| S-video: These cables allow a lot of information about the picture and sound to travel through the input wires, translating into a crisper picture. Composite: These cables send less information through the input wires, resulting in a picture that's not as sharp as the S-video. |

| If you already own a lot of equipment by one manufacturer, it may be a good idea to stick with the same brand when you buy your DVD player. That way, you'll get cross compatibility in terms of remote functions. |

A DVD player is a high-quality piece of electronic equipment that can be optimized with a high-quality sound system and television. To get the most out of your DVD player, you'll need: A surround sound speaker system, including two front speakers, two rear speakers, a subwoofer, and a center-channel speaker with a Dolby digital receiver, which separates the sound into several different channels for intensified sound effects. Beyond that, check your television for S-video compatibility by looking at the back of the set for S-video cable outlets, which will be labeled and look larger than standard composite cables.
If your television isn't S-video compatible, it's most likely composite, or the more basic type of television. If this is the case, you need to make sure the DVD player you buy is composite-compatible as well as S-video compatible. Most players are compatible with both. If you have surround sound but no S-video, or even just a couple of speakers hooked up to your television, you'll still benefit from DVD. However, if you have none of these things, a DVD player won't enhance your viewing significantly.
