¡ AC Power Cord: Connect this plug to an
AC outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a switch,
make certain that it is in the ON position.

™ Coaxial Digital Output: Connect this jack
to the coaxial digital input of the AVR 1500 (see
page 10) for Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM audio
playback.

NOTE: The coaxial digital output should only be
connected to a digital input. Even though it is
the same RCA-type connector as standard ana-
log audio connections, DO NOT connect it to a
conventional analog input jack.

£ SCART OUT (TV): If your TV has a SCART
socket, you can connect a SCART cable to your
TV and to your DVD Player for improved video
quality. (see page 10).

¢ Composite Video Output: Connect this
jack to the video input on a television or video
projector, or to a video input on an A/V receiver
or processor if you are using that type of device
for video input switching.

∞ S-Video Output: Connect this jack to the
S-Video input on a television or video projector,
or to an S-Video input on an A/V receiver or

Audio/Video connections under Setup and
Connections on the following pages.

10 SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

When DVD´s encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS are
played, the Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is out-
put from the player’s COAXIAL digital audio out-
put. When the player is connected to the AVR
1500, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in
your home. A coaxial audio cable (optional) is
required for these connections, as shown below.

■ Note: With multiple video sources, your AVR

1500 can be used for selecting the video sig-
nal and routing it to the TV. Connect the video
or S-video output of the DVD 1500 (whatever
is provided with your device) to the video or S-
video input on your AVR 1500 and the
video/S-video output of this device to your TV.
For more details, see  the manual of the 
AVR 1500.

■ Ensure that the power switch of this unit and

other equipment to be connected is set to off
before commencing connection.

■ Do not block ventilation holes of any of the

equipment and arrange them so that air can
circulate freely.

■ Read through the instructions before connect-

ing other equipment.

■ Ensure that you observe the color coding

when connecting audio and video cables.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS  11

Notes:
■ The Video output (yellow) combines the com-

plete video signal (composite) and sends it to
the TV (or to the AV Receiver) by one line
only. Use the Video output, when your TV set
is equipped with a Video input jack only.

■ The S (separate) video output connector sepa-

rates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals
before transmitting them to the TV set in
order to achieve a sharper picture. Use the S-
video cable (optional) when connecting the
player to a TV equipped with an S-video input
for improved picture clarity. Never connect
both outputs, Video and S-Video, to your TV
or AV Receiver, only one of them.

■ Most European TV´s are equipped with SCART

connectors rather than with a normal video
input (yellow cinch). In that case the SCART
connection should be used. Note, that via
SCART no audio signal will be fed to the TV
(audio signals are only  provided by the AVR
1500 connected to the player).

■ The SCART connector for the TV provides the

composite video signal, and the direct RGB
signal, delivering the best video performance
possible. To view RGB video on your TV, the
RGB compatible SCART connector on the TV
must be used . As soon as the TV is connected
it automatically will turn to RGB mode, only
some TVs must be set to RGB mode manually.
Note that with RGB video the color intensity
cannot be adjusted with most TVs.

■ 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 non-
NTSC compatible TVs.
