Preparation

Basic Connections

Please refer to the instruction books of your TV, VCR, Stereo System or other devices as necessary to make the best connections.

Make one of the following connections, depending on the capabilities of your existing equipment.

The following guidelines are options for the best picture and sound quality available on your DVD player.

Picture

1Use the CVBS Video Ouput for good picture quality.

2Use S-Video Output for the better picture quality.

3Use SCART Output for best picture quality.

Sound

1Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect one of the DVD player’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) to your amplifier or receiver.

2If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD player’s Left and Right (white and red) AUDIO OUT to your amplifier, receiver, stereo or TV.

Warning!

Never make or change connections with the power switched on.

Connect the DVD player directly to your TV, instead of eg. a VCR, to avoid distortion because DVD video discs are copy protected.

Do not connect the DVD player AUDIO OUT to PHONO IN of your amplifier or receiver.

1Connect the SCART (TV OUT) on the DVD player to the corresponding connector on the TV IN.
