When selecting the Video Output

Continued

•The COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUTs of this unit can be capable of outputting either conventional interlacing video signal or progressively scanned video signal(that can reproduce high-density pictures with less flicker).

•When the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUTs of this unit are connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUTs of TV or projector, etc., depending on whether the video signal system of your TV or projector, etc. supports the conventional interlacing(simply called interlaced) video signals or the progressively scanned(simply called progressive) video signals(that can reproduce high-density pictures with less flicker), you should select the corresponding video signal.

•You can select the desired video output signal with pressing the UPSCALE button, too.(For details, refer to “CHANGING THE COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT SIGNAL” on page 29.)

Notes:

•When you select the PROGRESSIVE, the S-VIDEO and COMPOSITE VIDEO OUTPUTs of this unit cannot output the video signals, meaning the picture will not be shown.

•When the progressive video signals are input into the non-progressive COMPONENT VIDEO INPUTs of your TV, etc., the picture may not be shown normally.

Therefore, when the progressive COMPONENT VIDEO INPUTs of TV is not connected to, you should select INTERLACED.

When selecting the SCART VIDEO(Regional Option)

•For some countries like Europe, this unit incorporates the A/V SCART OUTPUT connector which can deliver the composite (regular), the S-VIDEO(Y and C) or RGB video signals as well as the audio L and R signals for easy connection.

•When the SCART connections between the unit and video equipments are made, you should select the appropriate of the COMPOSITE, S-VIDEO and RGB video signals.

SCART VIDEO		COMPOSITE
BLACK LEVEL		S-VIDEO
		RGB

COMPOSITE : When outputting the composite(regular) video signals from the A/V SCART OUTPUT connector.

S-VIDEO : When outputting the S-VIDEO signals. RGB : When outputting the RGB signals.

Notes:

•When the VIDEO OUTPUT is set to PROGRESSIVE, the SCART VIDEO cannot be set to RGB, and vice versa.

•Be sure to set your TV to the corresponding video signal to match the SCART VIDEO setting of the unit.(Refer to the operating instructions of the component(s) connected.)

•Depending on the SCART VIDEO and VIDEO OUTPUT settings, the video signals will be output as follows:
