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. VIDEO

R
To connect to a display using composite video: AUDIO
L
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 (OPTIONAL)

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

AUDIO

Connecting to Other Devices

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. VIDEO

Note: The pins used in S-Video connectors are fragile. AUDIO

R

Use care when handling S-Video cables to avoid L

bending or breaking pins.
