Chapter 1 Connections and Setup
Things to consider before you connect
Protect components from overheating
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components.Arrange the components so that air
can circulate freely.
• Don’t stack components.
• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf.
Position cables properly to avoid audio interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV
instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables.Also, keep the twin lead
cables away from audio/video cables.
Note: Some discs may not be compatible due to laser pickup and disc design.
Install Batteries in the Remote
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries (provided), by matching the diagram in the battery compartment to make
sure + and – are in the proper position.
3. Put the battery cover back in place.
Important Battery Information
• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries
because they can leak and cause damage.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.
•Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all
batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to
charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.

Explanation of Jacks and Cables
There are several ways to connect your DVD Player to your TV depending upon the cables you
have and the jacks that are on the back of your TV. Different jacks and cables provide a different
level of performance.The jacks on the back of your DVD Player and the cables used to connect
them are explained below.

VIDEO OUT Jack and Cable
The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as
composite video. Composite video is better than the video quality you get from
an RF coaxial cable (the type used to plug the cable feed into a TV). Usually the
video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white and red).
Video Selection switch
If you connect the DVD Player to a TV that is capable of progressive scanning
the signal, you need to use the Y, Pb, Pr jacks and video cables. It is essential
you turn the VIDEO SELECTION switch to the PROG. SCAN ONLY position.
If you use S-VIDEO OUT or VIDEO OUT jacks for your connection, leave
the switch in REGULAR CONNECTIONS position.
S-VIDEO OUT Jack and Cable
The S-VIDEO OUT (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than
composite video (the VIDEO OUT jack) because the color is kept separate
from the black and white part of the video signal. If your TV has an S-Video
jack, connect the DVD Player to the TV with an S-Video cable.
Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the S-Video cable carries only
the picture signal, not the sound.
Video Jacks and Cables
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT REGULAR AND PROG. SCAN (Y, Pb, Pr) Jacks
and Component Video Cables
The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide optimum picture quality because the video signal is
separated into three parts.
To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables (yellow) for
the connection.You can also buy bundled component video cables that are
color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr jacks (red, green, and blue).
Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the component cable carries
only the picture signal, not the sound.

Audio Jacks and Cables
AUDIO L (left) and R (right)
These jacks send the audio from the disc you’re playing to the TV.The audio
jacks and cables are often color-coded (red for right audio, and white for left
audio).You must connect audio cables to the AUDIO L and R jacks on the
DVD Player and the corresponding Audio Input Jacks on the TV no matter
which Video jack you connect (VIDEO; S-VIDEO;Y, Pb, Pr).
Notes:
If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white
L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect the right audio part of the cable.
COAXIAL AUDIO OUT Jack
If you’re connecting this DVD player to an audio video receiver that has a
COAXIAL DIGITAL INPUT jack, use a Digital Coaxial cable to connect it to
the DVD player’s COAXIAL OUT jack.

provided) to the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back of your DVD Player and to the
S-VIDEO jack on your TV.
– OR –
2c. If your TV has component video jacks (Y, Pb, Pr) jacks, use video-grade cables (not
provided) to connect the TV to the DVD player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
(REGULAR AND PROG. SCAN)— Y to Y, Pb to Pb, R to R). It is essential to match the
color coded connectors with a compatible TV.
Note: If your TV or monitor has progressive scanning capability, you need, to make sure you choose correct
setting on the back of the DVD Player (step 6 below).
3. Connect the antenna or cable to the Antenna Input jack on the VCR (sometimes labeled IN
FROM ANTENNA).
4. Connect a coaxial cable to the Antenna Output jack on the VCR (OUT TO TV) and to the
Antenna Input jack (CABLE/ANTENNA) on the TV.
5. Insert the AC power cord into an AC outlet.
6. If your TV is capable of using progressive scanning and you connected the DVD Player to the
TV by connecting the Component Video Jacks (Y, Pb, Pr), make sure you change the Video
Selection switch setting to PROGRESSIVE SCAN ONLY position on the back of the player. All
other connections should leave the Video Selection switch set to NORMAL connections
(VIDEO, S-VIDEO, COMPONENT)

2. The first time you turn on your DVD player, a
Language Selection menu appears. If you want the
DVD player’s menus to appear in English, press the
OK button on the remote control. If you prefer
another language, press the button until that
language is highlighted and press OK to select the it.
Using Different Menus
Each disc is programmed with different features.There
are three separate types of menus that you can use to
access features:
• The Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each
disc and is separate from the DVD player’s menu.The
contents of each Disc menu varies according to how
the disc was authored and what features are
included.The Disc menu is turned on and off (while
the disc is playing) with the MENU button on the
remote.
• The DVD player’s Info Display – The Info Display
appears as icons across the top of the screen. It can
only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s
turned on and off with the INFO button on the
remote.
• The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu
system is accessed only when a disc isn’t playing. It
appears automatically when you press the STOP
button on the remote.
Remember: A feature will only work if the disc was
programmed with that feature. For example, if you choose
subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if
the disc was created with subtitles. If a menu or icon is
“grayed out” it means that item (or feature) isn’t available.

Point the Remote at the DVD Player and Put it in DVD Mode
When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the DVD Player, not
the TV. Make sure the remote is in DVD mode - press the DVD button.Also, you must make sure
there is a clear path between the remote control and the DVD Player because the remote
control uses infrared (IR) technology that sends a command from the remote control to the IR
sensor on the front of the DVD player.
Turn on the TV and DVD Player
1. Turn on your TV and tune it to the correct Video Input Channel (if you don’t know which
channel is the Video Input channel, go to page 11 for help).

How to find your TV’s Video Input Channel
In order to see what’s playing on your DVD Player, you need to tune the TV to the Video Input
Channel that corresponds to the jacks you used to connect the DVD Player to the TV.The Video
Input Channel(s) varies for different brands and different models of TVs. If your TV is an RCA, GE,
or Proscan brand, the DVD’s remote probably operates it. Just press the TV button, and then
press the INPUT button until you see the DVD’s main menu, screen saver, or the disc you’re
playing. If your TV is another brand, check the list below:
Consult the instruction manual that came with your TV.
If you can’t find the information in the manual, or can’t find the manual, review the following list.
• There might be a button on the TV’s remote control that accesses the Video Input Channel
(see table below for examples).
•You might select the Video Input Channel from the TV’s on-screen menu system.
•You might tune to it by pressing a specific channel number (see table below).
•Press the Channel up and/or down buttons on the TV’s remote control (sometimes the Video
Input Channel is stored in your TV’s channel list).
