Using other types of video output

This player has standard (composite), S-video and component video outputs, as well as an HDMI connector (for digital video/audio). The main difference between them is the quality of the picture.

S-video delivers a better picture than standard composite video, while component video gives better picture quality still. The variety of outputs also gives you the flexibility of connecting your particular equipment using the best connection type available.

HDMI provides highest quality digital video (and audio) using one simple digital connection, provided your monitor or display is also equipped with HDMI. See Connecting using HDMI on page 21 for more on this.

•DV-668AV only – When an HDMI device is connected, there is no output from the composite, S-video, or component video jacks (only during NTSC disc playback).

Connecting using an S-Video output

You can use the S-Video output instead of the VIDEO OUT jack to connect this player to your TV (or other equipment).

•Use an S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-Video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver. Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the plug before plugging in.

•If you connect both S-video jacks, but one of the connected components is not S1/ S2 compatible, the automatic aspect ratio switching will not work with either connected component.

Connecting using the AV connector output

If your TV has a SCART-type AV input, you can use a SCART cable to connect this player to your TV. This type of connection carries both the sound and the picture, so there’s no need to connect up the AUDIO OUT L/R and

VIDEO OUT jacks.

•Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the AV CONNECTOR 1 (RGB)-TV/ AV Receiver to an AV input on your TV.
