Explanation of Jacks and Cables

There are several ways to connect your DVD Player to your TV depending upon the cables you
have and the jacks that are on the back of your TV. Different jacks and cables provide a
different level of performance. The jacks on the back of your DVD Player and the cables used
to connect them are explained below.

To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the
connection. There are bundled component video cables sold that are color-
coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr jacks (red, green, and blue).
Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the component cable carries
only the picture signal, not the sound.
S-VIDEO OUT Jacks and Cables
The S-Video (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than
composite video because the color is kept separate from the black and
white part of the video signal. If your TV has an S-VIDEO jack, connect the
DVD Player to the TV with an S-Video cable.
Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the S-Video cable carries
only the picture signal, not the sound.
