Handling of Discs:
Please hold the disc by gripping the rim or by placing the index finger in the
central hole. Never touch the signal surface, which is shiny. This applies to
both sides of double sided discs.
Cleaning of Discs:
Finger prints or stains on the surface of the disc may cause signal loss.
Depending on the degree of the stain, the reflected luminosity from the signal
surface may be weakened, resulting in degraded picture quality. Therefore,
please use a soft cloth and wipe in a radiating manner from the center of the
disc to the outer rims when cleaning the disc surface.
If the surface of your disc is very dirty, please wipe the disc with a moist cloth,
followed by a dry soft cloth to remove all water stains.
Never use electrostatic prevention products or solutions which contain
benzene, thinner or any other vaporizing substances, as they may damage
the disc surface.
Never add labels or adhesive tapes on the discs and be careful not to
scratch or damage the disc surface.
Storage of Discs:
To prevent discs from becoming bent or deformed, they should be vertically
kept in the disc storage case. To prevent damage, avoid leaving discs in your
car, where they may be subject to direct sunlight and high temperature.
Please thoroughly read the "Instruction Points for Attention" on the discs.
Cleaning the DVD Player:
The control panel and the case of the player will only require occasional wiping with a soft cloth. Areas with
stubborn stains can be cleaned with a soft cloth dipped in a neutral detergent. To prevent damaging the player,
never use vaporizing solutions.
Disc Accessories:
Do not use any disc accessory to improve the audio quality, disc protective solutions or lens cleaner. These
products may cause problems.

Determining the Video & Audio Connections You Will Use
The first step to using your new DVD Player is to make the cable connections that will allow you to see the video
and hear the audio on your TV and optional Stereo or Digital Receiver. Your DVD Player has multiple Video and
Audio outputs. Generally, you will only use one Video and oneAudio output and any one time. The type of outputs
you use will be determined by the capabilities of your Television or receiver. It is recommended that you use the
highest quality output that your TV or receiver will support.

Television Connections (One Required)
In order to use your DVD Player, your TV must support at least one of the Video Input types shown below. To get
started, identify the best Video Connection shown below that your TV offers and proceed to that section. If you are
using your TV’s speakers for audio, rather than a separate receiver or amplifier, you will use the Stereo Audio In,
outlined in sections 1 and 2.
Receiver Connection (Optional)
To take advantage of 5.1 Channel Dolby Surround Sound or Digital Theater System (DTS), you’ll need a receiver
and a Speaker System with five speakers plus a sub-woofer. Your receiver must be equipped with a CoAxial Digital
Audio In Jack.

Typical Connection - Connecting to a TV with Composite Video In and Stereo Audio In
If your TV has only a single Video Input jack, typically a yellow-colored plug, you will use the Composite Video output
of the DVD Player for the Video Connection. We’ll also assume your TV has Red and White Stereo Audio In
connectors. You will use these for the Audio Connection.
Use the included Video Cable (Yellow) to connect the Video Out of the DVD Player to the Video In of your TV.
Connect the Stereo Audio outputs (Red-Red, White-White) of the DVD Player to the matching Inputs of your TV.
Connect the Power Cord to the DVD Player and AC Power Outlet.
Turn on the TV and DVD Player (power switch on back) and select the Video Input on your TV. On some models,
this may be called “Input 1” or “Aux In”. You should now see the DVD Player’s splash screen on your TV.

Connecting to a TV with S-Video In and Stereo Audio In
If your TV has an S-Video Input, it’s recommended that you use this connection. S-Video separates brightness
and color signals, resulting in higher video quality than Standard Composite Video. *You must purchase a
separate S-Video Cable for this connection (not included).

If you are not using a separate receiver for audio, connect the StereoAudio
outputs (Red - Red, White - White) of the DVD Player to the corresponding
Inputs of your TV
Select the S-Video Input on your TV. On some models, this may be called “Input

Connecting to a TV with Component Video Inputs
In order to enjoy the highest Video Quality available from your DVD Player, you must use a TV equipped with
Component Video Inputs. If your TV supports Component Video, it’s recommended that you use this connection.
Component Video separates the Video Signal into three separate “components” (Y-Cb-Cr), resulting in a higher quality
picture than S-Video or Standard Composite Video. *You must purchase a set of three (3) Component Video Cables
for this connection (not included).

In order to activate the COMPONENT VIDEO Output, you must first connect the
unit using the COMPOSITE Video Output as described in Section 1.
Enter the SETUP Menu and change the VIDEO OUTPUT setting to YCbCr (See
Page 31). *For Help on using the SETUP MENU, see Page 28.
Now that the COMPONENT Outputs are Active, connect the COMPONENT
VIDEO Outputs from the DVD Player to the inputs on your TV and disconnect
the COMPOSITE Cable.
Select the Video Input Channel on your TV that corresponds to the
COMPONENT Video Inputs. On some models, this may be called “Input 3” or
“Video 3”. You should now see the DVD Player’s splash screen on your TV.

After Video and Audio Cables are Connected andPower is Applied
Once the DVD Player is properly connected to your TV and possibly your receiver also, turn on your TV and make
sure it’s set to the correct input channel. The video input is usually configured as channel 0 or 1 on most TVs, but
may be referred to as “Input 1” or “Aux In” or similar names. These procedures assume you are using a NTSC-
compatible TV - standard for North and South America. If you are using a PAL-type, you will need to change the TV
Type first. In this case, see Adjusting Audio and Video Settings.
Power on the DVD Player
Push the Power button firmly to turn on the player. You
should see the message “ON” in the DVD Display. Then, the
player will attempt to read a disc. With no disc in the unit, the
message INSERT DISC will be displayed.
