Connections

Connecting Your DVD Player

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
input to a home theater system with a TV or monitor and
full surround sound capabilities.
Make audio connections from the AUDIO
OUT jacks on the player to the AUDIO IN
jacks on the TV or monitor using the stereo
audio cord included with the player. Be sure
to match the color of the plugs with the
color of the jacks (red and white).

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 pages 15 to 17. 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 19).
Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the
Setup screen Video menu (page 29).
Notes
• When making connections to this unit or when changing
connections, check that the unit is off by pressing
STANDBY/ON and unplug the power cord from the
power outlet.
• The analog video output on this player uses copy protect
circuitry to prevent the video playback on DVDs from being
copied. If you connect the player to a TV via a VCR, or
record and play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the
playback picture may not be normal.
