Connecting the Video Output to your TV
In order to use this DVD player with your TV, a few cable connections are necessary. The capabilities of your TV will determine the
connections you can use. There are 3 possible connection types:
Composite Video - The most widely used connection.
S-Video - A higher quality connection that requires the provided S-Video connector and an S-Video capable TV.
Component Video - The highest quality video connection. Supported on high-end TVs (Required for Progressive Scan).
Composite Video (Typical connection)
Use the Composite/S - Video cable and Stereo Audio cable for connection to TVs with a standard video input as shown below. This is
the most widely used type of connection on TV's. The composite connector on your TV is normally colored yellow, and is normally
accompanied by stereo audio inputs, colored red and white for stereo channels right and left, respectively.

Important note for older TV models
If your TV does not have a composite video-in jack like that pictured above, you cannot connect this
unit directly. If this is the case, check to make sure your TV has at least a coaxial connector (used for
antenna/cable TV/VCR/etc.) such as that pictured to the right. If this is the case, you can use an RF
Modulator to convert this unit's video out to the coaxial connection on your TV. RF Modulators are
available at major electronics retailers.
