Video Jacks and Cables

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).

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.

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.
