On the setting

To obtain sound output from the AV OUT connector, as in the left figure, connect the red and white plugs of the supplied audio/video cable to your TV’s audio inputs.

Pictures cannot be viewed if you are using the player with the battery pack. Use the AC adapter.

• Set the “TV Shape” according to the aspect ratio of your TV.

• Set the “Audio Out Select” to “Analog 2ch”.

INTERLACED outputs/inputs (ColorStream® )

Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component video inputs. Connecting to these inputs allows you to enjoy higher quality picture playback.

Actual labels for component video inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer. (ex. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y, CB, CR)

In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the playback picture may be reduced slightly or the tint may change. In such a case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance.

Notes

Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected TV (or other equipment) as well.

When you connect the player to your TV, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the wall outlet before making any connections.

Connect the player directly to your TV. If you connect the player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination or video selector, the playback picture may be distorted as DVD video discs are copy protected.

If you place the player near a tuner or radio, the radio broadcast sound might be distorted. In this case, place the player away from the tuner and radio.

The output sound of the player has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.
