Connections and Setup 5 Pr Pb Y COMPONENT/ PROGRESSIVE VIDEO OUT 3 4 The back of your DVD player Video Jacks and Cables 3 VIDEO OUT Jack and Cable The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as composite video. Composite video is better than the video quality you get from an RF coaxial cable (the type used to plug the cable feed into a TV). Usually the video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white and red). Pr Pb Y COMPONENT/ PROGRESSIVE VIDEO OUT 4 S-VIDEO OUT Jack and Cable The S-VIDEO OUT (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than composite video (the VIDEO OUT jack) because the color is kept separate from the black and white part of the video signal. If your TV has an S-Video jack, connect the DVD Player to the TV with an S-Video cable. Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the S-Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound. 5 COMPONENT VIDEO/PROGRESSIVE OUT (Y, Pb, Pr) Jacks and Component Video Cables The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide optimum picture quality because the video signal is separated into three parts. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables (yellow) for the connection.You can also buy bundled component video cables that are color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr jacks (red, green, and blue). Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the component cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound. 4 Graphics throughout this User's Guide are for representation only.
