Helpful Hints
You only need to make one video connection to your TV in
order to view the DVD playback.
If your TV has S-Video or Component
(Pr Pb Y) video jacks, use one of these
video connections instead for higher picture
quality.
If your TV has only a single Antenna In jack, you
will need an accessory RF modulator. The RF modulator
converts the video from the DVD system so it can play
through the TV’s Antenna connector. Refer to your
owner’s manual for proper connection.
Do not switch the P-SCAN to ‘ON’ position,
unless you have connected the DVD system to a
Progressive Scan TV using the Component (Pr Pb Y)
video jacks.
When listening to TV programs, press TV/AV button on
the remote to set the DVD system to TV/AV mode in order for
the sound to be heard.
