SETUP AND CONNECTIONS  11

Before connecting your DVD 47, 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, if your receiver or processor 
and/or video display are HDMI-capable, we rec-
ommend 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.

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-compli-
ant in order to use the HDMI output.

If your equipment is not HDMI-ready, we recom-
mend 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 avail-
able. 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 47’s Video Setup menu from
“Interlaced” to “Progressive.” See page 19.

The Video output (yellow) combines the com-
plete 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 sepa-
rates 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 inputfor improved pic-
ture clarity. Never connect both outputs, Video
and S-Video, to your TV or AV Receiver, 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 con-
nection should be used, providing the audio sig-
nal 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 com-
posite 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 47 and a VCR, cable televi-
sion set-top box, HDTV tuner or other device.
The receiver is equipped with video monitor
outputs for connection to your television, pro-
jector 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 47 to the corre-

sponding input on your receiver to simplify
operation of your home entertainment system.
Refer to the owner’s guide for your receiver for
more information.

• If your receiver is capable of multiroom opera-

tion, it is recommended that you connect both
the component (or HDMI) and composite
video outputs of the DVD 47 to the receiver.
This enables the highest-quality picture (com-
ponent 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.

When using the DVD 47 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.
