Getting started

• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.
• Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the instructions supplied with the components you are going

to connect.

Connecting a TV

To view pictures and on-screen displays, connect the TV to the center unit.
• You can get better picture quality in the order — Component video > S-video > Composite video.
• Distortion of picture may occur when connecting to the TV via a VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR.
• You need to set “MONITOR TYPE” in the PICTURE menu correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. (

A pg. 47)

% To connect a TV through the component video input jacks

If your TV has component video input jacks, connect them using a component video cord (not supplied) to view a high quality picture.
• Connect “Y” to “Y”, “P

B

” to “P

B

”, “P

R

” to “P

R

” correctly.

• If your TV supports progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by setting the progressive scan mode to active. (

A pg. 20)

NOTE
• If the component video input jacks of your TV are of the BNC type, use a plug adapter (not supplied) to convert the pin plugs to BNC plugs.
• The component video signals can be output only when you select “DVD” as the source to play. (

A pg. 18)

% To connect a TV through the composite or S-video jacks

Connect the TV using the composite video cord (supplied) or an S-video cord (not supplied).
If your TV has an S-video (Y/C-separation) jack, you can get better picture quality than by using composite video connection.
• Connect the S-video cord by matching the

/ mark on the plug to the one on the rear of the center unit.

% Selecting the color system

The center unit is compatible with the PAL and NTSC systems. Set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on the rear panel in standby mode to
match the color system of your TV. Make sure that the color system of a DVD, Video CD, or SVCD disc labeled on the package matches your
TV.
• If you use a multi-system TV, by setting “MONITOR TYPE” in the PICTURE menu to an appropriate “MULTI” option, the system outputs

a video signal by the same format recorded on the disc (i.e. if you play an NTSC disc, the system outputs a signal by the NTSC format)
regardless of the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch setting. (
