DConnecting to a TV with component jacks

You can enjoy picture of high-fidelity color reproduction by connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to your TV.

NOTES

Be sure to connect the red and white plugs of the audio cable to the FRONT RIGHT/LEFT jacks on the rear of the player, as shown in the illustration.

Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.

Do not connect cables to S-VIDEO jack and SCART connector. If you do so, you will not be able to obtain correct signals from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.

Set [ANALOG OUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display to [2-CH STEREO] (see page 35).

If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).

Progressive scan video playback available

In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the progressive video input.

Hint

Depending on the source material format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source).

When the player plays back a film source material, Progressive (uninterlaced) signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the player interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

VFP -

PROGRESSIVE SCAN

The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning and Interlaced scanning modes.

When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the [P] indicator lights up in the display window.

[DD]also turns on when Progressive scanned signals on a DVD VIDEO disc are directly output as they are from the player. Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] preference display and whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video- source, the indicator that lights up in the display window differs, as shown in the table below.

NOTES

The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect the player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV.

There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that are not fully compatible with the player, resulting in the unnatural picture when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc in the Progressive scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced scanning mode. To check the compatibility of your TV set, contact your local JVC customer service center.

All JVC progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets are fully compatible with the player (Example: AV-61S902).
