Hookups 7  
Determining the best possible connection...  
Your hookup will be determined primarily by your existing equipment, especially yourTV. However, the follow-  
ing guidelines describe which options have the best picture (video) and sound (audio) quality.  
૽૽૽૽  
If your television has ComponentVideo In jacks (which also could be labelledY Cr Cb,Y Pr Pb,  
orYUV and may be green, blue, and red), use the ComponentVideo jacks (Y Cr Cb) for the  
best picture quality.  
If you use only this video connection, only the DVD features of the DVD/VCR will be available.  
To see DVD features on the TV, set the TV to its ComponentVideo In channel. Details are on  
page 12.  
If yourTV has S-Video In jacks (which also may be labelledY/C or S-VHS), use the S-Video jack  
for excellent picture quality. If you use only this video connection, only the DVD features of the  
DVD/VCR will be available.To see DVD features on theTV, set theTV to its S-Video In channel.  
Details are on page 11.  
If yourTV has a single yellowVideo In jack (which also may be labelled CVBS, Composite, or  
baseband), use the yellowVideo jack for good picture quality.This connection allows you to use  
both the DVD andVCR features.To see DVD orVCR features on theTV, set the TV to itsVideo  
In channel. Details are on page 11.  
If yourTV only has an RF-style jack, usually labelled Antenna In, RF In, or 75 ohm, use the ANT-  
OUT jack of the DVD/VCR to connect to theTV. Set yourTV to channel 3 or 4 - the same  
channel to which the CH3/CH4 switch of the DVD/VCR is set.This connection allows you to  
use both the DVD andVCR features. Details are on page eight.  
૽૽૽  
૽૽  
૽૽  
૽૽૽૽  
૽૽૽  
If you have a Stereo Receiver with DIGITAL AUDIO IN jacks, digital audio connections provide  
the clearest sound. Connect the DVD/VCRs COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to your  
Stereo Receiver for the best sound quality. If you use only this audio connection, only the DVD  
features of the DVD/VCR will be available. Details are on page 13.  
If digital audio connections are not possible, connect the DVD/VCRs red and white AUDIO  
OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo Receiver orTV.This connection allows you to  
use both the DVD andVCR features. Details are on page 11.  
Before you begin...  
G Refer to the manuals of yourTV, Cable Box, Stereo Receiver, or other devices as necessary. Note the style  
of jacks and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio andVideo In  
channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear the DVD/VCR material playing on theTV,  
Stereo, etc.  
G 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.  
Remember...  
G Set theTV to the correctVideo In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN,  
AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or External In, etc.These channels often are located near channel 00. See  
yourTV owners manual for details. If you do not see the DVD orVCR playback on theTV, just keep chang-  
ingTV channels until you see the DVD orVCR picture on theTV.  
G Set the Stereo Receiver to the correct channel or sourcemode.  
G Depending on your connection, you may need to purchase additional cables.  
G To use theVCR features, you must include a connection with the supplied yellow video cable and red/white  
audio cables or with the supplied RF coaxial cable.  
Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 8-13. Follow the specific steps for  
the hookup you choose. After hooking up the DVD/VCR, go to page 15 before turning on the  
DVD/VCR.

Connect the red and white audio cables (supplied) to the red and  
white DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR and to the red  
and white AUDIO IN jacks on theTV, matching the cable colors to  
the jack colors. If the TV has a single AUDIO IN jack, use the white audio  
cable to connect the DVD/VCRs white DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jack to the  
TVs AUDIO IN jack.You will not use the red cable.  
Connect the yellow video cable (supplied) to the DVD/VCRVIDEO  
OUT jack on the DVD/VCR and to theVIDEO IN jack on theTV.  
For better DVD picture quality, connect an S-Video cable (not supplied) to the S-  
VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD/VCR and to the S-VIDEO IN jack on theTV instead.  
However, the S-Video connection only supplies video (picture) for the DVD Player of  
the DVD/VCR.Therefore, in order to use theVCR features or viewTV channels at the  
DVD/VCR, you still need to either connect the RF coaxial cable between the ANT-OUT  
jack of the DVD/VCR and theTV’s Antenna In jack, or connect the yellow video cable  
as described earlier.To connect the supplied RF coaxial cable, see step 2 on page  
eight.

Connect the power cords of theTV and the DVD/VCR to a power  
outlet.Turn on theTV and set it to the correct Audio/Video In chan-  
nel. If you are using the red/white/yellow audio/video cables forVCR or DVD  
playback, choose the Audio/Video In channel at your TV. If you are using the S-  
Video cable for DVD playback, choose the S-Video In channel at your TV. If you  
are using the RF coaxial cable forVCR or DVD playback, choose channel 3 or  
4 at the TV. See your TV owners manual for more details. Or, simply continue  
changing channels at the TV until you seeVCR or DVD playback on the TV
