17 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Step 3: Depending on the video input capabili-
ties of your video display and the connections
available on your A/V receiver or surround
processor, make one of the following connec-
tions. For the highest video quality use compo-
nent video connections, if available. An S-Video
connection is the next best quality, followed by
a standard composite video connection.
If both your A/V receiver and video display have
component video inputs, connect the
Y/Pr/Pb
Component Outputs
¢ on the DVD 50 to
the matching input jacks on the back of your
A/V receiver, as shown in
Connection .
This connection is the same, regardless of
whether the component connection is to a digi-
tal television for progressive scan use or to a
standard analog video display. If your A/V
receiver does not have component video
switching, but if your television or video display
does has component inputs, make the connec-
tions from the
Y/Pr/Pb Component Outputs
¢ on the DVD 50 directly to the matching
inputs on your video display.
If the video display has an S-Video input and
component video is not available, connect the
S-Video Output § on the DVD 50 to the
S-Video input on your video display, as shown
in
Connection .
If the only video input available on your televi-
sion is a standard video jack, connect the
Composite Video Output ∞ on the DVD 50
to a matching composite video input on your
video display, as shown in
Connection
.
Note that in most cases the video input jack is
recognizable by the yellow ring surrounding
the input.
Installation Notes
■ For this installation, make the connections
from the receiver or processor to your video
display and speakers as described in the
owner’s manuals for those products.
■ Only one type of audio connection is
required, either digital or analog. If possible,
a digital connection is preferred as that will
enable you to listen to DVD soundtracks
with the clarity, definition and channel
separation made possible by Dolby Digital
and DTS. However, if you do not yet have a
receiver capable of digital audio processing,
you will still benefit from an analog
connection so that the receiver may create
a multichannel soundfield using Dolby Pro
Logic or other matrix decoding.
