Connecting—Continued

Connecting a Standard TV

This section shows how to connect the DV-SP1000/ DV-SP1000E to a standard TV, in which the TV handles both the video and audio. If your TV has a Dolby Pro Logic decoder built-in, you’ll be able to enjoy DVDs that bear the Dolby Surround logo.

To fully enjoy the Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks available on most DVD-Video discs, or the multichannel audio of DVD-Audio and SACD, you need a suitable AV receiver (see page 36).

The DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E has three types of video output for use with standard TVs: component video, S-Video, and composite video.

Component video offers the best picture quality, so if your TV supports it, use a commercially available com- ponent video cable to connect the DV-SP1000/ DV-SP1000E’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT to the component video input on your TV. If your TV supports progressive scanning, you must use a component video connection to take advantage of it.

If you don’t have component video, S-Videooffers bet- ter picture quality than composite video, so if your TV supports it, use the supplied S-Video cable to connect the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E’s S VIDEO VIDEO OUT to an S-Video input on your TV. Failing that, use the sup- plied composite video cable to connect the DV-SP1000/ DV-SP1000E’s VIDEO VIDEO OUT to a composite video input on your TV.
