To use the digital output, connect either of these jacks to an audio input on a device capable of processing a Dolby Digital, DTS bitstream

or PCM audio. ( page 25)

To use the analog sound output, connect these jacks to audio input jacks on your TV using the audio cable,

and set “Speaker Setting” ( page 56) to “2ch”.

Finally connect the supplied power cord to a wall outlet.

This player supports simultaneous output of video on its HDMI and component video ports. However, some discs may restrict output of video on the component video ports when viewing high definition content or up-converted DVD content.

The resolution on the HDMI output will be the same as the resolution output on the component video output. Thus, because the HDMI output can change automatically to match the maximum available resolution of your display, if you connect both the HDMI output and component output, the resolution on the component output will change if the HDMI output Auto-adjusts.

After completing the connection, proceed to page 23 to make the setting.
