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.
