Other connection options
There are several ways in which you can incorporate your
unit into an Audio-Video system. This depends on the
sockets and other appliances you have. Sound and image
quality depend to a large extent on the types of connections
used.
1. Coaxial audio output (digital sound)
The digital sound of a DVD video disc when played is
permanently available on the coaxial socket of your unit.
Use this socket by connecting it to a decoder or Dolby
Digital amplifier.
2. Component video outputs (Y, Pb, Pr) (YUV)
The Y, Pb, Pr sockets deliver an optimum image quality
due to the separation of the video signal into three
separate components. To obtain the best image quality
possible, use very high quality cables for connections.
Your dealer can provide YUV cables that are sold
together and come in the standard colour codes (red,
green and blue) used for these types of sockets and
cables.
3. S-Video output
The S-Video jack provides better picture quality than a
video jack (sometimes labeled VIDEO and color-coded
yellow on TVs) because S-Video keeps the color part of
the picture separate from the black and white part of the
picture. An S-Video cable is required for connection with
a TV.
4. AV input (INPUT)
These jacks receive audio and video from a compatible
component, such as a satellite receiver. Another set of
input jacks are on the front of the unit for temporarily
connecting components such as a camcorder or a video
game unit.
5. S-Video input (INPUT)
If your satellite receiver or cable box has an S-VIDEO
output jack, connect the S-VIDEO cable to this jack
because it provides better picture quality than standard
video (the yellow jack). Besides the S-Video input jack at
the rear panel, there is another one on the front of the
unit.

Connections
If you use the Component sockets Y, Pb, Pr (also
called YUV), you must configure the output video
signal so that these sockets deliver either an interlaced
YUV signal (component interlaced) or a progressive PS
signal (component progressive) by pressing PSCAN on
the remote control. Do not forget to also connect the
audio cables, because Component cables only
transmit images, and not sound.
Remember to connect the left and right audio
cables or coaxial audio cable because S-Video cable
carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
