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.

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 14 to 16.
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 18).
Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the
Setup screen Video 1 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 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
playback the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback
picture may not be normal.
