Explanation of Input Jacks and Cables

This section describes the jacks and cables you can use to make connections (some of the cables may not provided with your DVD player). There are several ways to connect components to your DVD player.

Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance (this book categorizes these levels as Excellent, Very Good, and Good). It’s important to remember, we’re talking about degrees of picture improvement for comparison. If your component has component video, S- VIDEO, composite video (VIDEO, AUDIO Left and Right); component video would be considered excellent, S-Video would be very good, and composite video woud be good.

Component Video Cables and Jacks

S-Video Cable and Jack

Component Video (Y PB PR) Jacks and Cables— Excellent Video Quality

The Y PB PR jacks allow you to connect to a TV that has Component or progressive scan video jacks. This connection provides optimum picture quality because the video is separated into three signals. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the connection.

Note: Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the Y PB PR jacks and cables carry only the picture signal, not the sound.

S-Video Jack and Cable — Very Good Video Quality

The S-Video (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than the regular video jacks (labeled INPUT1 VIDEO; INPUT2 VIDEO; INPUT3 VIDEO) because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the signal is separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.

If your TV has an S-VIDEO jack, connect the player to the TV with an S-Video cable for a better quality picture.

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

Digital Audio Out Cable and Jack

Digital Audio Out Jack and Optical Cable — Excellent Audio Quality

The optical cable is used to connect a Dolby Digital receiver. If you own a Dolby Digital receiver that uses an optical cable-type input, you can use an optical cable for the best sound quality.

Note: This DVD player’s optical digital output jack fully complies with the international standard governing this type of jack (IEC958), and is designed for connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3®or PCM) receiver or Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM) decoder. Older equipment, some of which is not fully compliant with IEC958, may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection using anything other than Dolby Digital AC-3 or PCM receiver or decoder could create a high noise level, causing damage to headphones or speakers.

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type) — Very Good Video and Audio

These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components. The audio/video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). This is also called composite video.

Note: If components you are connecting to have only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack and don’t connect the right audio part of the cable.
