on your other equipment so you can see and hear the DVD Player on the TV, Stereo, etc.  
Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets only  
after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment  
connected to the power outlet.  
G
Remember...  
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 picture and sound. Also, your  
VCR might have the copy protection system, which could distort the DVD image or prevent playback  
of some Discs.  
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 or External In, etc. These channels are often near channel  
00. See your TV manual for details. Or, change TV channels until you see the DVD screen saver on  
the TV.  
G
G
G
Set the Stereo to the correct channel or sourcemode.  
Do not connect the DVD Players AUDIO OUT jacks to the PHONO IN jack of your Stereo.  
You only need one audio connection and one video connection between the DVD Player and your TV  
and/or Stereo. So, you might not use all the jacks on the DVD Player.  
Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 10-14. Follow the  
steps for the hookup you choose.

brightens the color on the screen and seems to add white to the  
picture. Choosing a more negative value (-1 to -4) darkens the col-  
ors in the picture. Choose zero (0) for the average setting.  
For CONTRAST, choosing a more positive value (+1 to +4) adds  
more contrast or noticeable difference between the black and white  
in your picture. Increasing the CONTRAST sharpens the picture.  
Choose a more negative CONTRAST value (-1 to -4) to blur the  
distinction between black and white in the picture. The picture will  
not seem as sharp.

For SATURATION, choose a more positive value (+1 to +4) to  
increase the color in your picture. To decrease the color in the pic-  
ture, choose a more negative value (-1 to -4). Choose zero (0) to  
balance the color.

36 TV Type  
TV Type  
DVDs are recorded according to a color system, the most common of which are  
NTSC and PAL. NTSC is the most common in the United States. Your TV also  
operates according to a color system.  
This DVD Player is compatible with NTSC and PAL. However, in order for a  
DVD to play on this DVD Player, the color system of the DVD, the TV, and the  
DVD Player should match. If all three are not the same, the DVD may play in  
only black and white, the picture may roll continuously, or the picture may  
appear distorted. This feature allows you to set the DVD Player to match the  
color systems of your DVD and your TV.

No power  
Press the POWER ON/OFF button on the front of the DVD Player.  
Make sure you connected the DVD Players power cord to an AC power outlet.  
Make sure the AC outlet has power by trying another appliance in the same outlet.  
No picture  
Make sure the TV power is on.  
Check the video cables. Make sure the cable(s) are fastened securely to the DVD Player and to the  
TV.  
Set your TV to the correct Video In channel. These channels are usually near channel 00. Or, you  
may have a button on the TV remote control that selects an Auxiliary or A/V IN channel. See your  
TV owners manual for details. Or, just change channels at the TV until you see DVD playback or  
the DVD Players screen saver on the TV.  
You only need one video connection between the DVD Player and the TV. Details are on page 9.  
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 malfunction.  
The picture is distorted, the picture rolls, or the picture is only black and white.  
TVs have a color system standard, usually NTSC in the United States. If the Discs or DVD Players  
color system is different than your TVs color system, the picture may be distorted or colorless.  
Details are on page 36.  
Check the VIDEO OUTPUT setting. Details are on page 34. If you connected the DVD Player to a  
TV using S-Video cable (as described on page 11), set VIDEO OUTPUT to S-VIDEO. If you con-  
nected the DVD Player to a TV using Component video cable (red, green, and blue as described on  
page 12), set VIDEO OUTPUT to YCBCR. If the VIDEO OUTPUT setting is incorrect (for exam-  
ple, you used S-Video cable but VIDEO OUTPUT is set to YCBCR), the picture may be black and  
white until you correct the VIDEO OUTPUT setting.  
If you connected the DVD Player to a TV using the supplied yellow video cable (as described on  
page 10) or with an RF modulator, adjusting VIDEO OUTPUT does not affect the picture.  
The sound is distorted or there is no sound during Disc playback.  
Make sure you did not connect any cables from the DVD Player to a Stereos PHONO INjack.  
Make sure you did not connect a digital jack on the Player (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to an analog  
jack on the Stereo. (Analog audio jacks are usually labeled as such and are usually red and white.)  
No sound  
Check the audio connections. Details are on pages 9-14. Remember, you only need one audio con-  
nection. See page 9 to see what connection best suits your situation.  
Make sure cables are connected firmly to all equipment.  
Select another channel, sound source, or Auxiliary station at your Stereo or TV. See your Stereos  
manual or TVs manual for details. Or, just continue selecting the different sound sources or modes  
on the Stereo or TV until you hear sound from the Disc that is in the DVD Player. Details are on  
pages 9-14.  
Make sure your SPDIF OUT and SPEAKER SETUP settings match the capabilities of your Stereo  
Receiver or TV. Details are on pages 37-38.  
Check the Audio setting of a DVD in the DVD Disc Menu, if available, and adjust as necessary.  
Disc will not play.  
Make sure the Disc label is facing up. If you are playing a two-sided Disc, make sure the side you  
want to play is facing up. Details are on page 15.  
Check the Parental Controls. Details are on pages 27-29.  
Check the Region Code of the DVD. The DVD must be coded for All regions or Region 1 in order  
to play on this DVD Player. Details are on page 7.  
See if the Disc is defective by trying another Disc. Make sure the Disc is not scratched or warped.  
Carefully clean the Disc. Details are on page 6.

44 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 OUT Jacks: Jacks on the rear of the DVD Player that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo  
Receiver, etc.).  
CD: Compact Disc.  
Chapter: A part of a Title.  
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.  
Color system: There are various systems for transmitting television signals, for example PAL, SECAM, and  
NTSC. NTSC is the most common color system in the United States of America.  
Component Video Y CB CR Jacks: The Out jacks on the rear 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 jacks on the Player. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead of just  
two channels as analog does.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used in movie theaters.  
DVD: Digital Video Disc.  
Letterbox: Widescreen format; 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 4:3 letterbox may have no effect. (For example, some DVDs  
are two-sided, with one side playing in widescreen format and the other side playing in a normal format.)  
OPTICAL Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending the audio to the Stereo  
Receiver. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influences and has less noise, reducing adverse  
effects on external equipment. (Keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is not in use.)  
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 to fit on your TV screen. Some movie companies refer to this as reformatting  
the picture to fit your TV screen.”  
PBC: Playback Control. A special feature on some Video CDs/Super Video CDs that enables interactive use.  
PCM: Pulse Code Modulation. A digital audio encoding system.  
RGB: Red-Green-Blue. A top-quality video connection where red, green, and blue components of the pic-  
ture are carried through separate wires. This also is referred to as the component video connection.  
S-Video: Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color.  
Title: A unit of recording on a DVD.  
VCD: Video Compact Disc.  
VIDEO OUT Jack: Jack on the rear of the DVD Player that sends video (picture) to a TV.  
Widescreen: A TV aspect ratio setting (16:9). Displays the video appropriately when you connect the DVD  
Player to a widescreen TV.
