DVD Player Features & Supported Discs Welcome to the Digital Video Revolution! Your new DVD Player opens the door to a much richer home entertainment experience than you’ve ever seen before. Enhanced Video and Sound quality, as well as greater flexibility and options are just some of the benefits of Digital Video over conventional formats such as VHS. And your DVD Player also doubles as a superior Music machine, playing CD Audio or “Compact” Discs, as well as discs containing MP3 Music Files.
Caring for Optical Discs Handling of Discs: Please hold the disc by gripping the rim or by placing the index finger in the central hole. Never touch the signal surface, which is shiny. This applies to both sides of double sided discs. Cleaning of Discs: Finger prints or stains on the surface of the disc may cause signal loss. Depending on the degree of the stain, the reflected luminosity from the signal surface may be weakened, resulting in degraded picture quality.
Preparing and Using the Remote Control Installing the Batteries If the remote control only operates when you get closer to the DVD Player, it may mean the batteries are weak. Please replace the two batteries simultaneously with two new batteries (Size AAA, R03, 1.5V) of the same type. Please note the positive (+) and negative (-) polarity shown inside the battery compartment on the remote. 1. Push down and then outwards to remove the battery compartment cover. 2.

Back Panel Connectors Connections on the Back Panel The back panel is where you’ll find all the physical connections for the DVD Player. You will only use one Video and one Audio connection at any given time. For instance, if you’re using the Composite Video jack to connect to your TV, the S-Video and Component connectors will be unused. Component Video Connectors Y, Cr & Cb connectors for use with TVs compatible with Component Video. Composite Video Connector Typical connection.
Connecting the DVD Player to your TV / Receiver Determining the Video & Audio Connections You Will Use The first step to using your new DVD Player is to make the cable connections that will allow you to see the video and hear the audio on your TV and optional Stereo or Digital Receiver. Your DVD Player has multiple Video and Audio outputs. Generally, you will only use one Video and one Audio output and any one time.
Typical Connection - Composite Video & Stereo Audio 1 Typical Connection - Connecting to a TV with Composite Video In and Stereo Audio In If your TV has only a single Video Input jack, typically a yellow-colored plug, you will use the Composite Video output of the DVD Player for the Video Connection. We’ll also assume your TV has Red and White Stereo Audio In connectors. You will use these for the Audio Connection.
Component Video Connections 3 Connecting to a TV with Component Video Inputs In order to enjoy the highest Video Quality available from your DVD Player, you must use a TV equipped with Component Video Inputs. If your TV supports Component Video, it’s recommended that you use this connection. Component Video separates the Video Signal into three separate “components” (Y-Cb-Cr), resulting in a higher quality picture than S-Video or Standard Composite Video.
Getting Started - Powering On & Playing a Disc After Video and Audio Cables are Connected and Power is Applied Once the DVD Player is properly connected to your TV and possibly your receiver also, turn on your TV and make sure it’s set to the correct input channel. The video input is usually configured as channel 0 or 1 on most TVs, but may be referred to as “Input 1” or “Aux In” or similar names. These procedures assume you are using a NTSCcompatible TV - standard for North and South America.
