Getting started

Connection to a television

This page explains how to connect the unit to a television and set it up so you hear the audio through the television’s speakers.

To get the full benefit from the powerful multi-channel audio found on DVDs, you should connect an amplifier and speakers.

Do not place the unit on amplifiers or equipment that may become hot.

The heat can damage the unit.

Connect your unit directly to your television.

Do not connect the unit through your video cassette recorder when setting up your home entertainment system, because the picture may not be played correctly due to the copy guard.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output (page 9) and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of the same color.

When making this connection, ensure you connect the audio cables to the corresponding audio input terminals on the television.

After making this connection, change the black level for a better picture (page 20, Video—Black Level Control).

S VIDEO OUT terminal

The S video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance

(C)and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)

When making this connection, ensure you connect the audio cables to the corresponding audio input terminals on the television.
