Basic Connections

•Please refer to the instruction books of your TV,VCR, Stereo System or other devices as necessary to make the best con- nections.

•Make one of the following connections, depending on the capabilities of your existing equipment.

The following guidelines are options for the best picture and sound quality available on your DVD/VCR.

Picture

1Use SCART RGB Output (DVD/VCR(AV1 TV)) for best pic- ture quality (for DVD features).

2Use S-VIDEO Output for the better picture quality (for DVD features only).

3Use SCART Composite Output for good picture quality (for DVD and VCR features).

4If your TV only has a RF-style (Antenna IN or 75 ohm) input, use the RF OUT for connection and set your TV to channel 22 ~ 69 with the same channel for DVD/VCR is set (for DVD and VCR features).

Sound

1Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect the DVD/VCR DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (either COAXIAL or OPTICAL) to your amplifier or receiver (for DVD features only).

2Use SCART Output (DVD/VCR(AV1 TV)) for better sound quality (for DVD and VCR features).

If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD/VCR ANALOG AUDIO OUT(Left and Right) to your amplifier, receiver, stereo or TV (for DVD features only).

Warning!

–Never make or change connections with the power switched on.

–Connect the DVD/VCR directly to your TV, instead of eg. a VCR, to avoid distortion because DVD video discs are copy protected.

–Do not connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUT of DVD/VCR to PHONO IN of your amplifier or receiver.

–If you use the Euro audio/video cable, it is not necessary to connect the analog audio cable.

Connecting to a TV
