Sockets and cables
There are several ways in which you can incorporate your DVD player into an Audio-Video
system.The simplest of these is described on page 15. This uses Scart-Peritel cables that combine
Audio analogue connections for sound, and Video for the RGB image.This connection ensures the
optimum image quality (like Y, U,V). If you cannot use Scart-Peritel sockets, the explanations on this

the sockets and appliances you have. Sound and image quality depend to a large extent on the
