- Connect Audio: Connect the white (left audio) and red (right audio) RCA plugs of the A/V cable to the "AUDIO OUT" ports on the rear of the DVD player and the corresponding "AUDIO IN" ports on your television or audio receiver. For digital audio, connect a coaxial digital audio cable from the "DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL)" port on the DVD player to a compatible input on your audio receiver.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
- Insert Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the remote control and insert the two AA batteries provided, ensuring correct polarity.
