Component Video Connections

3 Connecting to a TV with Component Video Inputs

Component Video separates the Video Signal into three separate “components”, resulting in a higher quality picture than S-Video or Standard Composite Video. In order to use Component Video, you must use a TV equipped with Component Video Inputs. You’ll also need (3) Component Video Cables (not included) and a Composite (included) or S-Video Cable used for setup only.

Step 1: Connect the DVD Player using the Composite or S-Video Connection

In order to Switch your DVD Player’s Video Output to Component Video, you must first connect using the Composite or S-Video Connectors. This will allow you to use the player’s Setup Menu to change the Video Output Setting. For details, see page 13. Once you see the player’s splash screen on your TV, proceed to Step 2.

For Help on Using the Setup Menu, see pg 37.

Step 2: Enter the Setup Menu to Change the Video Setting

With disc play stopped, press the SETUP button on the Remote Control to enter the DVD Player’s On-Screen Setup Menu. Use the ARROW keys to navigate down to the VIDEO menu and press ENTER. Use the ARROW keys to proceed down to the OUTPUT setting. Press ENTER. Use the UP/DOWN keys to select YCbCr. Press ENTER to confirm your choice. You will now see the video disappear as the player switches to YCbCr Component Output.

Step 3: Connect the DVD Player using the Component Video Cables

At this point, turn off the TV and DVD Player and unhook the Composite or S-Video cable used so far. Connect the separate Component Video Cables to the appropriate jacks. Normally, cables and jacks are color-coded to make connection easier. Power on the DVD Player and TV and set your TV to the Video In Channel associated with the Component Video inputs (“Video 3”, “Input 3”, etc.) You should now see the DVD Player splash screen on your TV.
