Connecting the video output to your TV
In order to use this DVD player with your TV, a few cable connections are necessary. The capabilities of your TV will determine the
connections you can use. There are 3 possible connection types:
Composite Video - The most widely used connection.

S-Video - A higher quality connection that requires the provided S-Video connector and an S-Video capable TV.

Component Video - The highest quality video connection. Supported on high-end televisions.

Composite Video (Typical connection)
Use the Composite / S - Video and Stereo Audio cable for connection to TVs with a standard video input as shown below. This is the
most widely used type of connection on TV’s. The composite connector is colored yellow, and is normally accompanied by stereo
audio inputs, colored red and white for stereo channels right and left, respectively.
Composite / S - Video Cable
First, use the supplied Composite / S - Video cable to
connect to the composite video input jack on your TV.
This is normally a yellow-colored connector as pictured
below.

If your TV does not have a composite video-in jack like that pictured above, you cannot connect this
unit directly. If this is the case, check to make sure your TV has at least a coaxial connector (used for
antenna/cable TV/VCR/etc.) such as that pictured to the right. If this is the case, you can use an RF
Modulator to convert this unit’s video out to the coaxial connection on your TV. RF Modulators are
available at major electronics retailers.

This is a higher quality connection than standard composite video. The S-Video connector is distinguishable by its 4 pins, as shown
below. If your TV has an S-Video input, it’s recommended that you use this type of connection for better picture quality.
Component Video & Progressive Scan
The highest quality video connection, component video, requires the Component Video Cable, with separate connectors for the Y,
Pb/Cb, and Pr/Cr signals. To use the progressive scan option on this unit, you’ll need to use the component video output. Using the

end to your television’s Component Video input
connection.
