Connections
Notes:
• Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment as well.
• When you connect the DVD/VCR to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the
wall outlet before making any connections.
• If you place the DVD/VCR near a tuner or radio, the radio broadcast sound might be distorted. In this case, place the DVD/
VCR away from the tuner and radio.
• The output sound of the DVD/VCR has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to a moderate
listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.
• Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the DVD/VCR’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the
speakers may be damaged.
• When connecting to a TV using the Video or S-video jack, make sure that the Progressive indicator “ ” on the
display window is not lit. If it is lit, the Video and S-video outputs do not feed the correct signals and you cannot see
any picture. To turn off the Progressive indicator, select PROGRESSIVE scan Off (see page 66).
Note: The S-video output and component video output transports the DVD-video signal exclusively and will deliver
enhanced DVD video picture performance.
If you connect the DVD/VCR to your TV
with the DVD OUT jacks, select the
corresponding video input on your
television to watch DVD video discs.

INTERLACED outputs
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component video inputs. Connecting to these inputs allows you to enjoy the highest quality
DVD picture playback.
Notes:
• Actual labels for component video inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer. (ex. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y, CB, CR)
• In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the playback picture may be reduced slightly or the tint may change. In such a
case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance.
