Using other types of video output

This player has standard (composite), S-video and component video outputs. 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.

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).

1Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO OUTPUT 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.

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.
