Connections and initial set up

RCA sockets and

cables for Y, Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr

Video signals, also called Component.

5 - Composite Video Outputs (Y, Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr) (YUV)

The Y, Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr sockets deliver an optimum image quality due to the separation of the video signal into three separate components (comparable with RGB separation in a Scart-Peritel cable).

Note: the available video signal on these 3 sockets depends on the selection made at the rear (1H or 2H) of your player (page 16). The available signal can be Y, Cb, Cr (1H) for a progressive interlaced or Y, Pr, Pb (2H) for a non interlaced progressive signal (no frame interleave).

In order to obtain the best possible image quality, always use very high quality cables for the connections.Your dealer can provide YUV cables that are sold together and come in the standard colour codes (red, green and blue) used for these types of sockets and cables.

Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because Component cables only transmit images, and not sound.

Ushiden socket and cable for Y/C Video signal, also called S-Video.

6 - S-Video Input and Output

S-Video input (Y/C) (S-VIDEO IN)

The S-Video signal is of a lesser quality than that of the RGB signal supplied by the Peritel (Scart) socket. An S-Video signal however provides a better quality image than a composite Video (CVBS) socket, because colour (C) is separated from black and white (Y) in the video signal.

Note: do not forget to connect the audio cables since the S-Video cable transmits only images, not sound.

S-Video out socket (Y/C) (S-VIDEO OUT)

The S-Video cable provides a video signal of lower quality than the Peritel (Scart) socket. An S-Video signal however provides a better quality image than a composite Video (CVBS) socket, because colour (C) is separated from black and white (Y) in the video signal.

Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because the S-Video cable transmits images and not sound.

7 - Optical Audio Output (digital sound)

The digital sound of a DVD Video disk when played is permanently available on the optical socket of your player. Use this socket by connecting it to a decoder or Dolby Digital amplifier or DTS.

8 - Digital Audio Video outputs

The HDMI socket permanently delivers very high quality digital sound and pictures.This connection is strongly recommended with a digital television which is fitted with the same socket and is compatible.
