Sockets and cables

There are several ways in which you can incorporate your DVD player into an Audio-Video system.The simplest of these is described on page 3.This uses Scart-Peritel cables that combine Audio analogue connections for sound, and Video for the RGB image.This connection ensures the optimum image quality (like Y, Pr, Pb). If you cannot use Scart-Peritel sockets, the explanations on this and the following page should enable to you to choose the method of connection best suited to the sockets and appliances you have. Sound and image quality depend to a large extent on the types of connections used.

Audio sockets and cables (for sound)

1- Audio Out L / R

Analogue sound of a disc being played is permanently available on the two L and R sockets on your player. If you do not use the recommended Scart- Peritel connection to the TV set (paragraph 1 on page 3), you must, in addition to one of the video connections (CVBS ; S-VIDEO ;Y, Pr, Pb) described on page 5, connect the Audio Out L / R sockets on your DVD player of your TV set (or amplifier) to the Audio In L / R sockets.

Note: audio sockets and cables are usually identified by a colour code (red for the left channel and white for the right channel).

2 - Optical and coaxial Out sockets

The digital sound of a disc being played is permanently available on the optical and coaxial sockets of your player. Use one of these sockets by connecting it to a decoder or a DTS or Dolby Digital amplifier. Some of these appliances are equipped with a coaxial In socket (COAXIAL) or an optical In socket (OPTICAL), while others are equipped with both sockets. Choose one of the two connections.

Note: In most cases these two types of connection give similar results; the only difference lies in the type of cable used and the cost of these cables, the coaxial cable being the least expensive one to buy. However it sometimes happens that some coaxial cables are parasitised by high frequency interference caused by household electrical appliances, high voltage electric cables or radio transmitters.
