Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.

• Turn off the TV and/or components before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safeguards sheetpacked with your DVD/VCR.

Protect Components from Overheating• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can

circulate freely.

• Don’t stack components.

• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from itwon’t flow around other components.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV insteadof straight down the middle of the back of the TV.

• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin leadcables away from audio/video cables.

Connection PicturesAudio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in thisbook show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).

DVD/VCR + TV + Audio ReceiverBoth Dolby Digital® and DTS® are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto thedigital track of film (while the film is being made). Both of these formats provide up to six separatechannels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer. The disc will play 5.1-channelsound only if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the disc is encoded inthe Dolby Digital or DTS format.

Please Read This Before Using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT Jack!

This player’s digital output jack is designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder. Olderdigital equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection can create a high levelof noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or speakers. It is important to choose thecorrect Digital Out setting in the DVD Player’s Audio menu, especially when you use either of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTjacks. For more information, go to page 37.

1. Connect the left and right audio cables to your audio/video receiver and to the AUDIO OUT L (left –white) and R (right – red) jacks on the back of your DVD/VCR.

2. If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, use one of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks to connect thereceiver to the DVD/VCR. You must also set the Digital Out setting in the Audio menu (go to page37).

Note: The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack has two options: OPTICAL and COAXIAL. Some Dolby Digital receivers have onetype of Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, optical and coaxial connections workequally well — the only difference is the type of cable you connect to the jack.

If you want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXIAL jack. Rarely, but sometimes, coaxialcables — especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference from household appliances, nearby powerlines, and/or broadcast towers.

If you would rather use the OPTICAL jack, connect an optical digital cable to the DVD/VCR and to the correspondingdigital optical input jack on the receiver.

3. Connect the video cable.

A. Basic video connection – Connect the video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO OUT jack on the back ofyour DVD/VCR player, and to the Video Input jack on your TV (sometimes labeled VIDEO IN).

B. S-Video (optional) – If your TV has an S-Video jack, connect an S-Video cable (not provided) tothe S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back of your DVD/VCR player and to the S-VIDEO jack on your TV.This connection is only for DVD signal. For the VCR signal, you must also connect the standardvideo cable.

C. Component video (optional, connection not pictured) – If your TV has component video jacks (Y,Pb, Pr), connect component video cables (not provided) to the COMPONENT OUT jacks on theDVD/VCR player for the best picture quality. This connection is only for DVD signal. For the VCRsignal, you must also connect the standard video cable.

4. Connect the AC power cord into an AC outlet.

3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.

Important Battery Information• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because

they can leak and cause damage.

• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.

• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if allbatteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to chargea battery not intended to be recharged.

• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.

Point the Remote in the Right Direction and Put it in DVD or VCR ModeWhen you want the remote to operate the DVD/VCR, point the remote at the DVD/VCR, not the TV. Theremote has to be pointed in the correct direction and toward the correct component in order for theremote control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clearpath between the remote control and the component you want to operate, so the signal isn’t blocked.

Turn on the TV and DVD/VCR1. Turn on your TV and tune it to the correct Video Input Channel.

• If you used a coaxial cable to connect your DVD/VCR to your TV, tune the TV to channel 3. YourTV must be set to channel 3 the first time you set up the DVD/VCR. See page 32 for instructionson how to change the output channel once you have started setup.

• If you used audio/video cables to connect your DVD/VCR, tune the TV to its Video Input Channel(see page 55 for help).

Handling Cautions• Before connecting other components to this player, be sure to turn all components off.

• Don’t move the player while a disc is being played. The disc may get scratched or broken, and theplayer’s internal parts may be damaged.

• Don’t put any container filled with liquid or any small metal objects on the player.

• Be careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.

• Don’t place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.

• Exterior influences such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal operation of thisplayer. If this occurs, turn the player off and on again, or disconnect and then reconnect the ACpower cord to the AC power outlet. The player will operate normally.

• Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.

Maintenance of CabinetFor safety reasons, when cleaning the cabinet be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the ACoutlet.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.• Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.

Formation of Condensation• Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes in

contact with any cold parts inside the player.• When condensation forms inside the player, the player may not operate correctly. If this occurs,

leave the player at room temperature until the inside of the player becomes dry and operational.• If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth by moving the cloth from the

center hole toward the outer edge.

Handling Discs• Don’t touch the disc’s signal surfaces. Hold by the edges or by one edge and the hole in the center.• Don’t affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Don’t scratch or damage the label.• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

Cleaning Discs• Dirty discs can cause reduced video and audio performance. Always keep discs clean by wiping

them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.

• If a disc becomes very dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well. Wipe the dirt away gently,and remove any water drops with a dry cloth.

• Do not use record-cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean the discs withbenzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.


Chapter 6 49


Back of the DVD/VCRWhen connecting, make sure you connect Output jacks to Input jacks, Video to Video, Right Audio toRight Audio, etc. A description of each jack follows.

Description of Jacks (from left to right)DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL and COAXIAL)

Use one of these jacks to connect your DVD/VCR to a receiver or decoder with Dolby Digital or DTScapability. Some receivers have either the COAXIAL or OPTICAL type of Digital Audio Input jack, andsome have both. Under most conditions, optical and coaxial connections work equally well — theonly difference is the type of cable you connect to the jack.

If you want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXIAL jack if yourreceiver has a COAXIAL input jack. Rarely, but sometimes, coaxial digital cables — especially longones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference from household appliances, nearby power lines, and/or broadcast towers.

OPTICAL - connect an optical cable (SPDIF) to the OPTICAL jack on the DVD/VCR and DigitalAudio Optical Input jack on your receiver.

COAXIAL - connect digital cable to this jack and to the Digital Audio Coaxial Input jack on yourreceiver. The cable is not a black coaxial cable, but an RCA-type cable.

AUDIO OUT— Use these jacks to connect your DVD/VCR to an audio/video receiver.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y, Pb, Pr) – Use these jacks to connect to a TV with component videoinput jacks. Unlike a single video input, component video maintains the video signal as threeseparate signals through these three jacks. This connection provides optimum quality. To ensuremaximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the Y, Pb, and Pr connections. It isessential to match the color-coded connectors with a compatible TV. This connection is only forDVD signal. For the VCR signal, you must also connect the standard video cable.

S-VIDEO OUT – If your TV has an S-VIDEO jack, connect an S-Video cable to the DVD/VCR’s S-VIDEO jack and to the TV’s S-Video jack to achieve better picture quality than using the VIDEO jack.S-Video only carries the picture, so you must connect the audio cables, as well. This connection isonly for DVD signal. For the VCR signal, you must also connect the standard video cable.

Explanation of Input Jacks and CablesThis section describes the jacks and cables you can use to make connections (only audio/video cablesare packed with your DVD/VCR — you can purchase cables by calling 1-800-338-0376, details are onpage 56 or order online at www.rca.com, or go to your local electronics store). There are several ways toconnect your DVD/VCR to your TV depending upon the cables you have and the jacks that are on theback of your TV.

Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance. It’s important to remember, we’retalking about degrees of picture improvement for comparison. If your TV has Component jacks (Y, Pb,Pr), S-VIDEO, and composite video (often color-coded yellow and grouped with Audio Left and Rightjacks that are white and red); Component (Y, Pb, Pr), would be considered excellent, S-Video would bevery good, and the composite video jack (yellow) would be considered good.

Component Video (Y, Pb, Pr) Jacks and CablesThe Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide optimum picture quality because the video is separated into three signals(two signals are dedicated to the color portion of the image, and the other signal is dedicated to theblack and white part of the image).

To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the connection. There are bundledcomponent video cables sold that are color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr jacks (red, green, and blue).Component Video Input jacks are usually found on Digital Televisions (HDTV).

Note: Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the Y, Pb, Pr jacks and cables carry only thepicture signal, not the sound.

S-Video Jacks and CablesThe S-Video (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than a composite video jack(sometimes labeled VIDEO and color-coded yellow) because S-Video keeps the color (chrominance, alsocalled chroma) part of the signal separate from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.

S-Video cables are designed to keep the color information separated. If your TV has an S-VIDEO jack,connect the DVD Player to the TV with an S-Video cable (not provided) for a better quality picture.

Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video cable carries only the picture signal,not the sound.

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

AudioThese jacks are used to send the audio from the disc you’re playing in the DVD/VCR to the TV. Theaudio jacks and cables are often color-coded (red for right audio, and white for left audio). You mustconnect audio cables to the AUDIO L and R jacks on the DVD/VCR and the corresponding AudioInput Jacks on the TV no matter which Video jack you connect (VIDEO; S-VIDEO; Y, Pb, Pr)

Note: If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack onthe TV and don’t connect the right audio part of the cable.

VideoThe basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) jack is also referred to as composite video.Composite video doesn’t keep color information separated (like S-Video), but it’s better than thevideo quality you get from an RF coaxial cable (the type used to plug the cable feed into a TV).
