only one of the connections described in the following pages.
Before you begin...
●Refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo System or other devices as necessary. Note the style of jacks and connectors on the other equip- ment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear the DVD Player on the TV, Stereo, etc.
●Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets only after you have finished hook- ing up everything. Never make or change connections with equip- ment connected to the power outlet.
Determining the best possible connection...
Your hookup will be determined primarily by feature availability of your existing equipment. However, the following guidelines describe which options have the best picture and sound quality.
Use Component Video jacks (Pr/Cr, Pb/Cb, Y) for the best picture quality.
Use Progressive Scan (PROGRESSIVE SCAN OUT Pr/Cr,
Pb/Cb, Y) if your TV has Progressive Scan Video In jacks. Use the DVD Player’s PROGRESSIVE SCAN OUT jacks instead of the Player’s Pr/Cr, Pb/Cb, Y Component Video jacks.

Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect one of the DVD Player’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jacks (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) to your Stereo Receiver for the best sound quality.
If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD Player’s red and white AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo Receiver or TV.
Remember...
●Connect the DVD Player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the DVD Player to a VCR, then connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may distort the picture and sound. Also, your VCR might have the copy protection system, which could further dis- tort the DVD image.
●Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN, AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1, EXT2, or External In, etc. These channels often are located near channel 00. See your TV owner’s manual for details.
●Set the Stereo Receiver to the correct channel or “source” mode.
●Do not connect the DVD Player’s AUDIO OUT jacks to the PHONO IN jack of your Stereo Receiver.
●You only need one audio connection and one video connection.
