Setting Up the System
The following is the procedure for setting up your home theater system, complete with 5.1
channel surround sound system.
To set up the system:
1. Set the player in its intended location.
2. Connect the five speakers to the five
AUDIO OUTPUT terminals on the back of
the subwoofer. For each speaker, connect
the wire with the white stripe on it to the –
terminal, and connect the other wire to
the + terminal. For example, for the center
speaker, connect the white-striped wire to
CEN– and the other to CEN+.
To connect a wire, press down the tab,
insert the wire, then release the tab to
capture the exposed end of the wire.
3. Using the speaker cables, connect the the
5.1 channel audio outputs on the back of
the player to the associated AUDIO INPUT
connectors on the back of the subwoofer.
The outputs on the player have the same
layout as the inputs on the subwoofer, but
rotated.
You can also use the auxiliary input above
the 5.1 channel terminals (labeled L and R)
to connect a separate audio source to the
speaker system.

Connecting to Other Devices
Before using your home theater system for the first time, you will need to connect it to a display.
In addition, you may want to connect the player to a separate audio system.
Connecting to a Display Using Composite Video
Composite video, though the lowest quality of the three
video outputs on the player, is the most common format
and so can be found on just about any display.
To connect to a display using composite video:
1. Using the included audio/video cable (see the
accessories on page 2), connect one yellow RCA
connector to the composite video input on the
display, and attach the other yellow RCA connector
to the yellow video jack on the rear of the player.
2. (OPTIONAL) To connect the audio output to the
display as well, use the red (right) and white (left)
RCA connectors on the included audio/video cable to
connect the AUDIO jacks on the rear of the player to
the display’s audio input.
3. Select YUV as the Video Output setting under the
Video setup menu on the player (see “Configuring
the Player” on page 23).
4. Select the appropriate TV Shape and TV System
settings under the Video setup menu.

Connecting to a Display Using S-Video
S-Video provides better image quality than composite
video, but lower image quality than component video. It
is available on most displays.
Note: The pins used in S-Video connectors are fragile.
Use care when handling S-Video cables to avoid
bending or breaking pins.
To connect to a display using S-Video:
1. Using an S-Video cable, connect the S-VIDEO output
on the player to the S-Video input on the display.
2. (OPTIONAL) To connect the audio output to the
