the back of your DVD Player, and to the corresponding Audio Input jacks on your TV
(sometimes labeled AUDIO INPUT L and R).

the back of your DVD Player, and to the Video Input jack on your TV (sometimes labeled
VIDEO INPUT).

S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back of your DVD Player and to the S-VIDEO jack on your TV.

If your TV has component video jacks (Y, Pb, Pr), use video-grade cables (not provided) to connect the
TV to the DVD player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y, Pb, Pr) jacks. It is essential to match the color
coded connectors with a compatible TV.
If you have a Progressive Scan TV, you must use the Component Video connection (Y, Pb, Pr), and
activate Progressive Scan by pressing the PREV/VIDEO button on the front of the DVD player (for
instructions, go to page 41).
3.

have a VCR connected to the TV.

Connect a coaxial cable to the Antenna Output jack on the VCR (OUT TO TV) and to the
Antenna Input jack (IN FROM CABLE/ANTENNA) on the TV.
5.
Insert the AC power cord into an AC outlet.

More Information about Progressive Scan
Some high-end HDTVs and multimedia monitors offer progressive scanning of the video
signal instead of interlace. Proponents of Progressive Scan say it provides a crisper picture
because it eliminates the “flicker” or “jitter” at the edges of the screen.Your DVD player is
equipped to send a progressive scan signal, but you must connect the DVD player via the
COMPONENT jacks (Y, Pb, Pr) to a Progressive Scan TV or monitor, AND you must activate
Progressive Scan by pressing the PREV/VIDEO button on the front of the DVD player (for
instructions, go to page 41).
Note: If your TV doesn’t have Audio and Video Input Jacks and only has an RF jack, you need
to connect an RF modulator (not provided). For information, go to page 49.
