To prevent damage to circuits, never short-circuit the speaker output terminals.

For a higher quality picture, purchase an S-Video cable, or for the best picture quality,
purchase a component video cable.

Protection). HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received.

Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices may not
operate property with the DVD Home Theater System.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or
