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

Audio/Video connection: Connect the MIX LINE OUTPUT
jacks of the player to the audio input jacks of the TV
using the provided audio/video cables. Connect the
VIDEO OUTPUT jack of the player to the video in-
put of the TV using the provided audio/video cables.
S Video connection: If the TV has an S Video input con-
nector, connect the S-VIDEO connector of the player
to it using the 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, C
B
and C
R
COMPO-
NENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks of the player to the corre-
sponding jacks on the TV using component 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.
Depending on the TV or video monitor in use, the
terminal names may be different from those used
with the player (Y/Pb/Pr or Y/B-Y/R-Y, etc.)
When the TV in use is a HDTV or "Hi-Vision" TV,
connect the component video signals from the player
only to the DVD-compatible input jacks.
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 posi-
tion of this switch.

To Connect a Stereo System

Audio connection: Connect the MIX LINE OUTPUT jack
of the player to the audio input jacks of the connected
audio component such as a stereo system using the
audio cables.
When playing a disc containing MPEG multi-
channel audio recording, connect the stereo input
to the 6CH. OUTPUT L/R jacks and activate the
DOWN MIX function. fl
