CONNECTING THE UNIT TO A TV USING THE HDMI OUTPUT JACK
Remarks：To view the videos on your TV from iPod, please plug the cable composite Video which is provided.
•
•
•
•
•
•
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.

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video
information fed to your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/monitor
for compatibility with this feature.) For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie on DVD-
Video on a progressive-scan compatible TV.
Use these jacks to connect to a TV with progressive video input jacks. Progressive scan is a video
scanning system that displays all lines in a frame in one pass, as opposed to the traditional system,
interlaced scan. This connection provides optimum quality. To ensure maximum picture quality, use
three video-grade cables for connections. Note that it is essential to match the color-coded connectors
with a compatible TV.

player will not operate with some DVD discs, as they are
preset. If a function you selected does not run as desired,
refer to the manual accompanying the DVD disc.

Data on an audio CD is divided into sections called “tracks”,
each of which is given a track number.
PICTURE CD
Data on a picture CD is usually not divided into separate
folders, they should appear in the root directory.
IMPORTANT:
It is important that you read the manual that accompanies the DVD disc, as there are features that are
on the DVD player that cannot be used with certain DVDs. There are also extra features on the DVD disc
that are different for each DVD disc, so they are not explained in this owner’s manual.
