SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

•Ensure that the power switch of this unit (and of other equipment to be connected) is set to “Off” before commencing connection. We also strongly recommend that you leave all system components unplugged from AC power until after you have com- pleted the interconnections described in this section.

•Do not block the ventilation holes of any of the equipment and arrange them so that air can circulate freely.

•Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment.

•Ensure that you observe the color-coding when con- necting audio and video cables.

VIDEO NOTES:

•For the best quality, if your receiver or processor and/or video display are HDMI-capable, we recom- mend using the HDMI output. With a single cable connection between components, HDMI is able to deliver uncompressed high-definition digital video and digital audio programming. Even without audio processing capability, your HDMI-ready receiver will be able to pass the uncompressed digital video signal to your video display.

NOTE: If your video display has a DVI input, you may use an optional HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter for the connection to the display. In all cases, the video display must be HDCP-compliant in order to use the HDMI output.

•If your equipment is not HDMI-ready, we recom- mend the use of component video for higher quality

pictures. You may also use the standard S-video or composite video connection if your TV does not have component video inputs. The component and S-video outputs are not available simultaneously.

•The composite video output (yellow) sends the com- plete video signal to the TV (or to the A/V receiver) by one cable only. Use this video output when your TV set is equipped with a video input jack only.

•The S (separate) video output connector separates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals before trans- mitting them to the TV set in order to achieve a sharper picture. Use the S-video cable when con- necting the player to a TV equipped with an S-video input for improved picture clarity.

•The component video outputs further separate the color components of the video signal, optimizing the DVD 47’s video performance. Component video connections are preferred, when available on your TV or receiver. If you are using a television or video display that is compatible with high-resolution 480P video signals, make sure to use the input jacks on the video display marked “HD Component,” if avail- able. Also, make sure to configure the display’s input settings for use with “480P” video signals. You will also need to change the scan type in the DVD 47’s Video Setup menu from “Interlaced” to “Progressive.” See page 23.

•Modern audio/video receivers are capable of con- nection to several video source devices, such as the DVD 47 and a VCR, cable television set-top box, HDTV tuner or other device. The receiver is equipped with video monitor outputs for connection

to your television, projector or plasma display. As you select any input source device, the receiver selects the correct video input and routes it to the correct video monitor output to your television. It is recommended that you connect one of the video outputs from the DVD 47 to the corresponding input on your receiver to simplify operation of your home entertainment system. Refer to the owner’s guide for your receiver for more information.

•If your receiver is capable of multiroom operation, it is recommended that you connect both the compo- nent (or HDMI) and composite video outputs of the DVD 47 to the receiver. This enables the highest- quality picture (component video) for viewing in the main listening room, while enabling the multiroom system, if it is video-capable, to distribute the com- posite video signal to the remote zone. Consult the owner’s guide for your receiver to determine whether it has video multiroom capability.

Connecting to a TV Only

When using the DVD 47 with a television but no audio receiver or processor, connect it as follows. Make the Analog Audio Connection å and one of the Video Connections (Composite Video ∫, S-Video ç, Component Video ∂). If your television or video display is HDMI-capable, you only need to make the HDMI é connection, as it handles both audio and video. Remember to plug in the power cord.
