When connecting this unit to the TV, make sure the power is off and both units are unplugged before making any connections.
When connecting this unit, refer to the owner’s manual of the TV, as well as this manual.
Connect the unit to your TV directly. If you connect the unit through a VCR, the playback picture will be distorted because
DVD video discs are copy protected.
If S-Video is used, set the Video Output option (see page 17) to S-Video.
To watch iPod videos, you must have the unit connected to a TV via S-video or Video Out. You cannot connect the unit to a
TV via HDMI or composite video out and watch videos from your iPod.
HDMI cable is not provided.
The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a digital audio/ video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed
digital streams. HDMI supports, on a single cable (HDMI cable not supplied), all video formats including standard, enhanced,
and high- definition, as well as multi-channel digital audio. To enjoy the enhanced audio and video quality that HDMI offers,
you need an HD Ready television with HDMI connection.
You then simply need to select the maximum resolution supported by your television in the menu:
- 1280 x 720p (720p)
- 1920 x 1080i (1080i)
- 1920 x 1080p (1080p)
Note: “p” signifies progressive, while “I” signifies interlaced.
HDMI Mode Display Problem - When you select an HDMI display mode which is not supported by your television (if you
choose, for example, 1080i while your television supports up to 720p only), you get a black screen. As a result, you cannot
change the HDMI resolution in the setup menu. In this case, plug the Video Composite cable (included) and press the VIDEO
button of the remote control repeatedly until the correct video mode is selected and the picture appears on the screen again.
Then you can press the SETUP button in order to choose a lower resolution that is supported by your television.
