Connecting the DV-CP704—Continued

Connecting Your TV or Projector

This section explains how to connect the DV-CP704 to your TV or projector.

In this hookup example, the TV handles the audio and video. To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS (5.1-channel surround), you’ll need a compatible decoder (see page 19).

The DV-CP704 has three types of video output: compo- nent video, S-Video, and composite video. Component video offers the best picture quality, so if your TV supports it, use a commercially available component video cable to connect the DV-CP704’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT- PUT to the component video inputs on your TV. If your TV supports progressive scanning, you must use compo- nent video in order to take advantage of that feature. S-Video offers better picture quality than composite video, so if your TV supports it, use the S-Video cable to connect the DV-CP704’s S VIDEO OUTPUT to an S-Video input on your TV. Failing that, use the supplied

composite video cable to connect the DV-CP704’s VIDEO OUTPUT to a composite video input on your TV.

Notes:

Before making any connections, turn off the DV-CP704 and your TV and disconnect their power cords from the wall outlets.

Also refer to the connection information supplied with your TV.

If you connect a TV that does not support progressive scanning to the component video output, change the HDMI Output Setting to Off (see page 44).

Connect the DV-CP704’s video outputs directly to your TV. Don’t connect a VCR or other video equip- ment in between your DV-CP704 and TV. Doing so may result in picture distortion, because of the copy protection system used on DVD-Video discs.

When you use the analog audio outputs, don’t play DTS CDs or don’t select DTS soundtracks on DVD-Video discs. Doing so will produce unpleasant digital noise, which may damage your equipment.
