Explanation of Jacks and Cables

Your can connect other components to your TV/DVD player such as a VCD, video camera or audio receiver. There are several ways to connect your other components to your TV/DVD player depending upon the cables you have and the jacks that are on the back of the components. Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance. The jacks on the back of your TV/DVD Player and the cables used to connect them are explained below.

 

Video Jacks and Cables

 

VIDEO Jack and Cable

 

The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as composite video.

 

Composite video is better than the video quality you get from an RF coaxial cable (the type used

to plug the cable feed into a TV). Usually the video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white

and red).

S-VIDEO Jack and Cable

The S-VIDEO(separate video) jack provides better picture quality than composite video (the VIDEO jack) because the color is kept separate from the black and white part of the video signal.

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

Audio Jacks and Cables

AUDIO L (left) and R (right)

These jacks send the audio from other components to the TV. The audio jacks and cables are often color-coded (red for right audio, and white for left audio). You must connect audio cables to the AUDIO L and R jacks on the TV/DVD Player and the corresponding Audio Input Jacks on the component no matter which Video jack you connect (VID1 (SVID), DVD, FRONT).

Note: If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect the right audio part of the cable.
