4. Connections
When transferring images using a cable there are several types of signal and connectors to choose from.
N.B.
• Turn off the DVD player and TV before making any connections.
• Read your TV or amplifier manual before making any connections.
Warning
:
Do not connect the coaxial output to an amplifier that does not have Dolby digital AC 3 or a DTS-decoder.
This can possibly damage your speakers and the hearing of everyone in the surrounding area.
4.1 Connecting to the TV
The DVD player can be connected to the TV in several ways depending on the connection possibilities
of your TV.
The most common and simplest connection is with a SCART lead
•
SCART (6)
– Both audio and video signals are sent to the TV.
Connect a SCART lead (not included) between the SCART output on the DVD player and the TV’s
SCART input.
o The lead carries both audio and video signals.
o Select the TV’s AV channel.
o Press the V-MODE button on the remote to select the DVD player’s outgoing signal for the best
possible picture for your particular TV.
o For most users this type of installation will suffice.
Other connections
Besides the SCART lead the DVD player can be connected in several other different ways. Below is a short
description of the different signals the DVD player is able to use.
Important!
In the example below, we use a TV for connecting to the DVD player to but it works just as well
to connect the player to a projector, plasma TV or other video display equipment with similar connections.
Refer to your TV’s instruction manual about which signals and connections are possible for you to use. The
text below refers to different categories of picture quality. These references are theoretical and may function
totally differently in reality, since the combination of different products may produce unexpected results.
PAL and NTSC are two different TV systems. NTSC is used mostly in the USA. PAL is normally used in
Western Europe. Image quality can differ depending on whether the DVD is recorded in PAL or NTSC and if
the DVD player is set to PAL or NTSC.
Most TVs and DVDs in the Nordic countries are designed for PAL. This is preferable because this gives
a higher resolution than NTSC.
