The most common and simplest connection is with a SCART cable
SCART (9) Both audio and video are transferred to the TV. Connect a SCART cable (not included)
between the SCART output on the DVD player and the TV’s SCART input.
• The cable transfers both audio and video.
• Select the TV’s AV channel.
• Press the V-MODE button on the remote to change the DVD player’s outgoing signal for
the best possible signal for your particular TV.
• For most users this type of installation will sufce.

Other connections
Besides the SCART cable the DVD player can be connected in several different ways. Below is a short
description of the different DVD signal formats.
Important. In the below example we use a TV for connecting the DVD player to but it works just as well to
connect the player to a projector, plasma TV or other video displaying equipment with similar connections.
Refer to your TV’s instruction manual about which signals and connections are possible for you to use.
We refer to different image qualities which are theoretical and can differ greatly in practice since the various
combinations of different products can give inconsistent results.
PAL and NTSC are different TV systems. NTSC is used mostly in the USA. PAL is normally used in
Western Europe.
Image quality can differ depending if the DVD is recorded in PAL or NTSC and if the DVD player is set to
PAL or NTSC.
Most TVs and DVDs in the Nordic countries are designed for PAL. This is preferable because this gives a
higher resolution than NTSC.
HDMI (3) – Digital connection for the transferring of audio and video. Connects the TV to the HDMI input.
Composite video (6) and L-R (1)(2) (analogue audio output).
The composite video output must be activated in the menu.
• Composite video signals (CVBS) can be handled by all TVs. The easiest solution is to use a SCART
cable since SCART is capable of transferring both video (composite video) and audio. Composite video
can even be sent by a separate cable from the DVD player’s composite video output on the back panel.
• The cable is connected to the equivalent input on the TV (normally Video In).
• Press the V-MODE button on the remote to change the DVD player’s outgoing signal for the best possible
signal for your particular TV.
S-VIDEO (7) and L-R (1)(2) (analogue audio output). S-video (Y/C) gives a higher image quality than
composite video and is preferable if your TV supports this type of signal. (Refer to your TV manual.)
• S-VIDEO is connected via a 4-pin mini-DIN (normally called an s-video contact). The DVD player’s
settings may possibly need to be changed in the menu in order to send an S-video signal.
• Press the V-MODE button on the remote in order to change the DVD player’s outgoing signal to S-VIDEO.
• N.B. If your TV does not support S-VIDEO the picture will be black and white.
Component video (5) and L-R (1)(2) (analogue audio output). Component video (YPbPr) is the highest
image quality that the DVD player can give and is preferred if your TV has support for component video.
The DVD player can send a component signal as interlace or as progressive scan. Refer to your TV manual
to see if interlace or progressive scan is supported.
• Component video signals uses the three RCA contacts on the DVD player’s back panel and is connected
to the equivalent input on the TV.
• Press the V-MODE button on the remote in order to change the DVD player’s outgoing signal between
interlace and progressive scan.
