Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets
only after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment
connected to the power outlet.

Connect the yellow VIDEO OUT jack on the rear of the DVD Player to the corresponding
VIDEO IN jack on your TV. Use the supplied video cable, which has yellow ends. On the TV, the VIDEO IN
jack is usually yellow and might be labeled video, CVBS, composite, or baseband.

Connect the supplied audio cable to the red and white AUDIO OUT (right and left) jacks on
the rear of the DVD Player and to the right/left AUDIO IN jacks on the TV. The supplied audio
cable has red and white ends. Match the cable colors to the jack colors. On the TV, the AUDIO IN jacks
are usually labeled Audio.The red jack is the right (stereo channel) and the white jack is the left (stereo
channel).

Press the STANDBY-ON 2 button on the front of the DVD Player or the remote control to
turn on the DVD Player.
6
Turn on the TV power. Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called
AUX or AUXILIARY IN, AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or External In, etc.These channels are
often near channel 00. Or, your TV’s remote control may have a switch or button that lets you select a
VIDEO setting. See your TV manual for details. Or, go to your lowest TV channel and change TV channels
down until you see the DVD logo on the TV screen.
Remember...
●
Connect the Player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the DVD Player to a VCR, then connect the
VCR to a TV.This type of connection may distort the picture and sound or give you a black and white picture.
Also, your VCR might have the copy protection system, which could distort the DVD image or prevent playback
of some Discs.
●
If your TV does not have red, white, and yellow Audio and Video In jacks, refer to the DVD Player’s owner’s manual
for other hookup options. If your TV only has a single Antenna In or RF In jack, you will need an RF
modulator. See the owner’s manual for connection details.
