Remember...

Connect the DVD Player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the DVD Player to a VCR, then connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may distort the picture and sound or give you a black and white picture. Also, your VCR might have the copy protection system, which could distort the DVD image or prevent playback of some Discs.

If your TV does not have red, white, and yellow Audio and Video In jacks, refer to the owner’s manual for other hookup options. If your TV only has a single Antenna In or RF In jack, you will need an RF modulator. See the owner’s manual for details.
