Setup and Connections

Before connecting your DVD 28, please:

■Ensure that the power switch of this unit and other equipment to be connected is set to off before commencing connection.

■Do not block 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 connecting audio and video cables.

For the best quality, if your receiver or processor and/or video display are HDMI-capable, we rec- ommend 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.

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-compli- ant in order to use the HDMI output.

If your equipment is not HDMI-ready, we recommend the use of component video for higher quality pictures.

If you are using a television or video display that is compatible with high-resolution 576P 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 “576P” video signals. You will also need to change the scan type in the DVD 28’s Video Setup menu from “Interlaced” to “Progressive.” See above.

The Video output (yellow) combines the com- plete video signal (composite) and sends it to the TV (or to the AV Receiver) by one line only. Use the Video output, when your TV set is equipped with a Video input jack only.

The S (separate) video output connector sepa-

rates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals before transmitting them to the TV set in order to achieve a sharper picture. Use the S-video cable when connecting the player to a TV equipped with an S-video inputfor improved picture clarity. Never connect both outputs, Video and S-Video, to your TV or AV Receiver, only one of them.

Most European TV´s are equipped with SCART connectors rather than with a normal video input (yellow cinch). In that case the SCART connection should be used, providing the audio signal too. Separate analog audio connections to TV are needed only if your TV is connected to the video or S-video output.

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.

•Modern audio/video receivers are capable of connection to several video source devices, such as the DVD 28 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 televi- sion, 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 televi-

sion. It is recommended that you connect one of the video outputs from the DVD 28 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 opera- tion, it is recommended that you connect both the component (or HDMI) and composite video outputs of the DVD 28 to the receiver. This enables the highest-quality picture (com- ponent video) for viewing in the main listening room, while enabling the multiroom system, if it is video-capable, to distribute the composite 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 28 with a television but no audio receiver or processor, connect it as follows. Make the Analog Audio Connection A and one of the Video Connections (Composite Video B, S-Video C, Component Video D). If your television or video display is HDMI- capable, you only need to make the HDMI E connection, as it handles both audio and video. Remember to plug in the power cord.
