To simplify making connections, the con- nectors on audio and video cables are often color coded to match the colors on TV jacks: green for Y, blue for Pb, and red for Pr; also red for right audio, and white for left audio.

The names for the component video jacks may differ depending on the DVD player or accessory digital source equipment used. For example, besides YPbPr, you may see R-Y/B-Y/Y; or CrCbY. Although abbrevia- tions and terms may vary, the letters B and R stand for the blue and red color compo- nent signal connectors, respectively, and Y indicates the luminance signal. If necessary, refer to the user manual for your DVD or digital accessory for more information.

If you experience difficulties receiving sound with a DVD disc, check the sound settings through the DVD disc’s menu.
