Connecting to Other Devices

Before using your home theater system for the first time, you will need to connect it to a display. 
In addition, you may want to connect the player to a separate audio system.

Connecting to a Display Using Composite Video

Composite video, though the lowest quality of the three 
video outputs on the player, is the most common format 
and so can be found on just about any display.

To connect to a display using composite video:

1. Using the included audio/video cable (see the 

accessories on page 2), connect one yellow RCA 
connector to the composite video input on the 
display, and attach the other yellow RCA connector 
to the yellow video jack on the rear of the player.

2. (OPTIONAL) To connect the audio output to the 

display as well, use the red (right) and white (left) 
RCA connectors on the included audio/video cable to 
connect the AUDIO jacks on the rear of the player to 
the display’s audio input.

3. Select 

YUV

 as the Video Output setting under the 

Video setup menu on the player (see “Configuring 
the Player” on page 23).

4. Select the appropriate TV Shape and TV System 

settings under the Video setup menu.
