Setup and Connections
Before connecting your DVD 47, please:
■ Ensure that the power switch of this unit and
other equipment to be connected is set to off
before commencing connection.
■ Do not block ventilation holes of any of the
equipment and arrange them so that air can
circulate freely.
■ Read through the instructions before
connecting other equipment.
■ Ensure that you observe the color coding
when connecting audio and video cables.
For the best quality, if your receiver or processor
and/or video display are HDMI-capable, we rec-
ommend using the HDMI output. With a single
cable connection between components, HDMI is
able to deliver uncompressed high-definition
digital video and digital audio programming.
Note: If your video display has no HDMI but a
DVI input, you may use an optional HDMI-to-DVI
cable or adapter for the connection to the
display. In all cases, the video display must be
HDCP-compliant in order to use the HDMI
output.
If your equipment is not HDMI-ready, we
recommend the use of component video for
higher quality pictures.
For that case use the input jacks on the video
display marked “Component" or "Y/Pr/Pb" or
"Y/U/V".
If you are using a television or video display that
is compatible with 576p progressive component
video signals, make sure to configure the
display’s input settings for use with “576P”
video signals.
You will also need to change the scan type in
the DVD 47’s Video Setup menu from
“Interlaced” to “Progressive.” See page 19.
You may also use the standard S-video or
composite video connection if your TV does not
have component video inputs. The component
and S-video outputs are not available
simultaneously.
The Video output (yellow) combines the
complete video signal (composite) and sends it
to the TV (or to the AV Receiver) by one line
only. Use the Video output, when your TV set is
equipped with a Video input jack only.
The S (separate) video output connector
separates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals
before transmitting them to the TV set in order
to achieve a sharper picture. Use the S-video
cable when connecting the player to a TV
equipped with an S-video input for improved
picture clarity. Never connect both outputs,
Video and S-Video, to your TV or AV Receiver,
only one of them.
Most European TV´s are equipped with SCART
connectors rather than with a normal video
input (yellow cinch). In that case the SCART
connection should be used, providing the audio
signal too. Separate analog audio connections
to TV are needed only if your TV is connected to
the video or S-video output.
• Modern audio/video receivers are capable of
connection to several video source devices,
such as the DVD 47 and a VCR, cable
television set-top box, HDTV tuner or other
device. The receiver is equipped with video
monitor outputs for connection to your
television, projector or plasma display. As you
select any input source device, the receiver
selects the correct video input and routes it to
the correct video monitor output to your
television. It is recommended that you connect
one of the video outputs from the DVD 47 to
the corresponding input on your receiver to
simplify operation of your home entertainment
system. Refer to the owner’s guide for your
receiver for more information.
• If your receiver is capable of multiroom opera-
tion, it is recommended that you connect both
the component (or HDMI) and composite
video outputs of the DVD 47 to the receiver.
This enables the highest-quality picture (com-
ponent video) for viewing in the main listening
room, while enabling the multiroom system, if
it is video-capable, to distribute the composite
video signal to the remote zone. Consult the
owner’s guide for your receiver to determine
whether it has video multiroom capability.
Connecting to a TV Only
When using the DVD 47 with a television but no
audio receiver or processor, connect it as follows.
Make the Analog Audio Connection A and
one of the Video Connections (Composite
Video B, S-Video C, Component Video
D) or use the Scart Connection F,
providing the audio signal too. If your television
or video display is HDMI-capable, you only need
to make the HDMI E connection, as it handles
both audio and video. Remember to plug in the
power cord.
