Component video output connectors (Y, CB, CR)
The component video output connector outputs the color dif- ference signals (CB, CR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
ÁThe description of the component video input connectors may differ depending on the TV set or monitor (e.g. Y, PB, PR/ Y,
S video output connector
The S video output connector separates the color (C) and lu- minance (Y) signals before transmitting them to the TV set in order to achieve a sharper picture.
Use the S video cable (optional) when connecting the player to a TV set equipped with an S video input connector for the best picture clarity possible.
Notes when connecting the optical digital audio cable
(optional)
ÁRemove the dust protection cap from the optical digital audio output connector and connect the cable firmly so that the configurations of both the cable and the connector match.
ÁKeep the dust protection cap and, to protect against dust, al- ways reattach the cap when not using the connector.

ÁLinear PCM is a signal recording format used in a CD. While a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.
ÁIf you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD mov- ies that provide full
Caution for the optical/coaxial digital audio output connector:
ÈWhen connecting an amplifier (with an optical/ coaxial digital input connector) which contains the Dolby Digital decoder or dts decorder
ÁBe sure to select “Bitstream” both at “2 Dolby Digi- tal” and “3 dts” of the initial setting “7 Digital Audio Output”. (See page 38.)
ÈWhen connecting an amplifier (with an optical/ coaxial digital input connector) which does not contain the Dolby Digital decoder or dts de- coder
ÁBe sure to select “PCM” at “2 Dolby Digital” and “Off” at “3 dts” of the initial setting “7 Digital Audio Output”. (See page 38.)
ÁOtherwise any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
ÁVideo CDs and CDs can be played as they would normally be played.
