The diagram shows standard video connec- tions, but you can alternatively use the S- Video or component video connections if they’re available.

3Connect the AV receiver’s video output to a video input on your TV.

You usually have to connect the same kind of video cable between your DVD player and AV receiver, and between your AV receiver and TV.

My TV doesn’t have any inputs to connect the DVD player. How can I watch DVDs?

Unfortunately, if your TV has no inputs you can’t use this player with it.

My VCR is already connected to my TV, so there aren’t any spare inputs. What should I do?

If all your TV’s inputs are already in use, you can buy a video input selector from an electronics store, which effectively gives you more inputs.

My TV only has one input for the sound. What should I plug it into?

If you don’t mind mono sound, you can buy a stereo RCA-to-mono RCA cable from an electronics store. Connect the stereo end to this player and the mono end to your TV.

If you want stereo sound, connect this player to your amplifier or stereo system using a stereo audio cable.

I connected the DVD player to my AV receiver, and although the sound is fine, there’s no picture. What did I do wrong?

Make sure that the type of video connection from the DVD player to your AV receiver is the same as that from the receiver to your TV. Most AV receivers won’t convert from one kind of connec- tion to another.
