Use these jacks if you have a TV with Component Video in jacks. These jacks provide C /P , C /P and Y video. Along
with S-Video, Component Video provides the best picture quality.
5. S-VIDEO OUT Jacks
Use the S-Video cable to connect this jack to the S-Video jack on your A/V-compatible TV or wide screen TV for a higher
quality picture.
6. REMOTE CONTROL IN/OUT Jacks
By connecting this DVD player to another Marantz audio component using a supplied System Control cable, you can
remotely operate the components as a signal system.
7. REMOTE CONTROL EXTERNAL / INTERNAL Switch
Set this switch to “INTERNAL” when using this DVD player independently. If you use this DVD player in a system with a
Marantz receiver equipped with a remote sensor, set the switch to “EXTERNAL”.
NOTES:
• When connecting to component with a remote sensor, be sure to connect the “REMOTE CONTROL IN” jack of this DVD
player to the “REMOTE CONTROL OUT” jack of the component.
• When connecting to component without a remote sensor, be sure to connect the component to the “REMOTE CONTROL
OUT” jack of this DVD player.
Selecting Progressive Scan (525p/480p or Interlaced 525i/480i) Playback
¡If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (525p/480p), connect the TV to the COMPONEN VIDEO OUT jacks of
the DVD player and set “PROGRESSIVE” to “ON” in the display setting. Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode.
Refer to page 23 for instructions on changing the display setting.
¡If your TV is not compatible with progressive scanning, set “PROGRESSIVE” to “OFF”.
¡Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TV or monitors is the BNC type.
What is Progressive Scanning?
¡Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan system provides less flickering and images in higher resolution
than that of traditional (525i/480i) television signals.

CONNECTIONS
The following show examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other com-
ponents.
If using this DVD player to playback a DVD in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround or DTS surround format, the
DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jacks. By hooking the player up to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy more convincing, realistic
ambience with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard which can be heard in
movie theaters. Use an audio coaxial or optical digital cable (not included) for the audio connections.
NOTES:
• Be sure to turn off the power to all components in the system before connecting another component.
• Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the
DVD player.

“ON” accordingly for audio output in the setup
mode (Refer to page 24). Set it to “OFF” for the decoder that is not used currently. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings
may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.
• The audio source on a disc in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD or
DAT deck.
•
Set “DOLBY DIGITAL” or “DTS” to “OFF” for audio output in the setup mode for method 1 only. Playing a DVD using incorrect
settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers. (Refer to page 24.)
Optical cable (not supplied)
• Optical cable (not supplied) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a diame-
ter of 15 cm or more when storing them.
• Use a cable which is 3m or shorter.
• Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.
• If a plug has minor scratches or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.

NOTES:
• Connect the DVD player directly to a TV. If the A/V cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the
copy protection system.
• S-Video output connector
The video signals are divided into color (C) and brightness (Y) signals, achieving a clearer picture.
If the TV is equipped with a S-Video input connector, we recommend connecting it to the this product’s S-Video output con-
nector using a commercially available S-Video connection cord.
HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS
If your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks it is still possible to connect this DVD
player to your TV’s 75-ohm coaxial antenna terminal using an optional Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator, not includ-
ed. Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and
then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked “TO TV”) to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna termi-
nal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details.
If your TV’s 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that
cable from your TV’s antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator
(usually marked “ANT IN”), then connect the RF modulator to your TV’s antenna
terminal as described above.
NOTE:
• The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV’s antenna terminal
through an RF Modulator.
