Video outputs
The following table gives details of the video outputs. All outputs
include the 561 on-screen display.
When an S-video source is selected the S-video output is also
converted to composite and fed to the composite outputs.
However, to take advantage of the higher quality available from
S-video sources it is recommended that you also connect the
S-video output to the television or monitor.

Use this input
To connect to this
CD/D1, DVD/D2,
A digital source, such as a CD player,
CDR/D3, Tape2/D4,
DVD player, digital tape recorder, or
DTV/D5
digital television tuner.
LD/01
A digital-optical source, such as a
LaserDisc player, the 519
Demodulator, or a CD player with no
digital-cable output.
The digital connections should be made with high-quality 75
Ω
screened cable. Suitable cables are available from Meridian. We
do not recommend using audio cables, which do not have
adequate shielding or the correct impedance, or cables intended
for UHF applications, as these do not provide adequate
shielding in the 1–30MHz region.
Optical connections should be made using a suitable optical
fibre supplied by your dealer.
