Notes
• When making connections to this unit or when changing
connections, check that the unit is off by pressing
STANDBY/ON
making sure that nothing is being
displayed in the display window, and then unplug the
power cord from the power outlet.
• The video output on this player uses copy protect circuitry
to prevent the video playback on DVDs from being copied.
If you connect the player to a TV via a VCR, or record and
play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback
picture may not be normal.
Connecting Your DVD Player
Unlike any other audiovisual media format, DVD offers a
wide array of audio and video output options which
allows playback to be enjoyed in any number of system
configurations from a standard TV with stereo audio
input to a home theater system with a TV or monitor and
full surround sound capabilities.
