Connections and Setup  
Things to Consider Before Connecting Components  
Important Stand and Base Safety Information  
Choose the location for your TV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base that is of  
adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed  
off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and or damage the TV. Refer to the  
Important Safeguards sheet packed with your TV.  
Protect Components From Power Surges  
Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.  
Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any  
cables.  
Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference  
Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.  
Place any Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the side(s) of the TV’s back panel instead of  
straight down the back after connecting components.  
Try not to coil any twin-lead antenna cables and keep them away from all A/V cables as  
much as possible.  
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet  
packed with your unit for detailed information.  
Protect Components From Overheating  
Never block ventilation slots in any component. Arrange the components so that air  
can circulate freely.  
Do not stack components.  
Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.  
Place an amplifier or other hot component on the top shelf of a stand so heated air  
rising from it will not flow around other components.

)
You can connect other components to your TV/DVD player such as a VCR, video camera, or audio receiver.  
There are several ways to connect your other components to your TV/DVD player depending upon the cables  
you have and the jacks that are on the back of the components. Different jacks and cables provide a different  
level of performance. The jacks on the back of your TV/DVD Player and the cables used to connect them are  
explained below.  
Note: If you do not connect a cable, antenna, or another component to your TV, the TV will automatically  
shut off after 15 minutes to save power.  
VIDEO Jack and Cable  
The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as  
composite video. Composite video is better than the video quality you get  
from an RF coaxial cable (the type used to plug the cable feed into a TV).  
Usually the video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white and red).  
VIDEO  
S-VIDEO Jack and Cable  
The S-VIDEO (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than  
composite video (the VIDEO jack) because the color is kept separate from  
the black and white part of the video signal.  
Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the S-Video cable carries  
only the picture signal, not the sound.  
S-VIDEO  
AUDIO L (left) and R (right) Jacks and Cables  
These jacks are used for audio connections of other components to  
the TV. The audio jacks and cables are often color-coded (red for right  
audio, and white for left audio). You must connect audio cables to the  
AUDIO L and R jacks on the TV/DVD player and the corresponding jacks  
on the component no matter which Video jack [AV1 (SVID), DVD, AV3  
(side front)] you connect.  
Note: If your component has only one audio output for audio (mono),  
connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect  
the right audio part of the cable.

Parental Control and V-Chip  
The PARENTAL GUIDE menu allows you to program your TV/DVD so that children cannot see certain programs  
and channels. The software inside your TV/DVD (V-Chip) allows you to “block” TV programs and movies based  
on violence, sex, or other content you think children should not view. It lets you program your TV so it will not  
display certain programs. You can “unblock” programs by entering a password. Broadcasters are not required to  
provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their  
age-based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of “not rated,” and programs  
that are considered “unrated” because no code has been sent by the broadcaster.  
When the Parental Controls feature is turned ON the software reads a code that most broadcasters send  
with programs. That code tells the software the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content  
themes (Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.). See “Age-Based Ratings” tables on page 12.  
The PARENTAL GUIDE Menus  
The PARENTAL GUIDE options allow you to limit viewing of certain channels, lock the control buttons on the  
main unit, and change your password. You may want to remove the remote control to prevent any changes  
to your parental control settings. To display one of the PARENTAL GUIDE menus, you must first enter your  
password in the PASSWORD menu. With the Parental Guide menu turned OFF, only the basic menu appears.  
With the PARENTAL GUIDE turned ON, the TV and Movie Rating options are included.

This unit’s code is Region 1. Discs with other regional codes can’t be played in this unit.  
Using Different Menus  
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are two separate menu systems that you can use to access  
DVD features: the disc’s menu and the DVD player’s menu (separate from the TV’s menu system). Remember that a  
feature only works if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if you choose subtitles, the subtitles  
only appear if the disc was created with subtitles. The DVD menu system is explained on page 16.  
The Disc menu – The disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD player’s menu system. The  
contents of each disc’s menu vary according to how the disc was created and what features are included.  
Sometimes a disc’s menu appears automatically when you insert the disc, or you can access it by pressing  
the MENU button.

Recommendations and Information Concerning Discs  
CD-R and CD-RW Discs  
This player can play most CD-R and CD-RW discs. However, depending on the recorder of the discs of your  
personal computer, the type of disc and recording method used, some discs might not play, or the performance  
might not meet the expected standard of quality. When playing a CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the  
unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before it plays. If the disc is not recognized after a period  
of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it again. If after several trials, the disc cannot be recognized,  
make sure you have followed the recommendations below or try another type of disc.  
Whatever the actual recording capacity of a disc, do not fill it to maximum capacity.  
Use CD-R discs rather than CD-RW (re-recordable CDs), as replay of CD-RWs may sometimes not work  
properly.  
Use a reliable and good quality recording software.  
Before recording on a disc, close all applications on you personal computer in order to optimize the quality  
and reliability of recordings on the disc.  
CD-R and CD-RW Discs with mp3 Format “Music” Files  
In the case of discs that include mp3 files, follow not only the general recommendations for CD-R and CD-RW  
discs, but also the following specific recommendations:  
The format of your mp3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET. These files are compatible with DOS and  
Windows applications as well as with Mac applications.  
Your mp3 files must have a name no longer than 12 characters as well as the suffix .mp3. They must be  
recorded in the form: title.mp3. Ensure that you do not leave spaces or use special characters such as ( . , / ,  
\ , = ,+) in the name.  
Do not attempt to record protected mp3 files. Such files are coded and protected.  
Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 kb/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording mp3 files.  
Sound quality with mp3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/ decompression you choose.  
Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to mp3 format,  
of at least 128 kb/sec and up to 160 kb/sec.  
However, choosing higher rates, like 192 kb/sec or more, only rarely give even better sound quality.  
Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128 kb/sec will not be played properly.  
Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play mp3  
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods for  
mp3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (that is degraded  
sound quality and even, in some cases, inability of the player to read the file or files).

Additional Information  
Maintenance of Cabinet  
For safety reasons, when cleaning the cabinet be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.  
Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.  
Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.  
Formation of Condensation  
Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes in contact  
with any cold parts inside the player.  
When condensation forms inside the player, the player may not operate correctly. If this occurs, leave the  
player at room temperature until the inside of the player becomes dry and operational.  
If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center  
hole toward the outer edge.  
Handling Discs  
Don’t touch the disc’s data surfaces. Hold by the edges or by one edge and the hole in the center.  
Don’t affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Don’t scratch or damage the label.  
Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.  
Cleaning Discs  
Dirty discs can cause reduced video and audio performance. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently  
with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.  
If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well. Wipe the dirt away gently, and remove  
any water drops with a dry cloth.  
Do not use record-cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean the discs with benzene,  
thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.  
Handling Cautions  
Before connecting other components to this player, be sure to turn all components off.  
Don’t move the player while a disc is being played. The disc may get scratched or broken, and the player’s  
internal parts may be damaged.  
Don’t put any container filled with liquid or any small metal objects on the player.  
Be careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.  
Don’t place anything other than a disc in the disc tray.  
Exterior influences such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal operation of this player. If this  
occurs, turn the player off and on again with the POWER button, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC  
power cord to the AC power outlet. The player will operate normally.  
Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.
