8 Hookups

Determining the best possible connection...

Your existing equipment, especially your TV, will determine your connection possibilities. However,

the following guidelines describe which options provide the best picture and sound quality.

HHHHHHHH

Component Video provides the best picture quality. Details are on page 12.

HHHHHH

S-Video provides excellent picture quality. Details are on page 11.

HHHH

Composite Video (a yellow Video jack) provides good picture quality.

Details are on page 10.

HHHH

Your TV may have only an RF-style jack, usually labeled Antenna In, 75 ohm,

or RF In. You must purchase an RF modulator and extra RF coaxial cable.

Details are on page 9.

HHHHHHHH

Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound, but you must have a digital

stereo. Connect either the COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the

Player to your Stereo for the best sound quality. Details are on page 13.

You cannot hear SACDs or MP3 files playing if you use the Digital Audio connections.

HHHHHH

If you have a Multichannel Receiver, (which is connected to Front, Center, and

Surround/Rear Speakers and a subwoofer) connect the Player’s MULTICHANNEL

AUDIO OUT jacks to the corresponding IN jacks on the Receiver.

Details are on page 14.

HHHHHH

If digital connections or multichannel connections are not possible, connect the Player’s

red and white (right and left) AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo

or TV. Details are on pages 9-12.

If your TV has a single Audio In jack instead of separate left/right Audio In jacks, you

will need a different audio cable than the one supplied. You need a “splitter” audio

cable to go from the left/right AUDIO OUT jacks of the Player to the single Audio In

jack on your TV. See an electronics retailer or contact Philips for details.

Before you begin...

● Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, Receiver, or other equipment as necessary. Note the

style of jacks and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different

Audio and Video In channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear the Player’s

materials on the TV, Stereo, etc. Some equipment may let you choose the channels using a

remote control or by adjusting a TV/VIDEO/AUXILIARY switch.

● Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets

only after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with

equipment connected to the power outlet.

Remember...

● Connect the Player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the Player to a VCR, then

connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may distort the picture and sound. Also,

your VCR may have a copy protection system that may distort the picture or prevent playback

of some Discs.

● Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY

IN, AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or External In, etc. These channels are often

near channel 00. Your TV or its remote control may have a Video or Auxiliary switch/button

that allows you to choose the correct Video In channel. See your TV manual for details. Or, go

to channel 1 on the TV and change TV channels down until you see the Player’s blue screen

saver on the TV.

Unless you are using an RF modulator, the TV’s Video In channel is not channel 3 or 4 (as it

might be with a VCR).

● Set the Stereo or Receiver to the correct channel or “source” mode.

● Do not connect the Player’s AUDIO OUT jacks to the PHONO IN jack of your Stereo.

● You only need one audio connection and one video connection between the Player and your

TV and/or Stereo or Receiver. So, you might not use all the jacks on the Player.

● Set TV System (page 39), Digital output (page 43), and/or Analog output (page 44) accordingly.

Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 9-15. Follow the

steps for the hookup you choose.
