Connecting the DPS-5.9—Continued
This section explains how to connect the DPS-5.9 to
your TV or projector.
See page 22 for connecting a TV or projector that
supports HDMI.
In this hookup example, the TV handles the audio and
video. To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS (surround), you’ll
need a compatible decoder (see page 20).
The DPS-5.9 has four types of video output: HDMI,
component video, S-Video, and composite video.
HDMI offers the best picture quality, so if your TV sup-
ports it, see page 22. Component video offers the next
best picture quality, so if your TV supports it, use a com-
mercially available component video cable to connect
the DPS-5.9’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT to the
component video input on your TV. If your TV supports
progressive scanning, you must use component video in
order to take advantage of that feature. S-Video offers
better picture quality than composite video, so if your
TV supports it, use the S-Video cable to connect the
DPS-5.9’s S VIDEO OUTPUT to an S-Video input on
your TV. Failing that, use the supplied composite video
cable to connect the DPS-5.9’s VIDEO OUTPUT to a
composite video input on your TV.
Compatibility of this unit with progressive-scan TVs.
