Optional Video Connections
Visible improvements in DVD-Video quality can be achieved by making either S-video or component video connections
to a TV or monitor compatible with these types of connections.
Note
When either S-video or component video connection is made, it is not necessary to make composite video connections using the
yellow cord of the audio-video cable.
Making S-video connections
If the TV or monitor has an S-video input, making this
type of video connection will produce improved
picture quality. Using an S-video cable, connect the
VIDEO OUTPUT S VIDEO CH1 or CH2 jack to the
corresponding S-video input jack on the TV.
Be sure to set Audio Out Select to “Analog 2Ch” using
the on-screen menu explained in “Customizing the
Function Settings” starting on page 46. See page 50 for
direct information.
Making component video connections
If the TV or monitor has component video inputs, making
this type of video connection will produce the ideal
picture quality for the presentation of DVD-Video. Using a
component video cable (sold separately), connect the
VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT CH1 or CH2 jacks to the
corresponding component video input jacks on the TV.
Some TVs and monitors use BNC jacks for the component
video input. When this is the case, make connections to
the VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT BNC jacks using a
component video cable that has BNC plugs. Actual
labels for component video inputs may vary depending
on the TV manufacturer. (e.g. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y, C
B
, C
R
)
In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the playback
picture may be reduced slightly or the tint may change.
In such a case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum
performance.
Be sure to set Audio Out Select to “Analog 2Ch” using the
on-screen menu explained in “Customizing the Function
Settings” starting on page 46. See page 50 for direct
information.

video inputs that are capable of reproducing a
progressively scanned video signal. Connecting to these
inputs allows you to view the highest quality pictures with
less flicker.
Interlaced outputs
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component
video inputs. Connecting to these inputs allows you to
enjoy higher quality picture playback.
In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the playback
picture may be reduced slightly or the tint may change. In
such a case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum
performance.
