SETUP AND CONNECTIONS • Ensure that the power switch of this unit (and of other equipment to be connected) is set to "Off" before commencing connection. • Do not block the ventilation holes of any of the equipment and arrange them so that air can circulate freely. Connecting to a TV and Analog Receiver • Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment. • Ensure that you observe the color-coding when connecting audio and video cables. TV To video input connector (yellow) To analog audio input connectors (red/white) on the TV or analog receiver To S-video input connector NOTE: While we suggest the use of S-video for higher quality pictures, you may use the standard composite video connection if your TV does not have an S-video input. Only one video connection is needed, not both. To power outlet (AC 120V/60Hz) DVD 31 31 240 NOTES: • The video output (yellow) combines the complete video signal (composite) and sends it to the TV (or to the A/V receiver) by one cable only. Use the video output when your TV set is equipped with a video input jack only. • The S-video output connector separates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals before transmitting them to the TV set in order to achieve a sharper picture. Use the S-video cable when connecting the player to a TV equipped with an S-video input for improved picture clarity. Never connect both outputs, video and S-video, to your TV or A/V receiver; use only one of them. • When the audio signal is to be fed to an analog receiver rather than to the TV, connect the audio out jacks to any analog audio input on your amplifier/ decoder/receiver. The DVD 31 will "downmix" Dolby Digital recordings to Pro Logic.* For more information see the IMPORTANT NOTE on next page. 12 SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
