Hookups 9  
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to con-  
nect, there are various ways you could connect the DVD Player.  
Use only one of the connections described in the following pages.  
Before you begin...  
G Refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo System or other  
devices as necessary. Note the style of jacks and connectors on  
the other equipment. Determine how to choose different  
Audio and Video In channels on your other equipment so you  
can see and hear the DVD Player on the TV, Stereo, etc.  
G Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect  
the equipment to the power outlets only after you have fin-  
ished hooking up everything. Never make or change con-  
nections with equipment connected to the power outlet.  
Determ ining the best possible connection...  
Your hookup will be determined primarily by feature availability  
of your existing equipment. However, the following guidelines  
describe which options have the best picture and sound quality.  
૽૽૽૽ Use Component Video jacks for the best picture  
quality.  
૽૽૽ Use the S-Video jack for excellent picture quality.  
૽૽  
૽૽  
Use the yellow Video jack for good picture quality.  
If your TV only has an RF-style jack, usually  
labelled Antenna In or 75 ohm , you will need  
an adapter in order to connect the DVD  
Player to the TV. Ask your electronics retailer for  
details. The DVD picture still will exceed the quality  
of videotapes and other analog recordings.  
૽૽૽૽ Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound.  
Connect one of the DVD Players DIGITAL AUDIO  
OUT jacks (COAXIAL or OPT(ical) OUT) to your  
Stereo Receiver for the best sound quality.  
૽૽૽ If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD  
Players red and white AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio  
In jacks of your Stereo Receiver or TV.  
Rem em ber...  
G Connect the DVD Player directly to the TV. For example, do  
not connect the DVD Player to a VCR, then connect the  
VCR to a TV. This type of connection may distort the pic-  
ture and sound. Also, your VCR might have the copy protec-  
tion system, which could further distort the DVD image.  
G Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels  
may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN, AUDIO/VIDEO or  
A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2, etc. These channels often are locat-  
ed near channel 00. See your TV owners manual for details.  
G Set the Stereo Receiver to the correct channel or source”  
mode.  
G Do not connect the DVD Players AUDIO OUT jack to the  
PHONO IN jack of your Stereo Receiver.  
G You only need one audio connection and one video connection.  
Once you determ ine the best option, find your choice on  
pages 10-14. Follow the specific steps for the hookup you  
chose.

40 MP3 Playback  
MP3 is a compression technology. MP3 compresses large digital music files, making  
them up to 10 times smaller without losing significant sound quality. MP3 has become a  
standard audio compression format on the world wide web, allowing quick and easy  
transfer of audio or music files on the Internet. As a file storage solution, it allows you  
to store tracks on your computer's hard disk without using too much space. You can  
then transfer your Tracks from your computer onto a CD Recordable or CD  
Rewritable disc, then play that Disc on this DVD Player.  
Tracks that are compressed or recorded with MP3 technology will have a computer  
file name that ends in .mp3.  
You may either purchase MP3 recordings (digital) or record your own MP3 music  
(analog) using your personal computer. (You will need MP3 recording software.  
Materials and equipment with which to make MP3 recordings are not supplied with

Distorted picture  
Check the Disc for fingerprints. Clean the Disc with a soft cloth, wiping from the  
center to the edge in a straight line.  
Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This is not a mal-  
function.  
The picture is distorted or the picture is only black and white during  
DVD or Video CD playback.  
TVs are produced to meet NTSC or PAL color system standards. If the Discs or  
DVD Players color system is different than your TVs color system, the picture  
will be distorted or colorless.  
However, you can change the color system of the DVD Player by adjusting the  
TV System setting. In the United States, NTSC is the most common TV color  
system. Choose NTSC, PAL, or Auto, depending on your TV. Details are on  
pages 7 and 15.

52 Glossary  
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into numbers. Analog sound varies, while  
digital sound has specific numerical values. Analog sound is available when you use  
the red and white audio jacks on your equipment. These jacks send audio through  
two channels, the left and right.  
AUDIO O UT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD Player that send audio to  
another system (TV, Stereo Receiver, etc.).  
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in  
kilobits per seconds, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the  
higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording speed, the better the sound quality.  
However, higher bit rates use more space on a disc.  
For example, an MP3 music file recorded at 32 kbps will record slowly, use the  
least Disc space, and have the poorest sound quality. But, an MP3 music file record-  
ed at 96 kbps will record quicker, use more Disc space, and have significantly better  
sound quality.  
CD: Compact Disc (audio).  
Coaxial jack: Sends digital audio to a Stereo Receiver, allowing you to adjust the  
volume at the Receiver. The Receiver must have a coaxial in jack. This connection  
provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters.  
Com ponent Video O ut Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD Player that send  
high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks.  
Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is  
available when you use the Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio jacks on your equip-  
ment. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two chan-  
nels as analog does.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used  
in movie theaters.  
DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different  
from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies.  
DVD: Digital Video Disc.  
Letterbox: A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video in full-width, with  
black bars at the top and bottom of the TV screen. This format is similar to seeing  
a movie in a theater. If the Disc does not include a letterbox format , selecting  
Letterbox may have no effect. (For example, some DVD discs are two-sided, with  
one side playing in Letterbox and the other side playing in a normal format.)  
O ptical Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending the  
audio to the Stereo Receiver. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influ-  
ences and has less noise, which reduces adverse effects on external equipment. Be  
sure to keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is not in use. This keeps  
dust out of the jack.  
Pan & Scan: A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video with full-height  
picture, with one or both sides of the picture trimmed. Some movie companies  
refer to this as reformatting the picture to fit your TV screen.”  
Rem ote Control: The unit that came with your DVD Player and allows you to  
operate your DVD Player from a distance.  
S-Video: Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the luminance  
and the color. If you connect an optional S-Video cable, you will not need to use  
the supplied yellow video cable. You can use S-Video only if your TV has an S-  
Video In jack.  
VIDEO O UT Jack: Jack on the back of the DVD Player that sends video to a TV.  
W idescreen: A TV aspect ratio setting (16:9). Displays the video appropriately  
when you connect the DVD Player to a widescreen TV.
