Making Connections
Connecting Your DVD Player
Unlike any other audiovisual media format, DVD offers a wide array of audio and video output options which allows playback to be enjoyed in any number of system configurations from a standard TV with stereo audio input to a home theater system with a TV or monitor and full surround sound capabilities.
Connection Guide
The illustration on this page shows the basic setup using the audio and video cords included with this player. Use this illustration as a guide to setting up your home system.
An explanation of each type of audio and video connection available can be found on pages 16 to 18. To determine the best audio and video connection setup for your system, refer to the manuals supplied with the components you are making connections to.
In addition to making physical connections to your TV or monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size. You can use the [Setup Navigator] in the Setup screen General menu to set whether you are using a wide screen or standard size TV or monitor (page 20). Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu (page 36).
Notes
•When making connections to this unit or when changing
connections, check that the unit is off by pressing
STANDBY/ON (or POWER) and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
•The video output on this player uses copy protect circuitry to prevent the video playback on DVDs from being copied. If you connect the player to a TV via a VCR, or record and play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback picture may not be normal.
