Connecting Your DVD Player

Jacks and Cables

S-Video Jack and Cable (S-VHS)
The S-Video jack provides the best picture quality for your DVD
player. This jack is available on many TVs and is used in
conjunction with audio cables to connect the DVD player to
your TV.
Remember also to connect the left and right audio cables
because the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not
the sound.
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo
sound quality, and should be used if your TV has no S-Video
jack.
These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between
components. The DVD audio/video jacks are color coded (yellow
for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). If your
TV has only one input for audio (mono), you may need a
Y-adaptor to combine sound from both channels.
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)
You may not need coaxial cables to connect the DVD player to
your TV, but you may need to use coaxial cables to carry the
cable, satellite, or off-air signal to your television.
Optical Cable (for Connecting to a Dolby Digital Receiver)
If you own a Dolby Digital receiver that uses an optical cable-
type input, you can use an optical cable to connect the DVD
player to that receiver to get the best sound quality.
RF Output Adaptor
If your television has only an RF input jack, you will need to
use an RF output adaptor (not included) to convert the line
output signal to an RF signal.
