Connection with a TV or Stereo System
Do not insert the power cord plugs of the player and the connected components until all of the components have been connected.
For details on the connection terminals and functions of the TV, refer to its instruction manual.
The video output from the player should be connected directly to the TV. If the video output is connected through a VCR, the picture displayed on the TV may be disturbed due to the copy protect function.
To Connect a TV
Video connection: Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT jack of the player to the video input of the TV using the provided video cable.
S Video connection: If the TV has an S Video input con- nector, connect the S VIDEO OUTPUT connector of the player to it using the provided S Video cable.
¶As S Video separates video signal into the luminance signal (Y) and color signal (C), it can provide sharper pictures than ordinary video connection.
Component video connection: If the TV has component video input jacks, connect the Y, CB and CR COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks of the player to the corresponding jacks on the TV using video cables.
¶As component video separate video signal into the luminance signal (Y) and color difference signals (CB, CR), it can provide sharper image than the S Video connection.

SCART connection (For Europe and U.K.): If the TV or VCR has SCART connectors, connect the TV SCART or VCR SCART connector of this unit to the TV or VCR using SCART cables.
¶The audio and video signals can be output using a single cable. The signal output from the TV SCART connector can be switched between composite video, S Video and RGB. (The VCR SCART connector always outputs composite video signals so its output signals cannot be selected.)
¶When the TV is connected through a VCR using SCART connection, the picture displayed on the TV may be disturbed due to the copy protect function.
¶When using only the TV and VCR which are both connected with the player using the SCART connection, the signal from the VCR cannot be sent to the TV if the player is switched off. (In this case, set the player to the power standby mode.)
Audio connection: Connect the MIX LINE OUTPUT jacks of the player to the audio input jacks of the TV using the provided audio cables.
COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT switch: Use this switch to switch the video display format (between Interlaced and Progressive scanning). Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before changing the position of this switch.
¶When using the Component Video Output, do not set the "SCART OUTPUT SELECT" setting in the "SET UP MENU" to "RGB". (For Europe and U.K.)
To Connect a Stereo System
