- Method 2 DVD Player + AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control center), Dolby Digital decoder, DTS decoder, MD deck or DAT deck
NOTES (for Method 2 only):
- When using an AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control center), Dolby Digital, or DTS decoder as shown in the Method 2, set “DOLBY DIGITAL” or “DTS” to “BITSTREAM” accordingly for audio output in the setup mode (refer to page 24). Set it to “PCM” or “OFF” for the decoder that is not used currently. Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.
- The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital Multi-channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD deck or DAT deck.
- Set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “PCM” and “DTS” to “OFF” for audio output in the setup mode for connecting to an MD deck or DAT deck (refer to page 24).
- Harsh noise that could harm your ears or the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played while using a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.
- When playing a copyright-protected 96kHz PCM DVD, the digital sound will be down sampled at 48kHz, even if you set “LPCM SELECT” to “OFF” (refer to page 24).
Optical cable (commercially available)
- Optical cable (commercially available) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a diameter of 6 inches (15cm) or more when storing them.
- Use a cable which is 9.8 feet (3m) or shorter.
- Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.
- If a plug has dust or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.

• Method 2 DVD Player + TV with S-Video Input Jack
• Method 3 DVD Player + TV with Component Video Jacks
NOTES:
- Connect the DVD player directly to a TV. If the Audio/Video 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 this unit's S-Video output connector using a commercially available S-Video connection cord.
- Component output connector
Picture could be distorted if you connect DVD player with both Component output connector and HDMI output connector at the same time.
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.
Connection to a TV with an HDMI Compatible Port
A simple 1-cable connection (using a commercially available cable) with a device having an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connector allows digital transfer of the digital images of DVD-Video and other sources.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
