Connecting to an Audio System and TV with
COMPONENT VIDEO Inputs
■
It is also possible to “split” the audio and video signals by sending the video signal to your TV set and
the audio signal to an amplifier. Doing so has the advantage that you can:
• Listen to the sound of audio CDs and DVD video discs in stereo (via the amplifier) or in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic
Surround or DTS (see pages 12, 13);
• Enjoy a better picture quality of DVD video discs on a TV equipped with Component Video inputs than would be possible via
an S-video connection.
Notes
• See also the manuals of your audio amplifier and TV set for establishing the correct connections and making the required settings.
• Before connecting the DVD Changer to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all components from the wall outlet.
• This DVD Changer outputs a very dynamic audio signal. Be sure to set the amplifier’s volume to a moderate listening level to avoid damaging
your speakers due to sudden volume surges.
• Switch off the amplifier or select another input source before connecting or disconnecting the DVD Changer’s power cable. If you leave the
amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.
Your DV-C501 provides several options for audio playback: you can use the analog or one of the digital audio outputs. If your
amplifier only provides analog inputs, use the DV-C501’s ANALOG OUTPUTs and select them via the on-screen menu (“Analog
2ch”). See “Audio Settings” on page 36 for details.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (COLOR DIFFERENCE):
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with Color Difference inputs. Connecting the DV-C501 to these inputs allows you to enjoy a
better picture quality. Be sure to match the DV-C501’s VIDEO OUTPUTs with the Component Video inputs of your TV or monitor
(see the illustration).
Actual labels for the Color Difference inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer (e.g. Y, B-Y, R-Y, etc.).
On some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the picture may be reduced slightly, or the tint may change. In such cases, adjust
the TV or monitor for optimum performance.
Note:
• If you place the DVD Changer near a tuner or radio, the radio reception might be distorted due to interference. In this case, locate the DV-
C501 away from the tuner or radio.
