Connecting to a TV

Before connecting

• Refer also to the instruction manual of the TV.

• Connect the plugs securely.

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.

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 component video cable (sold separately), connect the VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT jacks to the corresponding component video input jacks on the TV.

Be sure to set the TV Aspect after connection using the Setup Navigator explained in “Setting Up the Player” starting on page 16 or the function setting menu explained in “Adjusting Audio and Video Settings” starting on page 38.

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 you make the S video connection, leave the yellow plug disconnected.

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