The Video CD Player must be connected directly to a television set or
an amplifier that is connected to a television or monitor. The television
set or the amplifier must have audio input jacks for right and left
channels and a video input jack.
Select a level, dry location free of dust and vibration, and having a
temperature maintained between 5 and 35°C (41 and 95°F).

Connecting player to a TV or amplifier

using the Audio Video cord

First connect the Audio Video cord — before connecting the AC power
cord.
Firmly insert the yellow pin plug of the Audio Video cord in the yellow
VIDEO OUT jack on the rear panel of the player; the red pin plug in the
red AUDIO OUT (RIGHT) jack; and the white pin plug in the white
AUDIO OUT (LEFT) jack. (The RIGHT and LEFT output jacks are for
the right and left audio channels.)
Then make sure that the television, amplifier or receiver is turned off,
disconnect the AC power cord and firmly insert the pin plugs at the
other end of the Audio Video cord into the matching video and audio
INPUT jacks.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Basic Connections

Notes
• When you play a NTSC disc in PAL AUTO mode on a PAL exclusive
TV, the image may get distorted.
(If the signal doesn’t synchronize.)
In this case, reselect the mode to “PAL”.
• Select the mode before you play the disc. If you change the mode
during play, images may get distorted. In this situation stop the
player and reset the mode.
• When you play a NTSC disc in PAL AUTO mode on a Multi system
TV, the image may blink for a moment. This symptom is caused by
the Player detecting the format of the disc and not caused by a
malfunction of the Player.

Connecting the power cord

IMPORTANT
Check the setting of the LINE VOLTS switch on the rear panel of the
player. Change the setting if the switch is not set for the main voltage
supplied to your home.
With the LINE VOLTAGE switch correctly set and the audio-video
connectors connected, insert the smaller plug of the power cord
firmly into the AC POWER CORD socket on the rear panel of the
player.
When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY indicator on the
left-hand side of the player’s front panel comes on. [See “Overview
of controls” for a description of the controls on the player.]
