Connecting Your Equipment

Video Components

Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. Regarding a DVD there are two types of
connections to make. Hook up your video signal with either component video, S-video, or composite video cords
(the quality descends in this order) but remember, the video component you are watching and your TV must be
hooked up with same type of video cord or you won't be able to see the picture. For the audio signal, order to use
Dolby Digital/DTS you must hook up a digital input. It is also a good idea to hook up your DVD components with
analog audio connections as well, since some DVDs may not have a digital audio track. To cover all possible
LaserDiscs a DVD/LD player or LD player requires an analog connection and two digital connections (a coaxial or
optical and a specialized RF demodulator connection shown on the next page).
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC
wall outlet.
*The arrows indicate the direction of the video signal.
