COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y, Pb, Pr) Jacks
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.
PROGRESSIVE SCAN ON/OFF Switch
If you connect the DVD Player to a TV that is
capable of using progressive scan technology, you
need to use the Y, Pb, Pr jacks and video cables. It is
essential to turn the PROGRESSIVE SCAN switch
to the ON position. If you use S-VIDEO OUT or
VIDEO OUT jacks for your connection, leave the
switch in the OFF position.
Note: If your TV or monitor has progressive scanning capability,
you need to turn the switch on the back of the DVD player to
the PROGRESSIVE SCAN ON position.
DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL/OPTICAL
(Audio)
Use one of these jacks to connect your DVD player
to a Dolby Digital* receiver or decoder. Some
receivers have either the COAXIAL or OPTICAL
type of Digital Audio Input jack and some have
both. Under most conditions, optical and coaxial
connections work equally well––the only difference
is the type of cable you connect to the jack.
Note: If the DVD player is connected to a DTS** receiver
through DIGITAL OUT and DTS track is selected, there will be
no sound.
