Answer
I could not find an on-line manual for your player. Usually there are two possible ways to turn off progressive scan: either there is a switch on the back of the player, or there is a place in the setup menu to select progressive or interlace. However, most players output progressive scan only on their component (Y, Pr, Pb) connectors. If you use s-video or composite, you should get interlace output.

I have 5 speakers in my new flat and I want to connect my DVD player to it.?

The previous owner obviously had a surround sound setup with a woofer and 4 speakers around the corners of the room. My DVD player has 5 audio R/C jacks but when I hook them up to a speaker it is very quiet. Now I looked at prices of A/V recievers and they are 10 X more expensive than a DVD and 5 speakers cost. Is this the only way I can connect them up using a reciever device?
Answer
As others have said, YES. you need a surround amplifier (or receiver) to take the low level signal from the DVD player and "amplify" it to drive speakers. You need a model designated as a "5.1" ... i.e. one with 5 amplifier channels for the front right and left, center, and rear speakers, and an RCA output for a subwoofer. BTW, I suspect the 5 wires are for the normal speakers, not the subwoofer.
You can buy an adequate receiver (i.e. amp plus radio tuber in one unit) or amplifier new for under $200 (See link for one recommended choice), or simply look on Craigslist or other site for used equipment. You should have no trouble finding a 5.1 receiver for under $100. And any model will work fine since connections are standardized. Plan to use an optical or digital coax cable to connect the DVD player to the receiver ... so make sure the one you find has at least one input of that type.
