Coectios ad Setup 3

Explaatio o Jacks ad Cables

You can connect other components to your TV/DVD player such as a VCR, video camera, or audio receiver. Thereare several ways to connect other components to your TV/DVD player depending upon the cables you haveand the jacks that are on the back o the components. Dierent jacks and cables provide a dierent level operormance. The jacks on the back o your TV/DVD Player and the cables used to connect them are explainedbelow.

Note: If you do not connect a cable, antenna, or another component to your TV, the TV will automatically shut off after15 minutes to save power.

VIDEO Jack ad CableThe basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also reerred to as

composite video. Composite video is better than the video quality you get roman RF coaxial cable (the type used to plug the cable eed into a TV). Usually thevideo cable is bundled with the audio cables (color-coded white and red).

S-VIDEO Jack ad CableThe S-VIDEO (separate video) jack provides better picture quality thancomposite video (the VIDEO jack) because the color is kept separate rom theblack and white part o the video signal.

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

AUDIO L (let) ad R (riht) Jacks ad CablesThese jacks are used or audio connections o other components to the TV. Theaudio jacks and cables are oten color-coded (red or right audio, and white orlet audio). You must connect audio cables to the AUDIO L and R jacks on theTV/DVD player and the corresponding jacks on the component no matter which

Video jack [AV1 (SVID), DVD, AV3 (side ront)] you connect.

Note: If your component has only one audio output for audio (mono), connect it tothe left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and dont connect the right audio partof the cable.

Recommedatios ad Iormatio Coceri Discs

CD-R ad CD-RW DiscsThis player can play most CD-R and CD-RW discs. However, depending on the type o disc and recording

method used, some discs might not play, or the perormance might not meet the expected quality. Whenplaying a CD-R disc, it is completely normal or the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc beoreit plays. I the disc is not recognized ater a period o 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it again. Iater several trials, the disc cannot be recognized, make sure you have ollowed the recommendations belowor try another type o disc.

Do not ll the disc to its maximum recording capacity.

Use CD-R discs rather than CD-RW (re-recordable CDs), as replay o CD-RWs maysometimes not work properly.

Use a reliable and good quality recording sotware.

Beore recording on a disc, close all applications on your personal computer in order tooptimize the quality and reliability o recordings on the disc.

CD-R ad CD-RW Discs with mp3 Format Music FilesFor discs that include mp3 les, ollow the general recommendations or CD-R and CD-RW discs, and also theollowing specic recommendations:

The ormat o your mp3 les should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET. These les are compatiblewith DOS and Windows applications as well as with Mac applications.

Your mp3 les must have a name no longer than 12 characters as well as the sux.mp3. They must be recorded in the orm: title.mp3. Ensure that you do not leave spacesor use special characters such as ( . , / , \ , = ,+) in the name.

Do not attempt to record protected mp3 les. Such les are coded and protected.

Use a decompression transer rate o at least 128 kb/sec (kilobytes/second) whenrecording mp3 les. Sound quality with mp3 les basically depends on the rate ocompression/ decompression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an

analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to mp3 ormat, o at least 128 kb/secand up to 160 kb/sec.

Choosing higher rates, like 192 kb/sec. or more, only rarely gives better sound quality.

Conversely, les with sampling rates below 128 kb/sec will not be played properly.Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play mp3 recordings,or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods for mp3 file recording onCD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (that is degraded sound quality and even, in somecases, inability of the player to read the file or files).
