Video Jacks and Cables

VIDEO OUT Jack and Cable

The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as composite video. Composite video is better than the video quality you get from an RF coaxial cable (the type used to plug the cable feed into a TV). Usually the video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white and red).

S-VIDEO OUT Jack and Cable

S-VIDEO jack

S-Video cable

The S-VIDEO OUT (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than composite video (the VIDEO OUT jack) because the color is kept separate from the black and white part of the video signal. If your TV has an S-Video jack, connect the DVD Player to the TV with an S-Video cable.

Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the S-Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

T VIDEO OUT

Pr PbY

Component video jacks and cables are often color-coded (red, blue, and green).

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y, Pb, Pr) Jacks and Component Video Cables

The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide optimum picture quality because the video signal is separated into three parts.

To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables (yellow) for the connection.You can also buy bundled component video cables that are color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr jacks (red, green, and blue).

Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the component cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
