Connecting S-Video Devices

Many video devices that have composite video outputs also have S-Video outputs. S-Video uses a
single four-wire cable to transmit video information. Two of the wires are used to transmit video.
Because it splits the video signal into two components, S-Video generally provides higher quality
than composite video, but lower quality than component video and HDMI (see below).
Note: The pins used in S-Video connectors
are somewhat fragile. Take care to
avoid bending the pins, as a bent or
broken pin can cause loss of color
information or total signal loss.
To connect an S-Video source to the
display:
1. Using an S-Video cable, connect the S-
Video output on the source device to
the S-Video jack on the display.
2. Using two RCA cables, connect the
right (red) and left (white) audio
outputs on the source to the
corresponding jacks in the S-Video
block on the display.

Connecting Component Video Devices

High-quality video devices, such as HDTV
receivers and high-end DVD players, have
component video outputs. Component
video uses three RCA connections to
transmit video information. Because the
information is split into three signals,
component video offers higher quality
than composite video and S-Video.
To connect a component video source
to the display:
1. Using three RCA cables, connect the
three component video outputs to the
corresponding jacks in one of the two
component video blocks on the display.
2. Using two other RCA cables, connect
the right (red) and left (white) audio
outputs on the source to the
corresponding jacks in the same
component video block used above.
