Optical cable (not supplied)

Optical cable (not supplied) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a diameter of 15 cm or more when storing them.
- Use a cable which is 3m or shorter.
- Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.
- If a plug has minor scratches or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.

Connection to a TV (for video)

Method 1 DVD Player + TV with Video Input Jack
Method 2 DVD Player + TV with S-Video Input Jack
Method 3 DVD Player + TV with Component Video Jacks

NOTES

• If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (480p), connect the TV to the Component Video Output jacks of the DVD player. Refer to page 12.
• Connect the DVD player directly to a TV. If the A/V cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy protection system.
• S-Video output connector

The video signals are divided into color (C) and brightness (Y) signals, achieving a clearer picture.

If the TV is equipped with a S-Video input connector, we recommend connecting it to the this product's S-Video output connector using a commercially available S-Video connection cord.

HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS

If your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks it is still possible to connect this DVD player to your TV's 75-ohm coaxial antenna terminal using an optional Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator, not included. Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked "TO TV") to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details. If your TV's 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your TV's antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator (usually marked "ANT IN"), then connect the RF modulator to your TV's antenna terminal as described above.

NOTE

• The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV's antenna terminal through an RF Modulator.
