Setup and
Connections
There’s Always a Catch
Because DVD is a new technology, we recommend that
you take some time right now to read through this
manual and familiarize yourself with the player.
I Know, You Really Want to Get Going
I know that you’d rather use your DVD player than read
about it, so I’ve divided this manual up into sections
that address how to use each type of disc that you can
play on your player: DVDs, Audio CDs, and Video CDs.
So, you don’t have to read all of the book at once.
Please Read This Section First
This section includes key information to get you started
in the right direction. You’ll get your DVD player set up
and connected, then you can go back to the sections
that discuss specific features as you want to use them.

A Note about the Illustrations
The illustrations in this book are
representational, and in some instances
may not exactly match the item
represented.

4Setup and Connections
Unpacking the Box
Unpack the Box
Carefully unpack the items in the box:
• DVD player
• Remote control and batteries
• Audio/Video cables
• S-Video cable
• Power cord
Install Batteries in the Remote
1. Open the battery door on the back of the remote.
2. Insert fresh batteries. Make sure that the polarities
(+ and –) are aligned correctly.
3. Replace the battery door.
Important Battery Information
• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more,
be sure to remove the batteries because they can leak and
cause damage.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to
federal, state, and local regulations.
• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different
battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not
replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an
attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be
recharged.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can
cause skin burns or other personal injury.

Setup and Connections 5
Prepare to Connect the DVD Player
Types of Discs That the Player Can Play
This DVD player is capable of playing the following types of
discs, having the corresponding logos:
• DVDs
• Audio CDs
• Video CDs
Prepare to Connect the DVD Player
Before you connect your DVD player, there are a few things
that you need to know.
Protect Your Components from Power Surges
• Connect all components before plugging any power cords
into the wall outlet.
• Always turn off the DVD player, TV, and other components
before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum or
Interference
• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
• Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back
panel instead of straight down the middle after you
connect your components.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away
from the audio/video cables as much as possible.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded.
DIGITAL VIDEO
CAUTION
Protect your components from
overheating.
• Do not stack electronic components
or other objects on top of the DVD
player.
• Do not block ventilation holes in any
of the components. Arrange the
components so that air can circulate
freely.
• Allow adequate ventilation when
placing your components in a stand.
See Safety Information, inside front
cover.
DO NOT Use CD-R Discs!
The wave length of the pickup of this
DVD player may cause CD-R discs to be
erased. DO NOT play CD-R discs in this
player!

6Setup and Connections
Types of Jacks and Cables
Types of Jacks and Cables
Before deciding which method to connect the DVD player, take
a moment to familiarize yourself with the different types of
jacks and cable.
S-Video Jack and Cable (S-VHS)
The S-Video jack provides excellent picture quality for your
DVD player. This jack is available on many TVs. Because the
S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, and not the sound,
you’ll also need to connect the left and right audio cables.
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo
sound quality, and should be used if your TV has no S-Video
jack. Each jack is color coded (yellow for video, red for right
audio, and white for left audio). If your TV has only one input
for audio (mono), you may need a Y-adaptor (not included) to
combine sound from both channels.
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)
You may not need coaxial cables to connect the DVD player to
your TV, but you may need to use coaxial cables to carry the
cable, satellite, or off-air signal to your television.
Digital Cable
If you own a Dolby Digital receiver with a digital coaxial input,
you can use that cable to connect the DVD player to that
receiver to get the best sound quality.
RF Modulator
If your television has only an RF input jack, you will need to
use an RF modulator (not included) to convert the line output
signal to an RF signal.

Details at the end of this section.
Choosing a Connection
The following pages show examples of connections commonly
used to connect the DVD player with a TV and other
components. Refer to your TV, VCR, or Dolby Digital Receiver
owner’s manual for more information on hooking up your
specific components.
DVD Player + TV without A/V Input Jacks .................................. 8
If your television only has antenna (RF) inputs, you will need to
get an RF modulator and A/V cable “Y” adapter (not included)
in order to connect the DVD player.
DVD Player + TV with A/V Input Jacks (and/or S-Video) .......... 9
If your television has A/V input jacks use them to connect your
DVD for better quality picture and sound. (For the best quality
picture, use the S-Video input if your television has one.)
DVD Player + Stereo Amplifier/Receiver + TV ..........................10
If your television has an S-Video input, and you have a Dolby
Digital Receiver (with a digital coaxial-type input jack), use this
connection to get the best quality picture and sound.
DVD Player + TV + VCR .............................................................. 11
If you want to include a VCR in your connection scheme, this
shows you one possible connection.
Finishing the Connection

DVD Copy Protection
Many DVD discs are encoded with copy
protection. Because of this, you should
only connect your DVD player directly
to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting
to a VCR results in a distorted picture
from copy-protected DVD discs.

12 Setup and Connections
Connect the AC Power Cord
After you have connected the components, you need to
connect the AC power cord. Connect the AC power cord to the
back of the DVD player and to an AC power outlet (AC120 V,
50-60 Hz).
Setting Up the Menu Language
By default, the player’s menu language is set to English. If you
want to change the language, press MENU on the remote.
After plugging in the player, the first time you press the
button, this screen comes up:
Press the number on the remote corresponding to the
language of your choice.

A New Way of Looking At Things
In this section you learn how to use your DVD player to
play DVD discs (DVDs for short).
As a little up-front information, you should know that
although some of the remote buttons look the same as
those you would use with a VCR or CD player, the
functions work somewhat differently. So, take some time
now to find out how to play DVDs, and then you can sit
back and enjoy all of the features it has to offer you.
Also Keep In Mind...
In order for some of the player’s features to work, the
DVDs that you use must be encoded with specific
information. For example, a disc must contain subtitles
in order for the player to show them to you.
Regional Coding
Both the DVD player and the discs are coded by region.
These regional codes must match in order for the disc to
play. If the codes do not match, the disc will not play.
This player’s code is Region No. 1.

Loading and Playing a DVD
Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the
player. Note that the following discs CANNOT be used with this
player:
• Laserdisc
• CD-I, CD-ROM, CD-R, DVD-ROM
• MiniDisc
• Discs recorded using other broadcast standards
(i.e. PAL or SECAM)
• CD-G discs play audio only, not graphics
To Load and Play a DVD
Make sure the DVD player is properly connected (see “Setup
and Connections”) and turned on before you begin.
1. Press the OPEN•CLOSE button on the front of the
DVD player.
2. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc’s label
facing up (double-sided discs have a small label on both
sides near the center).
3. Press the OPEN•CLOSE or PLAY button to close the disc
tray.
The DVD player reads the disc’s table of contents, and then
begins playback, or displays the disc menu (if the DVD has
one). A DVD’s behavior is determined by how it’s been
“authored”—or programmed.
An example of a disc menu.
Single-sided disc (label side up)
Double-sided disc
Resume Feature
When you stop disc play, the player
remembers where you stopped, so when
you press PLAY again to begin play, it
will pick up where you left off (unless
the disc is removed, the STOP button is
pressed twice, or the player is
unplugged). Because this feature uses
elapsed time as a marker, this feature
does not work with discs that do not
keep elapsed time (for example,
interactive DVDs).
Accessing the Disc Menu
Many DVDs will skip the disc menu and
begin playback automatically. During
playback, press the MENU button on
the remote to access the disc menu.

to DVD, the following example should give you a pretty good
idea of what to expect.
1. When the disc is playing, press MENU to bring up the disc
menu.
2. Use the up and down MOVE arrows to highlight the setting
or feature you want to change and press OK.
The Language setting is selected

What’s a Scene?
Because DVD is a digital format, the
information can be separated in many
