CONNECTION OF YOUR DVD PLAYER WITH TV

Be sure to turn off the power of each component before making the connections.

Scart socket:

RGB signal via scart cable gives you the best picture performance. If your DVD player will not be connected to a hi-fi set or A/V amplifier to hear better sound, scart is enough for both audio & video connections.

Video & Audio Output RCA Jacks:

Video (yellow) & audio (Red: right, White: left) output jacks can be used to connect the DVD player to your TV set via cables. To make this connection, your TV set must have Video & audio input connectors. This type of connection is alternative to scart connection. Picture quality is not as good as SCART RGB connection but audio performance is the same.

CONNECTION OF YOUR DVD PLAYER WITH AV AMPLIFIER

Be sure to turn off the power of each component before making the connections.

Analog Audio Output Jacks:

To get better sound quality, the unit can be connected to an amplifier via analog audio left/right outputs.

Digital Audio Output Connectors:

For the best sound, the unit can be from the coaxial digital audio output to an AV amplifier with a built-in Dolby Digital or DTS decoder. By using 6 speakers, user can enjoy the 5.1 channel surrounding sound.

NOTE:

- When this unit is connected to a separate Decoder Box or Amplifier through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector, you may sometimes hear a short noise when selecting the sound system in the DVD Menu. This is not a malfunction.
