Hookups
Hooking Up the Player
Follow steps 1 to 6 to hook up and adjust the settings of the player.
Notes
• Plug cords securely to prevent unwanted noise.
• Refer to the instructions supplied with the components to be connected.
• You cannot connect this player to a TV that does not have a video input jack.
• Be sure to disconnect the power cord of each component before connecting.
Step 1: Unpacking
Check that you have the following items:
• Audio/Video cord (pinplug 
u 3 y pinplug u 3) (1)
• Remote commander (remote) (1)
• Size AA (R6) batteries (2)
Step 2: Inserting Batteries Into the Remote
You can control the player using the supplied remote. Insert two Size AA (R6) batteries by 
matching the 3 and # ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartment. When 
using the remote, point it at the remote sensor 
 on the player.
Notes
• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.
• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or a lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a 
malfunction.
• If you do not use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage

• Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and 
may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 480 progressive scan picture problems, it is 
recommended that the user switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there are questions 
regarding your TV set compatibility with this 480p DVD player model, please contact our customer service 
center.
Using the PROGRESSIVE button
By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel, you can select the signal format in 
which the player outputs video signals (Progressive or Interlace), and the conversion method for 
progressive signals. The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up when the player outputs 
progressive signals.
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows:
PROGRESSIVE AUTO

PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
m
NORMAL (INTERLACE)
PROGRESSIVE AUTO
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
Normally select this under the above condition. This automatically detects the software type, and 
selects the appropriate conversion method.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when 
either of the above conditions is not met.
PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and, 
– you want to fix the conversion method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video-based software.
Select this if the image is not clear when you select PROGRESSIVE AUTO.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when
either of the above conditions is not met.
NORMAL (Interlace)
Select this setting when:
– your TV does not accept progressive signals, or,
– your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (LINE OUT 
(VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT).

About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into two types: film-based software and video-based software.
Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at
30 frames/60 fields per second. Film-based software is derived from film and displays images at 
24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film.
In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format,
the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are
watching.
Note
When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may 
appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. 
Images from the S VIDEO OUT and LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they are output in the 
normal (interlace) format.
