Connection to a television
This page explains how to connect the unit to a television and set it up so you hear the audio through the television’s speakers. To get the full benefit from
the powerful 5.1-channel audio found on DVDs, you should connect an amplifier and six speakers (➡

≥Disconnect the AC power supply cord.
≥Refer to the television’s operating instructions.

S VIDEO OUT terminal

The S-video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO
OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y)
signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal

Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference sig-
nals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to a chieve
high fidelity in reproducing colors.
≥The description of the component video input terminals depends
on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).
Connect to terminals of the same color.
