Please Read This Manual
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.
Organization and Material
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.

Setup and Connections
Unpack the Box
Carefully unpack the items in the box:
• DVD player
• Remote control and batteries
• Audio/Video cables
• S-Video cable
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.
DISK DRAWER CAUTION
• Do not pull or push the disc tray forcibly.
• Do not touch the disc platter while it is in
motion.
• Do not rotate disc platters by hand.Doing
so may cause the player to malfunction.
• Before you move the player,first remove all
discs in the tray.When“NO DISC”is
displayed on the front panel display,turn
the power off.

Setup and Connections
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.
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.
VIDEO CD
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!

Setup and Connections
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.
Digital Cable
If you own a Dolby Digital receiver with an optical digital input, you
can use that cable to connect the DVD player to that receiver to get
the best sound quality. All six channels of audio will be transmitted
over this cable.
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.
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.

Setup and Connections
Don’t Forget to Plug It In
After you’ve connected the components,don’t
forget to plug in the DVD player.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 optical-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.
DVD Player + TV + VCR
+ Satellite Receiver ........................................ 12
If you want to include a VCR and a satellite receiver in your
connection scheme, this shows you one possible connection.
Finishing the Connection
After you have connected all of the components, you will
need to attach the power cord, and set the on-screen menu language.

Setup and Connections
Consult the owner’s manuals of the additional
components you are connecting for more
detailed connection information for those
particular components.
CAUTION
Do not stack electronic components or other
objects on top of the DVD player.See Safety
Information,inside front cover.
To Connect the DVD Player
If you do not have audio/video input jacks on your television, you
need to use an RF modulator and A/V cable “Y” adapter (not
included).
1. Connect the “Y” adapter to the DVD player’s ANALOG AUDIO
OUT L & R jacks, and a standard A/V cable to the VIDEO OUT
jack.
2. Connect the other ends of the cable and adapter to the
corresponding inputs on the RF modulator.
3. Connect the off-air antenna or your cable signal to the antenna
input on the RF modulator (if it has one).
4. Connect the output from the modulator to the antenna input on
your television.
To Watch DVD
Tune your television to RF modulator output channel (the modulator
should have a CH 3/4 switch to indicate the output channel).
NOTE:
• You may need to adjust the A/B switch on the RF modulator to
watch television programming.

compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream.
Such a connection can create a high level of
noise that may be harmful to your ears,and
could damage headphones or speakers.
If you have this problem,try changing the
Dolby Digital output from bitstream to PCM
using the Digital Output feature in the Setup
menu.See“Selecting Digital OutputType”on
