level of performance.The jacks on the back of your DVD Player and the cables used to connect
them are explained below. A sample connection and instructions are on pages 6 and 7.

Video Jacks and Cables

VIDEO OUT Jack and Cable

The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as
composite video. Composite video is better than the video quality you get from
an RF coaxial cable (the type used to plug the cable feed into a TV). Usually the
video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white and red).

S-VIDEO OUT Jack and Cable

The S-VIDEO OUT (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than
composite video (the VIDEO OUT jack) because the color is kept separate
from the black and white part of the video signal. If your TV has an S-Video
jack, connect the DVD Player to the TV with an S-Video cable.

Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the S-Video cable carries only the
picture signal, not the sound.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT REGULAR AND PROG. SCAN (Y, Pb, Pr)
Jacks and Component Video Cables

The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide optimum picture quality because the video signal is
separated into three parts.

To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables (yellow) for
the connection.You can also buy bundled component video cables that are
color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr jacks (red, green, and blue).

Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the component cable carries only
the picture signal, not the sound.

VIDEO SELECTION switch

If you connect the DVD Player to a TV that is capable of using progressive
scan technology, you need to use the Y, Pb, Pr jacks and video cables. It is
essential you turn the VIDEO SELCTION switch to the PROGRESSIVE SCAN
ONLY position. If you use S-VIDEO OUT or VIDEO OUT jacks for your
connection, leave the switch in REGULAR CONNECTION position.
