DTS receiver or decoder.

, P

) VIDEO OUT
Use these jacks to connect to a TV with component video input jacks. Unlike a single video input,
component video maintains the video signal as three separate signals through these three jacks. This
connection provides optimum quality. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for
the Y, P
B
, and P
R
connections. Note that it is essential to match the color-coded connectors with a
compatible TV.
PROGRESSIVE (Y, P
B
, P
R
) VIDEO OUT
Use these jacks to connect to a TV with progressive video input jacks (labeling may vary; for example,
progressive scan jacks might be labeled Y, Pb, Pr). Progressive scan is a video scanning system that displays
all lines in a frame in one pass, as opposed to the traditional system, interlaced scan. This connection
provides optimum quality. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for
connections. Note that it is essential to match the color-coded connectors with a compatible TV.
COMPOSITE VIDEO OUT
If you are using color-coded red, yellow and white RCA cables, connect the yellow video cable to this jack
and to the Video Input jack on your TV.
S-VIDEO OUT
If your TV has an S-Video jack, you can connect an S-Video cable for increased video quality. The S-Video
cable only carries the picture signal; remember to connect the left and right audio cables.
