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 projection 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 the following pages. 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 23). Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu (page 34).

Notes

When making connections to this unit or when changing

connections, check that the unit is in standby (off) by pressing STANDBY/ON (POWER), and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

The analog 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 playback the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback picture may not be normal.
