Connections and initial set up
Ushiden socket and
cable for Y/C Video
signal, also called
S-Video.
Optical socket and
cable for digital
audio signal.
5 - Composite Video Outputs (Y, Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr) (YUV)
The Y, Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr sockets deliver an optimum image quality due to the
separation of the video signal into three separate components (comparable
with RGB separation in a Scart-Peritel cable).
Note: the available video signal on these 3 sockets depends on the selection made at
the rear (1H or 2H) of your player (page 16). The available signal can be Y, Cb, Cr
(1H) for a progressive interlaced or Y, Pr, Pb (2H) for a non interlaced progressive
signal (no frame interleave).
In order to obtain the best possible image quality, always use very high quality
cables for the connections.Your dealer can provide YUV cables that are sold
together and come in the standard colour codes (red, green and blue) used
for these types of sockets and cables.
Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because Component cables only
transmit images, and not sound.
6 - S-Video Input and Output
S-Video input (Y/C) (S-VIDEO IN)
The S-Video signal is of a lesser quality than that of the RGB signal supplied
by the Peritel (Scart) socket. An S-Video signal however provides a better
quality image than a composite Video (CVBS) socket, because colour (C) is
separated from black and white (Y) in the video signal.
Note: do not forget to connect the audio cables since the S-Video cable transmits
only images, not sound.
S-Video out socket (Y/C) (S-VIDEO OUT)
The S-Video cable provides a video signal of lower quality than the Peritel
(Scart) socket. An S-Video signal however provides a better quality image than
a composite Video (CVBS) socket, because colour (C) is separated from black
and white (Y) in the video signal.
Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because the S-Video cable
transmits images and not sound.
7 - Optical Audio Output (digital sound)
The digital sound of a DVD Video disk when played is permanently available
on the optical socket of your player. Use this socket by connecting it to a
decoder or Dolby Digital amplifier or DTS.
8 - Digital Audio Video outputs (DTH 8550)
The HDMI socket permanently delivers very high quality digital sound and
pictures.This connection is strongly recommended with a digital television
which is fitted with the same socket and is compatible.
