Types of Jacks and Cables

Types of Jacks and Cables
Before deciding which method to connect the DVD player, take
a moment to familiarize yourself with the different types of
jacks and cable.
S-Video Jack and Cable (S-VHS)
The S-Video jack provides excellent picture quality for your
DVD player. This jack is available on many TVs. Because the
S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, and not the sound,
you'll also need to connect the left and right audio cables.
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. Each jack is 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 (not included) 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.
Digital Cable
If you own a Dolby Digital receiver with a digital coaxial input,
you can use that cable to connect the DVD player to that
receiver to get the best sound quality.
RF Modulator
If your television has only an RF input jack, you will need to
use an RF modulator (not included) to convert the line output
signal to an RF signal.
