• Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the instructions supplied with the
component you are going to connect.
You can enjoy playback by simply connecting the unit to a TV. To improve audio sound quality, connect the AUDIO OUT
jacks to your separate audio equipment. (See the following pages.)
Connect the unit to a TV equipped with stereo audio input and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video cables.
• If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo
audio output to monaural.
• If your TV has an S-video input, you can get better picture quality by connecting it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit
using the S-video cable in addition to the (standard) video connection.
The unit is compatible with the PAL and NTSC systems. Set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on the rear panel to match the
color system of your TV. Make sure that the color system of a DVD VIDEO/Video CD/SVCD disc labelled on the package
matches your TV.
If you use a multi-system TV, you can play discs recorded on both PAL and NTSC systems by setting the VIDEO OUT
SELECT switch appropriately. However, note that you must change the switch position while the unit power is off (on
standby). Otherwise, the changed setting is not effective.
Before making any connections
To connect to a conventional TV
If the TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal,
you can use the AV COMPU LINK function.
See “AV COMPU LINK remote control
system” on page 64 for details.

NOTES
• When connecting to a TV using the VIDEO OUT jack, make sure that the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is not lit. If
it is lit, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed the correct signals. To turn off the PROGRESSIVE indicator, see “How to
make the Progressive scan mode active” on page 17.
• When making the audio connection using the FRONT (LEFT and RIGHT) jacks, set “DOWN MIX” in “PREFERENCE 2” to “Lo/
Ro” and the Speaker setting in “SPK. SETTING” to “2 CH.” (see page 58 and 59).
• Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a VCR may
cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc.
