Connecting the DPC-7.7—Continued
This section explains how to connect the DPC-7.7 to
your TV or projector.
In this hookup example, the TV handles the audio and video.
To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS (5.1-channel surround),
you’ll need a compatible decoder (see page 19).
The DPC-7.7 has three types of video output: component
video, S-Video, and composite video. Component video
offers the best picture quality, so if your TV supports it, use
a commercially available component video cable to con-
nect the DPC-7.7’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT to
the component video inputs on your TV. If your TV sup-
ports progressive scanning, you must use component video
in order to take advantage of that feature.
S-Video offers better picture quality than composite
video, so if your TV supports it, use the S-Video cable to
connect the DPC-7.7’s S VIDEO OUTPUT to an S-Video
input on your TV. Failing that, use the supplied composite
video cable to connect the DPC-7.7’s VIDEO OUTPUT
to a composite video input on your TV.
Compatibility of this unit with progressive-scan TVs.
This player is compatible with progressive video Macro
Vision System Copy Guard.

Notes:
• Before making any connections, turn off the DPC-7.7
and your TV and disconnect their power cords from
the wall outlets.
• Also refer to the connection information supplied with
your TV.
• If you connect a TV that does not support progressive
scanning to the component video output, change the
HDMI Output Setting to Off (see page 46).
• Connect the DPC-7.7’s video outputs directly to your
TV. Don’t connect a VCR or other video equipment in
between your DPC-7.7 and TV. Doing so may result in
picture distortion, because of the copy protection sys-
tem used on DVD-Video discs.
• When you use the analog audio outputs, don’t play
DTS CDs or don’t select DTS soundtracks on
DVD-Video discs. Doing so will produce unpleasant
digital noise, which may damage your equipment.
• If your TV or projector has BNC component video
inputs, use a BNC component video cable to connect
them to the DPC-7.7’s BNC component video outputs.
