SETUP AND CONNECTIONS 11
Setup and Connections
■ 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.
Notes:
■ 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 input
for improved picture 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
connection should be used, providing the
audio signal too. Separate analog audio con-
nections to TV are needed only if your TV is
connected to the video or S-video output.
■ When the audio signal is to be fed to a stereo
or Pro Logic amplifier/decoder or receiver
rather than to the TV, connect the Audio Out
jacks to any normal audio input on your
amplifier/decoder/receiver. The DVD will
”downmix” Dolby Digital recordings to Pro
Logic, available on these connectors, all ana-
log surround or stereo signals will be fed to
them directly.
You can also select the audio and video sig-
nals of all your video devices with your AV
Receiver/Amplifier. For more information see
”Note” on next page.
