Home theater video connections
This player outputs video in a number of
different ways. Choose the one most suit-
able for your system using the guide below.
Connecting SCART (for Europe
only) and S-Video cables
SCART and S-Video cables will only plug in
one way, so make sure the plug is correctly
lined up with the jack before inserting. Be
sure to fully insert for a good connection.
Note
• The A/V EURO CONNECTOR connector can
output composite, S-Video or RGB component
video. If you connect just one TV, use the A/V
EURO CONNECTOR connector. You can select
the type of video output by changing the Video
Out setting in the Setup Menu (page 36).
S-Video or composite video?
S-Video should give a better picture, so if
you have an S-Video input, use it. S-Video
cables are available from any good audio/
visual dealer.
Connecting HDMI cables
With an HDMI cable, both uncompressed
video data and digital audio data (e.g.,
LPCM or bit stream data such as Dolby
Digital, DTS, or MPEG data) can be trans-
mitted with just a single connector.
By transmitting DVD image data directly as
digital data without it being first converted
into analog format, it becomes possible to
provide the very finest in image quality (see
pages 30, 37).
Note
• The HDMI output of this unit can be connected
to a DVI jack on a TV or other device using a
conversion adapter. In this case, it is necessary
to use a TV or display with an HDCP-compat-
ible DVI input. (see page 37)
• There may be no image output if connected to
a TV or display that is not compatible with the
above format.
•Refer to the instruction manual of the TV or
display to be connected to this unit for detailed
information regarding the HDMI terminal.
•When connecting a progressive input TV with
the component output of the player, select
Progressive in the Components Out setting
(see page 36).

If your TV has a component video input, we
recommend using it to connect directly to the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT of this player. Use
the standard 3-jack component video ouput.
If a component input is not
available to you, connect this
player to your TV or AV
receiver using either the
VIDEO or S2 jacks.
Plug into a standard
AC wall outlet.
If your TV and projector have a
HDMI terminal for Video and
Audio Input, we recommend
using it to connect directly to
the HDMI out of this player.
If your TV has a SCART input, we
recommend using it to connect directly
to the A/V EURO CONNECTOR on
this player. (for Europe only)
Important
• Before making or changing any rear panel
connections, make sure that all components are
switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet.
• When connecting the component is turned on,
do not unplug the power cord of this DVD player
from the wall outlet. The speaker may be
damaged.
