How to Connect the Sony DVP-C660 CD/DVD Player to a TV

You can connect the Sony DVP-C660 CD/DVD player to a TV and begin enjoying stereo sound and quality video. Standard RCA cables handle the stereo sound, and the Sony DVP-C660 gives you three ways to handle video: component video, composite video or as S-video.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• two-channel audio cable
• s-video cable
• component video cable
• sony dvp-C660 cd/dvd player
• composite video cable

1. Set up the Sony DVP-C660 CD/DVD player in your home entertainment center. Try not to have other objects placed on top of the player when possible. Plug in the CD/DVD player, but do not turn on the power.
   
   
2. Access the back panels of both the Sony DVP-C660 CD/DVD player and your TV. First, turn examine the input jacks on the back of your television, and find out if your TV supports stereo sound and what kind of video connections are possible with your TV.
   
   
3. Get a two-channel audio cable if your television supports stereo sound. Make the connection between the left and right outputs on the Sony DVP-C660 CD/DVD player to the left and right audio inputs on your TV.
4. Use a component video cable to achieve the best quality picture from a DVD source. When your TV supports this, hook the red, blue and green connectors on one end of the component video cable to the Pr/R-Y, Pb/B-Y and Y Component Video Out jacks on the Sony player and plug the connectors on the other end of the cable to the appropriate component video inputs on the television.
5. Get an S-video cable if your television has an S-video input. Plug one end of the S-video cable to the S-video Out jack on the Sony DVP-C660 CD/DVD player and insert the other end in the S-video input jack on your TV.
6. Use a composite video cable if your TV does not support either S-video or component video. Connect one end of the composite video cable to a Video Out jack on the Sony DVP-C660 CD/DVD player and connect the other end to the video input jack on your television.
7. Turn on the television and your Sony DVP-C660 CD/DVD player. Place a DVD in the player and hit Play to check your connections.
