COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y, Pb, Pr) Jacks

The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide excellent 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 (green, blue, red). Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because

the component cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

DIGITA L 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, coaxial and optical 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 selcted, there will be no sound.
