Connections

Before using the unit, connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier.

Before making connections

•Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

•Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc. You may also have a monitor problem when connecting the unit to an integrated TV/Video system.

•In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with “monitor” or “projector.”

•Terminal names used for other components may be different from those used in the following description.

NOTES

•Be sure to connect the red and white plugs of the audio/video cable to the FRONT RIGHT/LEFT jacks on the rear of the unit, as shown in the illustration.

•Set [ANALOG OUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display to [2-CH STEREO] (see page 39).

•If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output to monaural.

•If you use a multi-color system TV, you can play discs recorded on both PAL and NTSC systems by setting the PAL - NTSC - REMOTE selector to either “PAL” or “NTSC” accordingly.

•When the PAL - NTSC - REMOTE selector is set to “NTSC,” the [NTSC] indicator lights up in the display window.

•The “REMOTE” position of the PAL - NTSC - REMOTE selector is used to select PAL or NTSC system with the PAL/NTSC button on the remote control unit (for details, see page 6).

•Change the PAL - NTSC - REMOTE selector position in stop mode or with no disc inserted. The changed setting is not effective if you change the selector position in playback mode.
