Different jacksand cablesprovide a different levelof performance, It's important to remember, we're r_lking about degrees of picture improvement for comparison. If your TV hasComponent iacks (Y,Pb,Pr),S-VIDEO,and composite video (often color-coded yellow and grouped with Audio Left and Rightjacksthat arewhite and red); Component (Y,Pb,Pr),would be considered excellent, S-Video would be very good, and the composite video jack (yellow) would be considered good, yPI P_ Component Video (Y_ Pb, Pr) Jacks and Cables TheY, Pb,Priacks provide optimum picture quality becausethe video is separatedinto three signals (two signalsare dedicatedto the color portion of the image,and the other signalisdedicated to the black and white part of the image). To ensure maximum picture quafty, usethree video-gradecables(no_ supplied)for the connection. You can purchasebundled component video cables(not supplied) that are color-coded to match the Y,Pb,Pr jacks (red,green, and blue),ComponentVideo Input iacksare usually found on high-endTVs, such as HDTVs; multimedia monitors; and some of the"flat" LCD and PlasmaTVs or monitors, Notes; Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cablesbecause the Y, Pb, Pr jacks and cables carry on_ythe picture signal, not the sound, Nse the ComponentVideo connection (¥, Pb, Pr) for DVD playback a_d watching TV.Yo_must a_soco_ect yelow video came or S-Video for VCRp_aybad_i_ analog mode, S-WDEO $=Vi_eo jacks a_ Cables The S-Video (separatevideo) jack provides better picture quality than a composite video jack (sometimes labeledVIDEO and color

If your TV has COHPONENT INPUT jacks,usethree video grade cablesto connect _he DVDNCR to thesejacks on the TV to get the best picture quality.However, makesure you also connect another video cable (either a RFcoaxial cable to the CABLE/ANTENNA OUTPUT jack;the yellow cable to theVlDEO Output bck; or an SoVideocable to the SoVlDEOOUT jack) becauseyou can only use ComponentVideo for DVD Playback.You'llneed to haveanotherVideo Output connected for playbackof VCR tapes, D|G|TAL AUDIO OPTICAL OUT - DVD PLAYBACK ONLY: If you havea Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder with a DigitalAudio Optical input bck, you canachieveenhancedsound quality during DVD PLAYBACKby connecting a digital optical cable (not supplied), Note: _ake sure you connect regn_araudio cables in addition to connecting a Digital Audio cable because you can on_yuse the D_G_TALAUD_Oconnection for DVD Playback. Jf you're pJayinga VCRtape in analog mode (necessary for recording to DVD disc and p_ayinga tape at the same time) you'll need the other audio cables connected because the sound from the D_G_TALAUDIOwon't match up with the video in analog mode causing a "a ffp sync" problem.
