Connecting the DV-CP802
—Continued
This section explains how to connect the DV-CP802 to
your TV or projector.
The TV handles the audio and video. If your TV has a
Dolby Pro Logic decoder built-in, you’ll be able to enjoy
DVDs and videos that bear the Dolby Surround logo.
To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS (5.1-channel surround),
you’ll need a suitable decoder (see page 19).
The DV-CP802 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 sup-
ports it, use a commercially available component video
cable to connect the DV-CP802’s COMPONENT video
output to the component video input on your TV. If your
TV supports progressive scanning, you must use compo-
nent video in order to take advantage of that feature.
See page 41 for more information on progressive scan-
ning.
S-Video offers better picture quality than composite
video, so if your TV supports it, use the supplied
S-Video cable to connect the DV-CP802’s S VIDEO out-
put to an S-Video input on your TV. Failing that, use the
supplied composite video cable to connect the
DV-CP802’s VIDEO output to a composite video input
on your TV.
Notes
• Before making any connections, turn off the
DV-CP802 and your TV and disconnect their power
cords from the wall outlets.
• Refer to the connection information supplied with
your TV.
• Connect the DV-CP802’s video outputs directly to
your TV. Don’t connect a VCR in between your
DV-CP802 and TV. Doing so may result in picture dis-
tortion, because of the copy protection system used on
DVD-Video discs.
