Connection Guide
The illustration on this page shows the basic setup using
the audio and video cords included with this player. Use
this illustration as a guide to setting up your home
system.
An explanation of each type of audio and video
connection available can be found on the following
pages. To determine the best audio and video
connection setup for your system, refer to the manuals
supplied with the components you are making
connections to.
In addition to making physical connections to your TV or
monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size.
You can use the [Setup Navigator] in the Setup screen
General
menu to set whether you are using a wide
screen or standard size TV or monitor (page 20).
Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the
Setup screen
Video

and play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback
picture may not be normal.

Unlike any other audiovisual media format, DVD offers a
wide array of audio and video output options which
allows playback to be enjoyed in any number of system
configurations from a standard TV with stereo audio
