18 ■Connecting the DVD receiver and 
the subwoofer
Connect the subwoofer to the DVD receiver using the 
system control cable. Attach one end to the subwoofer and 
the other to the SYSTEM CONNECTOR terminal at the 
rear of the DVD receiver.– After inserting the system control cable, be sure to 
tighten the cable screws.
– Ensure that the speaker cables are correctly 
connected. Improper connections may damage the 
system due to a short-circuit. 
– When connecting the speakers, fix the speaker 
cables in place so that cables do not loosen. If your 
foot or hand accidentally gets caught on a loose 
speaker cable, the speaker may fall. 
– To prevent unwanted noise, do not place the 
subwoofer too close to the DVD receiver, AC 
power adaptor, TV or other sources of radiation.

2■Connecting a TV
– You only need to make one video connection from the following options (A,B,C, or D), depending on the 
capabilities of your TV.
– Do not connect the power cords until all cable connections are completed.
AV MONITOR OUT terminal  
(U.K. and Europe models only)
The SCART cable, or “Euro AV cable”, supports AV 
MONITOR OUT signal transmission, providing you with 
the best possible picture and sound. If your TV has only 
one terminal for video input, and you want to connect it 
directly to the DVD receiver, you can use the AV  
MONITOR OUT connector. Connect one end of the 
SCART cable to the AV MONITOR OUT connector and 
the other end to the SCART connector on your TV.
TV channels, if you use AV  M O N I TO R  O U T terminal  to 
connect the TV. To use 
AV MONITOR OUTterminal, 
make sure to set the DVD receiver’s component setting to 
“
RGB” (see page 25).
S VIDEO output terminal
S-(separate)video connections achieve a clearer picture 
than composite video connections. Use an S-video cable 
(not supplied) to connect the DVD receiver’s 
S VIDEO jack to the S-video input jack (or Y/C or 
S-VHS jack) on your TV.
VIDEO output terminal 
Use a composite video cable (yellow -supplied) to connect 
the DVD receiver’s VIDEO jack to the video input jack 
(or A/V In/Video In/Composite/ Baseband jack) on your 
TV.
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals 

Use the component video cables (red/blue/green, not 
supplied) to connect the DVD receiver’s Y P
B PR  jacks to 
the corresponding component video input jacks (or the Y 
Pb/Cb Pr/Cr/ YUV jacks) on your TV.
Progressive scan video quality is only available when 
using Y P
B PR in conjunction with a progressive scan TV. 
To activate the progressive scan function see “Progressive 
function” on page 39.

from the remote control to prevent an explosion or 
acid leak.
– Dispose of the batteries according to the regional 
regulations.
– If a battery starts leaking, dispose of it 
immediately. 
Be careful not to let leaking battery acid come into 
contact with your skin or clothing. Before inserting 
new batteries, wipe the compartment clean.
– Replace the batteries within two minutes to 
preserve the memory in the remote control.
■Using the remote control

to select the mode you wish to control (for example 
TV, DVD/CD).
→ The selected source mode appears in the display 
panel. 
2Select the desired function (for example, h or b / 
a).
The remote control can also operate a television, cable 
TV or satellite connected to the DVD receiver. 
However, it is first necessary to enter the remote 
control code for the equipment in the remote control’s 
memory (see “LIST OF REMOTE CONTROL 
CODES” at the end of this manual).
– Be careful not to spill liquid on the remote control.
– Be careful not to drop the remote control.
