If your equipment supports it:
• The digital audio optical (
optical S/PDIF) or digital audio (COAXIAL S/PDIF) audio
outputs may be used in place of the stereo audio outputs (
audio l and r). In most
cases these outputs offer a higher level of audio quality, including support for
Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.
• S-Video connections may be used in place of the standard composite video
connections. In most cases, S-Video offers a higher level of standard definition
video quality than composite video.
These video connection methods do not support HD video. If you have an HDTV, see
