About Using		If the optional equipment you are connecting has an S VIDEO
S VIDEO		jack (shown at left), you can use an S VIDEO cable for
		improved picture quality (compared to an A/V cable).
		Because S VIDEO carries only the video signal, you also need
		to connect audio cables for sound, as shown below.
