How can a CD-i player be connected to a TV or stereo system?
It is completely up to the manufacturer of a CD-i player how the player can be connected to a TV set. There are several connection methods available, such as (ranging from bad to good) RF (antenna), CVBS (composite video), Y/C (seperated chroma and brightness information, sometimes referred to as Hi-8 or SVHS) and RGB (component video for each of the red, green and blue color components). If available use RGB, which is available on most European players as a SCART- or Euroconnector. If not, use Y/C. Only in all other circumstances use CVBS or RF, since these provide a significant lower color reproduction quality and sharpness compared to RGB and Y/C. Most CD-i player have two standard cinch connectors for audio output. These connectors can be connected to any stereo-system (make sure not to use the input port for a phonograph if still available, any other one like tape, aux or TV is fine). Some players (most notably the portables) have a mini-jack audio output instead of two cinch outp
