The DVD is a multipurpose DVD player, capable of playing both DVD-Video discs and conventional CD audio discs with the highest fidelity and access to future software upgrades via the Internet. [. . . ] The DVD will "downmix" Dolby Digital recordings to Pro Logic, available on these connectors, all analog surround or stereo signals will be fed to them directly. You can also select the audio and video signals of all your video devices with your AV Receiver/Amplifier. For more information see "Note" on next page. SETUP AND CONNECTIONS 11 Setup and Connections Connecting to a receiver/amplifier with Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS (Digital Theater Systems) decoder When DVD´s encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, the Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is output from the player's OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital audio output. When the player is connected to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your home. An optical digital audio cable or coaxial audio cable (both optional) is required for these connections, as shown below. I Note: With multiple video sources, your Audio/Video device can be used for selecting the video signal and routing it to the TV. Connect the video or S-video output of the DVD player (whatever is provided with your device) to the video or S-video input on your device and the video/S-video output of this device to your TV. For more details, see the manual of your Audio/Video amplifier/receiver. I Note for Analog Audio: The connection from Audio Out to the TV is optional only. Normally you´ll hear the sound from your AV-system´s speakers, so the TV volume should be completely turned down. If you plan to use your DVD player also without having to turn on your complete system, this connection must exist, then you can turn up the TV´s volume as needed.

I The SCART connector provides the video signal as well as audio (stereo L/R) signals. I The SCART connector for the TV provides the composite video signal or the direct RGB signal, delivering the best video performance possible, selectable in the Setup menu. To view RGB video on your TV, the RGB compatible SCART connector on the TV must be used and the DVD´s TV SCART connector must be set to "RGB". Note that with RGB video the color intensity cannot be adjusted with most TVs. I When the RGB video signal is used, DVD´s recorded with the NTSC format (with regional code 0 or 2) can be viewed even on nonNTSC compatible TVs. Component Video Connection If the video display has component video inputs, connect the Component Video Outputs on the DVD to the corresponding input jacks on your television. If you are using a progressive scan television or projector, you must also change the Scan Type in the DVD player's Video Set-Up Menu from "Interlaced" to "Progressive".

Remote control operation range Point the remote control unit from no more than about 7 m from the remote control sensor and within about 60 degrees of the front of the unit. Service life of batteries I The batteries normally last for about one year, although this depends on how often, and for what operations, the remote control is used. I If the remote control unit fails to work even when it is operated near the player, replace the batteries. Notes: I Do not attempt to recharge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or throw the batteries into fire. I Wipe away any leakage inside the remote control unit, and install new batteries. I If leakage should come into contact with parts of your body, wash it off thoroughly with water. I Batteries contain chemical substances and we recommend that you dispose of them properly and in compliance with any local regulations.
