OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS

ADDITIONS
Using advanced video connections
The video cable supplied with your LIFESTYLE· system affords the most basic composite
connection.
In
earlier instructions, composite cable is used
to
connect
the
Video OUT on the media center
to
the TV Video
IN.
This connection serves
to
carry the DVD image
to
the TV screen.
Using a composite connection has its drawbacks:
• It restricts use
of
the Video
IN
jack on the media center
to
a composite connection only. The
media center passes only like signals through
to
the
TV.
• Connecting another component
to
the Video
IN
jack requires
an
additional composite
cable, which
is
not supplied with the system.
) Note:
To
see this type
of
Video IN connection, refer to "VCR connections" on page 30.
•
You
do
not get the best video image possible from DVDs
or
a second video source.
If your TV supports a higher-quality Video input connection, we suggest using that instead.
Refer
to
"Moving beyond composite
to
S-Video"(below) and "Connecting for progressive
scan or HDTV"
on
page 29.
Moving
beyond
composite to
S-
Video
An S-Video input jack, provided on many TVs, delivers higher picture quality than composite
video output.
For this type
of
connection
to
the
TV,
use the supplied S-Video C
VIDEO
]
cable. Insert one end into the S-Video OUT jack on the media center 0
1'8'
and the other end into the S-Video input on your
TV.
) Note:
To
see this type
of
connection, refer to the diagram
and
instructions on using "Cabie
or
satellite
box
options" on page
31.
Using
an
S-Video connection means:
• It restricts use
of
the Video
IN
jack on the media center
to
an
S-Video connection only. The
media center passes only like signals through
to
the
TV.
• Connecting another component
to
the Video
IN
jack requires an additional S-Video cable,
which is not supplied with the system.
• A second component can be added by using a composite connection
to
Video
IN
on the
media center and a composite connection from the Video OUT
to
your
TV.
) Note: For details on connecting two components, refer to the diagram
and
instructions on
"Connecting
a
VCR
in
addition to cable/satellite" on page
32
or
"Connecting a DVR
in
addition to
cable/satellite" on page 33.
