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.

RCA sockets and

cables for Y, Pr, Pb Video

signals, also called

Component.

Ushiden socket and cable forY/C Video signal, also called S-Video.

RCA socket and cable for CVBS Video signal, also called Composite.

VIDEO sockets and cables (for image)

1- Component output (Y, Pr, Pb)

YPrPb sockets deliver an optimum image quality due to the separation of the video signal into three separate components (comparable with RGB separation in a Scart-Peritel cable).

Note: the video signal available from these 3 sockets depends on the choice made in the Display menu (page 29) or that carried out using the PREV/video key on the front of your player (page 8). The available signal may be,YUV for an interlaced progressive signal,or Y, Pr, Pb for a truly progressive signal (no frame interlacing).

In order to obtain the best possible image quality, always use very high quality cables for the connections.Your dealer can provide Y, Pr, Pb cables that are sold together and come in the standard colour codes (red, green and blue) used for these types of sockets and cables.

Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because Component cables only transmit images, and not sound.

2 - S-Video out socket (Y/C)

The S-Video socket delivers a lower quality video signal than component sockets. An S-Video signal however provides a better quality image than a composite video socket, because colour (C) is separate 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.

3- Composite Video Out socket (CVBS)

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.
