Connections
Notes:
Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment as well.
When you connect the DVD/VCR to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the
wall outlet before making any connections.
If you place the DVD/VCR near a tuner or radio, the radio broadcast sound might be distorted. In this case, place the DVD/
VCR away from the tuner and radio.
The output sound of the DVD/VCR 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.
Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the DVD/VCR’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the
speakers may be damaged.
When connecting to a TV using the S-video jack, make sure that the Progressive indicator “ ” on the display
window is not lit. If it is lit, the S-video outputs do not feed the correct signals and you cannot see any picture.
To turn off the Progressive indicator, select Interlaced output

Connecting to an audio system and TV equipped with S-video input/component video inputs

The S-video output and component video output transports the DVD video signal exclusively and will deliver enhanced

DVD video picture performance.

S-video output

An S-Video connection is superior to Video (Yellow) output. Use this method for DVD playback when the connected television has S-
Video input, and does not have component video inputs.

Component video outputs

PROGRESSIVE outputs
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component video inputs that are capable of reproducing a progressively scanned video signal.
Connecting to these inputs allows you to view the highest quality pictures with less flicker.
INTERLACED outputs
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component video inputs. Connecting to these inputs allows you to enjoy the highest quality
DVD picture playback.
Notes:
To switch the scan mode between the interlace and progressive modes, see page

.
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.
