(AUDIO R and L). In most cases these outputs offer a higher level of audio quality, including support for 5.1 surround sound.

If your equipment supports it, S-video connections may be used in place of the standard RCA video connections. In most cases, S-video offers a higher level of standard definition video quality than RCA video.
