If your television does not have AUDIO/VIDEO terminals, an RF modulator is
necessary. Consult your local dealer for more information.

DVD-Video:
You can play DVD-Video multi channel surround by digitally connecting an
amplifier equipped with a Dolby Digital and a DTS decoder.

You cannot directly connect to the unit. Connect through the amplifier, etc.
•
We recommend the COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminal. Component signal
outputs the color difference signals (P
separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors. If the
television is compatible with progressive output, a high quality picture can be
output because this unit's component video output terminal outputs a
progressive output signal.
