Hookups 9  
Determining the best possible connection...  
The capabilities of your existing equipment, especially your TV, will determine your connection possibilities.  
However, the following guidelines describe which options provide the best picture and sound quality.  
૽૽૽૽  
૽૽૽  
૽૽  
ComponentVideo provides the best picture quality. Details are on page 12.  
S-Video provides excellent picture quality. Details are on page 11.  
CompositeVideo (a yellowVideo jack) provides good picture quality. Details are on page 10.  
YourTV may have only an RF-style jack, usually labeled Antenna In or 75 ohm or  
RF In.You will need an RF modulator in order to view the DVD Player at yourTV.  
See your electronics retailer for details on RF modulator availability and  
operations.  
૽૽  
૽૽૽૽  
૽૽૽  
Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound, but you must have a digital stereo  
receiver. Connect either the DVD Players COAXIAL or OPTICAL digital audio out jack to  
your Stereo for the best sound quality. Details are on page 14.  
If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD Players red and white AUDIO OUT  
jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV. Details are on pages 10-13.  
Before you begin...  
G
Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, or other equipment 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 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 aVCR,  
then connect theVCR 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 correctVideo 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.

(BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, or SATURATION) as

brightens the color on the screen and seems to add white to the  
picture. Choosing a more negative value (-1 to -4) darkens the  
colors 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.You will notice in the menu that  
as you increase the SATURATION, the blue of the menu is a deeper,  
brighter blue. However, to decrease the color in the picture, choose  
a more negative value (-1 to -4).As you adjust this in the menu, you  
will notice that the menu has the least color at -4, and the picture  
seems almost black and white. Choose zero (0) to balance the color.

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.  
ComponentVideoY CB CR Jacks: The Out jacks on the rear of the DVD Player that send high-quality  
video to a TV that has ComponentVideo In jacks.  
Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the

two channels as analog does.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used in movie theaters.  
DVD: DigitalVideo 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 someVideo CDs/SuperVideo 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 picture  
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.  
TV 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.  
VCD: Video Compact Disc.
