Preparation Never make or change connections with the power switched on. ● Depending on the equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect this player. Possible connections are shown in the following drawings. ● Please refer to the manuals of other equipment as necessary to make the best connections. ● Do not connect this player via your VCR.

Preparation MIXED 2CH jacks Component Video jacks Use audio/video cable supplied with this player to connect the L (left) and R (right) jacks to corresponding input jacks of your audio equipment such as Stereo amplifier.

Preparation English Use commercially available coaxial cables. Receiver (and TV) with component input is required. Observe the color of each jack when connecting. If your receiver does not have component output jacks, connecting the player’s component output directly to your TV’s component input can reproduce better video image. Composite Video jacks Use audio/video cable supplied with this player when connecting the player to a TV.
