Hookups (cont’d) 9

Connecting the DVD Player to a TV only (no stereo or amplifier)

TV has audio (red and white) and S-Video In jacks

For better picture quality, use an optional S-Video cable to connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD
Player to the S-VIDEO IN jack on your TV. You will not use the yellow VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD
Player, and you will not need the yellow video cable.

Set DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS to OFF on the DVD Player. Details are on pages 38-39. If you play a DVD
when the settings are wrong, the sound will be distorted or you may damage the speakers.

Connect the red and white audio cables to the red and white AUDIO OUT jacks (either 1 or 2)
on the DVD Player and to the red and white AUDIO IN jacks on the TV, matching the cable col-
ors to the jack colors.
