SCART connection

Connect the EURO AV1 AUDIO/VIDEO scart jack on the recorder to the corresponding in jacks on the TV using the scart cable (T).

Video connection

Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on the recorder to the video in jack on the TV using the video cable (V).

Component Video connection

Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/ PROGRES- SIVE SCAN jacks on the recorder to the correspon- ding input jacks on the TV using an Y Pb Pr cable (C).

Progressive Scan connection

If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready” television, you may take advantage of the recorder’s progressive scan output for the highest video resolu- tion possible. If your TV does not accept the Progressive Scan format, the picture will appear scrambled if you try Progressive Scan on the recorder.

Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/ PROGRES- SIVE SCAN jacks on the recorder to the correspon- ding in jacks on the TV using the Y Pb Pr cable (C).

Notes:

•Set the Progressive to [ON] on the setup menu for progressive signal, see page 22.

•Progressive scan does not work with the analog video connections (yellow VIDEO OUT jack).

Caution

Once the setting for Progressive Scan output is entered, an image will only be visible on a Progressive Scan compatible TV or monitor. If you set Progressive Scan to [ON] in error, you must reset the recorder. First, remove the disc in the recorder. Next, press

x(STOP) and hold it for five seconds before releasing it. The video output will be restored to the standard setting, and a picture will once again be visible on a conventional analog TV or monitor.

Audio (Left/Right) Connection

Connect the left and right AUDIO OUT jacks of the recorder to the audio left and right IN jacks on the TV using the audio cables (A). Do not connect the recorder’s AUDIO OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system.
