Connections and Setup

DVD TV + Audio Receiver
1. Connect the left and right audio cables to your audio/video receiver and to the STEREO
AUDIO OUT L (left – white) and R (right – red) jacks on the back of your DVD Player.
2. If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, use one of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks to
connect the receiver to the DVD player. You must also set the Digital Output setting in
the Sound menu (go to page 45).
Note: The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack has two options: OPTICAL and COAXIAL. Some Dolby Digital receivers
have one type of Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, optical and
coaxial connections work equally well — the only difference is the type of cable you connect to the jack.
If you want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXIAL jack. Rarely, but
sometimes, coaxial cables — especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference from
household appliances, nearby power lines, and/or broadcast towers.
If you would rather use the OPTICAL jack, connect an optical digital cable to the DVD
player and to the corresponding digital optical input jack on the receiver.
3. Connect the video cable.
A. Basic video connection – Connect the video cable (yellow) to the TV VIDEO OUT jack
on the back of your DVD Player, and to the Video Input jack on your TV (sometimes
labeled VIDEO IN).
– OR –
B.
S-Video (not provided) – If your TV has an S-Video jack, connect the S-Video cable
to the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back of your DVD Player and to the S-VIDEO jack
on your TV.
Note: If your TV has progressive scan (Y, Pb, Pr) jacks, use video-grade cables (not provided) to connect
the TV to the DVD player (progressive scan Y to Y, Pb to Pb, etc.). It is essential to match the color coded
connectors with a compatible TV.
If your TV has component video (Y, Pb, Pr) jacks, use video-grade cables (not provided) to connect the TV
to the DVD player (Y to Y, Pb to Pb, etc.). It is essential to match the color coded connectors with a
compatible TV.
