SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
• Ensure that the power switch of this unit (and of
other equipment to be connected) is set to “Off”
before commencing connection.
• Do not block the 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 con-
necting audio and video cables.
NOTES:
• The video output (yellow) combines the complete
video signal (composite) and sends it to the TV
(or to the A / V receiver) by one cable only. Use the
video output when your TV set is equipped with
a video input jack only.
• The S-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 pic-
ture clarity. Never connect both outputs, video and
S-video, to your TV or A/V receiver; use only one of
them.
• When the audio signal is to be fed to an analog
receiver rather than to the TV, connect the audio out
jacks to any analog audio input on your amplifier/
decoder/receiver. The DVD 31 will “downmix”
Dolby Digital recordings to Pro Logic.* For more
information see the IMPORTANT NOTE on next
page.

NOTE: While we suggest the use of S-video
for higher quality pictures, you may use the
standard composite video connection if your
TV does not have an S-video input. Only one
video connection is needed, not both.
