Connecting to a TV

Before connecting

•Refer also to the instruction manual of the TV.

•When you connect the DVD Player to the TV, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the mains before making any connections.

•Connect the DVD Player to the TV directly. If you connect the DVD Player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination, or video selector, the playback picture may be distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.

•When this DVD player is connected to a TV compatible with progressive signal using the VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT jacks, setting the video output to “Progressive” (see page 43) will produce a higher quality picture.

• Connect the plugs securely.

Making component video connections

If the TV or monitor has component video inputs, making this type of video connection will produce the ideal picture quality for the presentation of DVD-Video. Using a componect video cable (sold separately), connect the VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT jacks to the corresponding component video input jacks on the TV.

Actual labels for component video inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer. (e.g. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y, CB, CR)

In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the playback picture may be reduced slightly or the tint may change. In such a case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance.

Connecting to a TV Using the Audio/Video Connection Cable

If the TV or monitor has an S video input, make the S video connection. The S video connection will provide higher quality picture playback.

Notes

•If the TV audio is monaural, leave the red plug disconnected.

•If you make both the S video and the yellow plug connections, S video has priority.
