AV Cables and Jacks Right! Wrong! Signal Video and Audio Video Cable HDMI Component video Y PB PR Analog RGB Audio S-Video Composite video Optical digital audio Coaxial digital audio Analog audio (RCA) Multichannel analog audio (RCA) Jack HDMI Description HDMI connections can carry digital video and audio. Green Blue Red Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PB, PR), providing the best picture quality (some TV manufacturers label their component video sockets slightly differently). This is a conventional analog interface to connect a PC and a display device (also called D-Sub or D-subminiature). S-Video separates the luminance from color signals and provides better picture quality than composite video. Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs, and V Yellow other video equipment. OPTICAL Optical digital connections allow you to enjoy digital sound such as PCM*, Dolby Digital or DTS. The audio quality is the same as coaxial. Orange Coaxial digital connections allow you to enjoy digital sound such as PCM*, Dolby Digital or DTS. The audio quality is the same as optical. L White Analog audio connections (RCA) carry analog audio. R Red This cable carries multichannel analog audio and is typically used to connect DVD players with a 7.1-channel analog audio output. Several standard analog audio cables can be used instead of a multichannel cable. * Available sampling rate for PCM input signal (stereo/mono) is 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz. In case of an HDMI connection, 176.4/192 kHz is also available.

Push plugs in all the way. En Caution 16 • To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
