Connecting AV Equipment
Connecting Composite Video Signal (RCA)
Composite video input is the most commonly used signal input. However, this type of input also
provides a less optimal image quality. Many video sources can only output Composite video sig-
nals, for example, VCRs and camcorders. Other video sources, such as laser disc players, actu-
ally produce slightly better results when using Composite video.
Connecting S-Video Signal
Of all the signal types, S-video provides the second-best quality, and it is far superior to Com-
posite video signals. Because of this, when using satellite receivers, high-quality VCRs and DVD
players (without Composite video output) as sources, S-video will provide a clearer, sharper sig-
nal.
Connect the Composite signal terminal on
the TV to the output of AV equipment via
an Composite video cable (RCA
connector) as illustrated.
The DV2680/DV3070/DV3080 provides
two sets of Composite video inputs (AV1 &
AV2).
