The SCART cable is the biggest cable with the large connectors in the ends. Connect one end of the SCART cable to "SCART OUT" on your player. Connect the other end to the SCART input on your television. Then connect the antenna cable coming from your roof or the wall with "TV IN" on the player. Connect "TV OUT" with the antenna input on your television using the provided cable. Connect the power cable to the power connector. If your television does not have a SCART connector, you will have to connect both audio and video with separate cables. For connecting video, you have the following options: · VIDEO (composite video) · S-VIDEO (or "super-VHS", provides a better quality than VIDEO) · COMPONENT VIDEO (provides an even better quality than the above) After connecting the video, you will have to connect the audio. You can connect the audio to either the television or your HiFi set. The VR-558 outputs both analog and digital audio. Analog audio is the most common format, and is supported by most devices. Digital audio is more common on high-end equipment and surround amplifiers. For connecting the audio, you have the following options: · Connect ANALOG AUDIO OUT to your television using phono (RCA) jacks · Connect ANALOG AUDIO OUT to your HiFi stereo using phono (RCA) jacks · Connect COAXIAL or OPTICAL digital audio to your HiFi stereo Video connection Connecting your KiSS VR-558 DVD player to your TV can be done using any of the cables below.
