Connecting the DV-CP704
—Continued
This section explains how to connect the DV-CP704 to
your TV or projector.
In this hookup example, the TV handles the audio and video.
To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS (5.1-channel surround),
you’ll need a compatible decoder (see page 19).
The DV-CP704 has three types of video output:
compo-
nent video
,
S-Video
, and
composite video
. Component
video offers the best picture quality, so if your TV supports
it, use a commercially available component video cable to
connect the DV-CP704’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT-
PUT to the component video inputs on your TV. If your
TV supports progressive scanning, you must use compo-
nent video in order to take advantage of that feature.
S-Video offers better picture quality than composite
video, so if your TV supports it, use the S-Video cable to
connect the DV-CP704’s S VIDEO OUTPUT to an
S-Video input on your TV. Failing that, use the supplied
composite video cable to connect the DV-CP704’s
VIDEO OUTPUT to a composite video input on your TV.

Notes:
• Before making any connections, turn off the
DV-CP704 and your TV and disconnect their power
cords from the wall outlets.
• Also refer to the connection information supplied with
your TV.
• If you connect a TV that does not support progressive
scanning to the component video output, change the
HDMI Output Setting to Off (see page 44).
• Connect the DV-CP704’s video outputs directly to
your TV. Don’t connect a VCR or other video equip-
ment in between your DV-CP704 and TV. Doing so
may result in picture distortion, because of the copy
protection system used on DVD-Video discs.
• When you use the analog audio outputs, don’t play
DTS CDs or don’t select DTS soundtracks on
DVD-Video discs. Doing so will produce unpleasant
digital noise, which may damage your equipment.
