which is not equipped with component video connectors, it is recommended to use the 
S video cable to connect to the S-video output of the DVD player/recorder, HDD 
recorder, digital tuner, etc. If the connected equipment is not equipped with the S-video 
output connector, use the video cable to connect to the video output jack on the 
equipment.
