8Hookups

Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the DVD Player. Use only one of the connections described in the following pages.

Before you begin...

_ Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo or other devices as necessary. Note the style of jacks and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear the DVD Player on the TV, Stereo, etc.

_ Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets only after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to the power outlet.

Determining the best possible connection...

Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially your TV. However, the following guidelines describe which options have the best picture and sound quality.

-k-k-k-kComponent video provides the best picture quality.

-k-k-kS-Video provides excellent picture quality.

-k-k The yellow Video jack provides good picture quality.

_r_r If your TV has a single RF-stylejack, usually labelled Antenna In

or 75 ohm, you will need an RF adapter in order to connect the DVD Player to the TV. Ask your electronics retailer for details. The DVD picture still will exceed the quality of videotapes and other analog recordings. Details are on page nine,

Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect the DVD Player's COAXIAL jack to your Stereo for the best sound.

If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD Player's red and white AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV.

Remember...
_	Connect	the DVD		Player	directly	to the TV. For example,			do not connect the
	Player to a VCR, then connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may
	distort the picture and sound. Also, your VCR might have the copy protec-
	tion system, which could further distort the DVD image.
_	Set the	TV to	the correct		Video	In channel. Such		channels	may be called
	AUX or AUXILIARY			IN, AUDIO/VIDEO			or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or
	External In, etc. These channels often are located near channel 00. See your
	TV owner's manual for details. Or, go to your lowest TV channel (01 or 02)
	and change channels downward until you see the DVD logo or DVD play-
	back on the TV screen. (The DVD Player must be on.)
	If you are using an RF modulator, set the TV to channel 3 or 4.
_,'_	Set the	Stereo	to the correct channel				or "source"	mode.

®Do not connect the DVD Player's AUDIO OUT jacks to the PHONO IN jack of your Stereo.

_	Depending	on your	connection,		you	may need to purchase additional cables.
_	You only	need one audio		connection and one video			connection.
_	If you do	not connect	the	DVD	Player	to a Dolby	Digital-compatible Stereo, set
	DOLBY DIGITAL to OFF on the DVD Player. Details are on pages 74 and 37.
	Playing a Disc when the settings are wrong could distort the sound or damage
	the speakers.
