AUDIO AND VIDEO CONNECTIONS Television connections In order to use your DVD player, you will need to make a video connection to your TV. The capabilities of your TV and the cables you have on hand will determine the connections you can use. There are four possible connection types: Composite video - The most widely used connection. An audio/video cable for composite video is required. RGB (over Scart) - Audio and video connection which enables an optimal picture quality.
AUDIO AND VIDEO CONNECTIONS 2. If you wish to hear sound through the TV, connect the stereo audio outputs of your DVD player to the matching inputs of your TV using the red and white connectors on the audio/video cable. 3. As this device has a fixed power cord, only plug the other end of the fixed power cord into the wall socket. 4. Turn on the TV and the DVD-Player. 5. Select the corresponding video input on your TV. For this please refer to the user manual of your TV.
AUDIO AND VIDEO CONNECTIONS Audio/Video connection to a TV with S-Video and Stereo Audio input S-Video socket 1 2 If your TV has an S-Video input, it is recommended that you use this Video connection. The S-Video connector is distinguishable by its 4 pins, as shown on the left side. S-Video separates brightness and colour signals, resulting in a higher video quality than standard composite video. For the audio connection you can use the red and white stereo audio in connectors of your TV.
AUDIO AND VIDEO CONNECTIONS Video connection to a TV / Beamer with Component Video inputs (YCbCr / YPbPr) Component video separates the video signal into three separate “components”, resulting in a higher picture quality than S-Video or standard composite video. In order to use component video, you have to use a TV/Beamer equipped with component video inputs. You will also need a component/P-Scan video cable (not included) with separate connectors for Y, Cb/Pb and Cr/Pr signals.
