Component Video terminal <A>
Component video connection achieves high fidelity in
reproducing colors (better performance than S-video
connection), separating video signal into luminance (Y,
terminal color-coded as green), and color difference (P
B
,
blue/P
R
, red). Use commercially available coaxial cables.
Receiver (and TV) with component input is required.
Observe the color of each jack when connecting. If your
receiver does not have component output jacks, connecting
the player’s component output directly to your TV’s
component input can reproduce better video image.
Note:
– Do not connect the player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks to component video input jacks special for HD (High-
Definition) TV.
S-Video terminal <B>
S (separate) video connection achieves a clearer picture
than composite video connection by separating color and
luminance when transmitting signals. Use commercially
available S-video cable. Receiver (and TV) with
S-video input is required.
Composite Video terminal (1, 2) <C>
Use RCA video cable supplied with the player when
connecting the player to a TV.
VIDEO 1, 2 jacks of VIDEO OUT output the same signal.
You can connect one to your receiver’s input using supplied
RCA cable, and the other to another receiver or a TV.
