Connecting the DV-SP405-Continued

Connecting Your TV

- Connect the DVD Player to the TV directly. If you
connect the DVD Player to a VCR, TV/V CR combi-
nation, or video selector, the playback picture may be
distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.

Using S-Video (not European model)

If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-Video input,

you can use this instead of the standard (composite) out-

put for a better quality picture.

- Use an S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect the S
VIDEO OUTPUT to an S-Video input on your TV (or
monitor or AV receiver).

Note:
~ To set up the player for use with a progressive scan

TV, see Video Output settings - Component Out on
page 46.

Using SCART (European model only)

Ifyour TV has a SCART-type AV input, you can use a

SCART cable to connect this player to your TV. This

type of connection carries both the sound and the picture,

so theres no need to connect up the AUDIO OUTPUT

UK and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

- Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the AV
CONNECTOR to an AV input on your TV.

Line up the small triangle ab Wjaek-Wiflrthe-same
mark on the plug before plug giing in.

nect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to a
component video input on your TV, monitor or AV
receiver.
