Sockets and cables (outputs)

4 - Optical and coaxial Out sockets (DIGITAL AUDIO OUT)

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 parasitized by high frequency interferences caused by household electrical appliances, high voltage electric cables or radio transmitters.

5 - S-Video out socket (Y/C) (S-VIDEO OUT)

The S-Video cable provides a video signal of lower quality than the Peritel (Scart) socket. An S-Video signal however provides a better quality image than a composite video socket, because colour (C) is separated from black and white (Y) in the video signal.

Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because the S-Video cable transmits images and not sound.

6- Audio outputs (OUTPUT L, R)

The digital sound output from a disc being read is permanently available at the two audio sockets, L and R, of your DTH 8000. If you do not use the recommended Peritel (Scart) connection to the television (paragraph 3 page 3), you must, as well as one of the video connections (CVBS or S-VIDEO) connect the Audio outputs, L and R, of your DTH 8000 to the Audio inputs, L and R, of your television set (or amplifier).

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

7- Composite Video Out socket (CVBS) (OUTPUT COMPOSITE VIDEO) The yellow video socket is also called composite video, or CVBS.The image quality delivered by the video socket is the least good of all video connections. Only use this socket if all other sockets are already in use.
