Connecting the video output to your TV
In order to use this DVD player, you will need to make a video connection to your TV. The capabilities of your TV and the cables you
have on hand will determine the connections you can use. There are 3 possible connection types:
Composite Video - The most widely used connection. This unit includes an A/V cable for Composite Video.
S-Video - A higher quality connection that requires a special S-Video cable and an S-Video capable TV.
Component Video - The highest quality video connection. Supported on high-end TVs and requires a special cable.
Composite Video (Typical connection)
This unit ships with a composite video (A/V) cable for connection to TVs with a standard video input as shown below. This is the
most widely used type of connection. On most TVs, this connector is colored yellow, and is normally accompanied by stereo audio
inputs, colored red and white for stereo channels right and left, respectively.

First, use the supplied A/V cable to connect to the
composite video input on your TV. This is normally a
yellow-colored connector that matches the Video output
on the back of this unit. If you wish to hear sound
through the TV, connect the red and white stereo audio
connections as well.

Important note for older TV models
If your TV does not have a composite video-in jack like that pictured above, you cannot connect this
unit directly. If this is the case, check to make sure your TV has at least a coaxial connector (used for
antenna/cable TV/VCR/etc.) such as that pictured to the right. If this is case, you can use a RF
Modulator to convert this unit's video out to the coaxial connection on your TV. RF Modulators are
available at major electronics retailers.
