Some TVs or monitors are equipped with color difference inputs. Connecting to these inputs allows you to enjoy higher quality picture playback.

Actual labels for color difference inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer. (ex. Y, B-Y, R-Y etc.)

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 the optimum performance.

Notes:

Refer to the instruction manual of the connected equipment as well.

When you connect the DVD player to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlet before making any connections.

If you place the DVD player near a tuner or radio, the radio broadcast sound might be distorted. In this case, place the DVD player away from the tuner and radio.

The output sound of the DVD player has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.

Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the DVD player’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.
