- If output MPEG audio, connect to a MPEG decoder, and set "MPEG" to "BITSTREAM" for audio output in the setup mode. (See page 17)
- Unless connected to a Dolby Digital decoder, DTS decoder, or an MPEG decoder, set "DOLBY DIGITAL" and "MPEG" to "PCM", and "DTS" to "OFF" for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers. (See page 17)
- The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD or DAT deck.
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.

NOTES
• S-Video output connector
The video signals are divided into colour (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.
- 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.
Selecting Progressive Scan (625p<576p> or Interlaced 625i<576i>) Playback
- If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (625p<576p>), connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of this DVD player, and set to the progressive scanning mode by pressing PLAY for more than 5 seconds on the front of the DVD player. "P. SCAN" will appear on display of the DVD player.
- To set to the interlace mode, press PLAY for more than 5 seconds on the front of the DVD player. "P. SCAN" will disappear on display of the DVD player.
- If your TV is not compatible with progressive scanning, keep this DVD player in the interlace mode (Make sure that "P. SCAN" on display of the DVD player lights off).
- Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.
What is Progressive Scanning?
- Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan system provides less flickering and images in higher resolution than that of traditional (625i<576i>) television signals.
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 a commercially available 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.
