Before connecting your DVD, please:
Ensure that the power switch of this unit and other 
 
equipment to be connected is set to off before 
commencing connection.
Do not block ventilation holes of any of the 
 
equipment and arrange them so that air can 
circulate freely.
Read through the instructions before connecting 
 
other equipment.
Ensure that you observe the color coding when 
 
connecting audio and video cables.
for the best quality, we recommend using the HDMI 
output. With a single cable connection between 
components, HDMI is able to deliver uncompressed 
high-definition digital video and digital audio 
programming. Please note that the AVR Receiver in 
this system does not process Audio through HDMI. 
Therefore, separate Audio connections must be 
established between DVD and AVR.
Note: If your video display has a DVI input, you may 
use an optional HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter for 
the connection to the display. In all cases, the video 
display must be HDCP-compliant in order to use the 
HDMI output.
If your equipment is not HDMI-ready, we  recommend 
the use of component video for higher quality pictures. 
If you are using a television or video display that is 
compatible with high-resolution 576P video signals, 
make sure to use the input jacks on the video display 
marked “HD Component,” if available. Also, make sure 
to configure the display’s input settings for use with 
“576P” video signals. you will also need to change 
the scan type in the DVD’s Video setup menu from 
“Interlaced” to “Progressive.” see above. 
The Video output (yellow) combines the complete 
video signal (composite) and sends it to the TV (or 
to the AV Receiver) by one line only. Use the Video 
output, when your TV set is equipped with a Video 
input jack only.
The s (separate) video output connector separates 
the color (C) and luminance (y) signals before 
transmitting them to the TV set in order to achieve 
a sharper picture. Use the s-video cable when 
connecting the player to a TV equipped with an 
s-video input for improved  picture clarity. Never 
connect both outputs, Video and s-Video, to your TV, 
only one of them.
Most European TV´s are equipped with sCART 
connectors rather than with a normal video input 
(yellow cinch). In that case the sCART  connection 
should be used, providing the audio signal too. 
separate analog audio connections to TV are needed 
only if your TV is connected to the video or s-video 
output.
you may also use the standard s-video or  composite 
video connection if your TV does not have component 
video inputs. The component and s-video outputs are 
not available  simultaneously.
Modern audio/video receivers are capable of 
 
connection to several video source devices, such 
as the DVD and a VCR, cable  television set-top 
box, HDTV tuner or other device. The receiver 
is equipped with video monitor outputs for 
connection to your television, projector or plasma 
display. As you select any input source device, the 
receiver selects the correct video input and routes 
it to the correct video monitor output to your 
television. It is recommended that you connect 
one of the video outputs from the DVD to the 
corresponding input on your receiver to  simplify 
operation of your home entertainment system.
If connecting your DVD to another receiver capable 
 
of multiroom operation, it is recommended that 
you connect both the component (or HDMI) 
and composite video outputs of the DVD to the 
receiver. This enables the highest-quality picture 
(component video) for viewing in the main 
listening room, while enabling the multiroom 
system, if it is video-capable, to distribute the 
composite video signal to the remote zone. Consult 
the owner’s guide for your receiver to determine 
whether it has video multiroom capability.
Connecting to a TV Only
When using the DVD with a television but no audio 
receiver or processor, connect it as follows. Make 
the Analog Audio Connection A and one of 
the Video Connections (Composite Video B
S-Video C, Component Video D). If your 
television or video display is HDMI-capable, you only 
need to make the HDMI E connection, as it handles 
both audio and video. Remember to plug in the power 
cord.
