Notes:

This player is equipped with copy protection technol- ogy. Do not connect this player to your TV via a VCR using AV cables, as the picture from this player will not appear properly on your TV. (This player may also not be compatible with some combination TV/VCRs for the same reason; refer to the manufacturer for more information.)

When connecting to your TV as shown above, do not set the “Component Out” setting (page 42) to “Pro- gressive”.

1.Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT and ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT L/R jacks to a set of A/V inputs on your TV.

Use the supplied AV cable (RCA), connecting the red and white plugs to the audio outputs and the yel- low plug to the video output. Make sure you match up the left and right audio outputs with their corre- sponding inputs for correct stereo sound.

See page 19 if you want to use a component or SCART cable for the video connection.

2.Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC INLET, then plug into a power outlet.

Before unplugging the player from the power outlet, make sure you first switch it into standby using either the front panel STANDBY/ON button, or the remote controller, and wait of the “OFF” message to disap- pear from the player’s display.

For the above reasons, do not plug this player into a switched power supply found on some amplifiers and AV receivers.
