What Type of Video Connection Do You Have?

There are three ways that your DVD-Player can be connected to your TV orother video display devices:

Composite- RCA-A/V Connection

S-Video (Super Video)This type of connection is common with more recent models of TV s. S-Videoconnections significantly increase the quality of the video signal compared to

an RCA A/V connection. This results in improved color reproduction and a

reduction in video noise that is common with other types of videoconnections.

This type of connection is common with most TV s. An RCA A/V connectorcable is included with your T342 DVD Player. It provides less video andsound quality than S-Video or Component Output connections, but it stillprovides a good signal. The connectors on this cable are red/white (audio)and yellow (video).

An S-Video connector cable is not included with your DVD Player, but S-Videoconnector cables are available in most home electronic stores.

Check your television or video display device to see which type of video

connection it supports. The following instructions will guide you in settingup the type of video connection you choose.

Component Video OutputComponent Video Output connections are for use with high quality TV s, suchas Plasma screen models, and other advanced video display devices. Itprovides near-perfect digital picture.

Output connections can only be used when there is a dedicated ComponentInput on the TV or video display device. A Component Video connector cable

is not included with your DVD Player, but Component Video Output cables areavailable in most home electronic stores. The Component Video connectorcable has three separate video cables: green, blue, and red.


Video Connection

What Type of Audio Connection Do You Have?

The T342 DVD Player provides multi-channel sound for a total home cinemaexperience. If you own a home theater speaker system, this multi-channelsound (front left and right, center, back left and right, and sub-woofer)

produces sound from 5 or more speakers spread around your room to

produce amazing sound effects.

There are three different types of audio connections available:

Direct Audio Connection to your TV

If your TV has RCA A/V inputs, the red (right) and white (left) cable inputsprovide the stereo sound to your TV. Refer to the RCA A/V Video connectionillustration on the previous page.

If your TV offers only one audio input, you would use only the white plug on

the RCA A/V cable to provide mono sound through both speakers.

If you don't own a home theater speaker system, you can still enjoy high

quality sound through your TV or stereo speakers, but the sound quality will

be in stereo (left and right audio signals only).

27

Direct Audio Connection to your Stereo Receiver (Stereo Sound)If your stereo receiver has an available RCA A/V input then you will be able to connect to the DVDPlayer. If your stereo receiver is close enough to your TV then you can use the same RCA A/V cableused to make the video connection from your DVD Player to your TV.

If you do not have sufficient length on the RCA A/V cable used to make the video connection from your DVD Player to your TV, then you will need to use an additional cable.

Direct Audio Connection to your Stereo Receiver (Dolby Digital 2 / 5.1 Sound)Dolby Digital 2 / 5.1 Sound provides higher clarity and expanded audio features because it supports

multiple audio channels (not just Right and Left as with Stereo signals) within a single digital signal.

This type of connection requires a stereo receiver with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder that will acceptthe multi-channel digital signal. If your stereo receiver supports a Dolby Digital 2 or 5.1 connection,then you will need to use a Coaxial Digital Connection cable (not included).

Check your television or stereo receiver to see which type of audio connection it supports. The instructions below will guide you in setting up the type of audio connection you choose.

Viewing Images

What is JPEG?

JPEG

is a widely used file format for still image compression. Files such as

photographs, drawings, and most clip-art can be saved this way, greatly

reducing a files size (loss of quality varies). Most digital cameras record

images as JPEG files. JPEG files can be recorded onto a CD for viewing on this

DVD player, a computer, or the web.

Viewing an image:

NORMAL SLIDE SHOW PRESENTATION : When a JPEG disc is loaded into the

player, a menu will appear on screen. From the Play Mode shown on the

menu, select the FOLDER option using the direction keys. Each picture in the

current directory will be displayed consecutively in a slideshow presentation

and will be automatically displayed using the largest size that fits your

television screen. Sixteen slideshow "transition" modes are provided. Use

the program button to select one.

What is Progressive Scan?Progressive scanning, otherwise known as 480P (p=progressive), creates a picturesignal with double the scan lines of a conventional interlaced picture, 480I (I=interlaced), to create a noticeably sharper image. The 480P image offers higher picture resolution and eliminates virtually all motion artifacts. Even on large screens, the progressive scan lines are barely noticeable and picture flickering is greatly reduced, so you can enjoy extended viewing without eye fatigue. (Our deluxe DVD model is progressive scan compatable.)

Angle

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which

have been simultaneously shot from a number

of different angles (the same scene is shot from

the front, from the left side, from the right side,

etc) With such discs, the ANGLE button can be

used to view the scene from different angles.

Chapter Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title

is subdivided into many sections, each of which is

numbered, and specific parts of video present-

ations can be searched quickly by using these

numbers.

DVD

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which

high-quality pictures and sound have been rec-

orded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a

new video compression technology (MPEG 2) and

high-density recording technology, DVD enables

aesthetically pleasing full-motion video to be

recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a

whole movie can be recorded. ) DVD has a struc-

ture consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs that are

adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc,

the higher the density at which the information can

be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity

than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin

discs are adhered to each other, there is the pot-

ential to achieve double-sided play sometime in

the future for even longer duration play.

Subtitles

These are the printed lines at the bottom of the

screen that translate or transcribe the dialogue.

They are recorded on DVD discs.

Time number

This indicates the playing time that has elapsed

from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to

find a specific scene quickly. (It may not work with

some discs.)

Title Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When

a disc contains two or more movies, these movies

are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

CSS

the data scrambling method used to garble the

content of a DVD disc. According to most sources,

CSS was put into use for the purpose of ensuring

that copyrighted material placed in this format

would only be usable with licensed DVD playback

mechanisms.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is an advanced form of digital audio

coding that makes it possible to store and transmit

high-quality digital sound far more efficiently than

was previously possible. First used in movie thea-

ters in 1992, it is the result of decades spent by

Dolby Laboratories developing signalprocessing

systems that exploit the characteristics of human

hearing.

Dolby Digital 5.1 Channel

At the option of their producers, Dolby Digital

programs can deliver surround sound with two

discrete range channels-left and right.CSS stands for "Content Scramble System". It is
