Other Connection Options
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
The HDMI jack provides optimum picture quality. This jack gives
you an uncompressed digital interface that carries both video
and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable.
Note: Make sure you set the HDMI Setup option in the menu
system to the resolution setting that most closely matches your TV.
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 con-
nection. 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.
DIGITAL 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.
HDMI Cable
Connecting TV with DVI input
Please get a HDMI to DVI cable (not supplied)
to connect your DVD player to a TV or monitor
with a DVI input jack.
IMPORTANT:
Since DVI connections do not carry audio,
you will need to connect the DVD Player’s
AUDIO OUT jacks to your TV’s audio input
jacks to hear the audio from the DVD Player.
You can also use one of the digital audio
output jacks to connect the DVD Player to
an audio receiver with digital input jacks. See
your DVD Player’s User Manual for more
information.
