Connecting the DV-SP305—Continued

Connecting Your TV

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

Using Component Video

You can use the component video output instead of the standard video out jack to connect this player to your TV (or other equipment).

Use a component video cable (not supplied) to con- nect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to a component video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.

Note:

To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV, see “Video Output settings – Component Out” on page 42.

Using SCART

If your TV has a SCART-type AV input, you can use a SCART cable to connect this player to your TV. This type of connection carries both the sound and the picture, so there’s no need to connect up the AUDIO OUTPUT L/R and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the AV CONNECTOR to an AV input on your TV.
