Follow Steps 1 to 6 to hook up and adjust the settings of the player.

• 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 (mains lead) of each component before connecting.

Check that you have the following items:
• Audio/video cord (pinplug 

×

 3 

y pinplug 

×

 3) (1)

• Remote commander (remote) (1)
• R6 (size AA) batteries (2)

You can control the player using the supplied remote. Insert two R6 (size AA) 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.

• 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 

from battery leakage and corrosion.

Connect this player to your TV monitor, projector, or AV amplifier (receiver) using a video cord. 
Select one of the patterns A through D, according to the input jack on your TV monitor, 
projector, or AV amplifier (receiver).
In order to view progressive signal (525p or 625p) pictures with a compatible TV, projector, or 
monitor, you must use connection D.

A

Connect the SCART (EURO AV) cord (not supplied). Be sure to make the connections firmly to 
avoid hum and noise. When you connect using the SCART (EURO AV) cord, check that the TV 
conforms to S VIDEO or RGB signals. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the TV 
to be connected. Also, when you set “LINE” to “S VIDEO” or “RGB” under “SCREEN 
SETUP” in the Setup Display (page 72), use a SCART (EURO AV) cord that conforms to each 
signal.

 

If you are connecting to a VCR
Connect your VCR to the LINE 2 jack on the player. The VCR can record the signal only from 
your TV.

B

Connect the yellow plug of the audio/video cord (supplied) to the yellow (video) jacks. You will 
enjoy standard quality images.

Use the red and white plugs to connect to the audio input jacks (page 21). (Do this if you are 
connecting to a TV only.)

C

Connect an S VIDEO cord (not supplied). You will enjoy high quality images.

D

Connect the component via the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks using a component video 
cord (not supplied) or three video cords (not supplied) of the same kind and length. You will 
enjoy accurate colour reproduction and high quality images.
If your TV accepts progressive 525p/625p format signals, you must use this connection and set 
“COMPONENT OUT” to “PROGRESSIVE” in “SCREEN SETUP” (page 71). The 
PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up when the player outputs progressive signals.

When connecting to a wide screen TV
Depending on the disc, the image may not fit your TV screen. If you want to change the aspect 
ratio, please refer to page 71.

• Do not connect a VCR, etc. between your TV and the player. If you pass the player signals via the VCR, 

you may not receive a clear image on the TV screen. If your TV has only one audio/video input jack, 
connect the player to this jack.

• When you connect the player to your TV via the SCART (EURO AV) jacks, the TV’s input source is set 

to the player automatically when you start playback. In this case, press TV/DVD on the remote to return 
the input to the TV.

• If you set “LINE” to “RGB” in SCREEN SETUP (page 27, 73), the player outputs no component video 

signals.

• 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 the case of progressive scan picture problems, it is 
recommended that you switch the connection to the standard definition output. If there are questions 
regarding your Sony TV set’s compatibility with this DVD player, please contact our customer service 
centre.

• If you cannot view the pictures from a VCR through this player which is connected to a TV with RGB 

component jacks, set 

 to t (Audio/Video) on your TV. When you select 

 (RGB), the TV 

cannot receive the signal from the VCR.

• If you want to use your VCR’s SmartLink function, connect the VCR to your TV’s SCART (EURO AV) 

jack and connect the player to the TV with another jack.

• The SmartLink function may not work properly if your VCR is connected to your TV via the SCART 

(EURO AV) jacks on the player.
