Explanation of Jacks and Cables

There are several ways to connect your DVD Player to your TV depending upon the cables you have and the jacks that are on the back of your TV. Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance.The jacks on the back of your DVD Player and the cables used to connect them are explained below.

If you connect the DVD Player to a TV that is capable of progressive scanning the signal, you need to use the Y, Pb, Pr jacks and video cables. It is essential you turn the VIDEO SELECTION switch to the PROG. SCAN ONLY position. If you use S-VIDEO OUT or VIDEO OUT jacks for your connection, leave the switch in REGULAR CONNECTIONS position.

S-VIDEO OUT Jack and Cable

The S-VIDEO OUT (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than composite video (the VIDEO OUT jack) because the color is kept separate from the black and white part of the video signal. If your TV has an S-Video jack, connect the DVD Player to the TV with an S-Video cable.

Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the S-Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Component video jacks and cables are often color-coded (red, blue, and green).

The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide optimum picture quality because the video signal is separated into three parts.

To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables (yellow) for the connection.You can also buy bundled component video cables that are color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr jacks (red, green, and blue).

Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the component cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
