SCART OUT

Note: Use only one of the connection methods shown above for each type of equipment.

SCART VIDEO OUT

The SCART video socket provides the best quality for video signal. If there is no Scart socket is available on your TV set, check whether your TV has another Video socket (Composite, Component or S-Video) that you can use to connect your player.

VIDEO OUT socket

This socket (yellow) is also known as a composite video socket.The picture quality obtained using a video connection is poorer compared to that obtained using a Scart connection.

S-VIDEO OUT socket

S-Video cable

Component cables

The S-VIDEO OUT socket provides better picture quality than composite video (the VIDEO OUT socket) because the colour is kept separate from the black and white part of the video signal. If your TV has an S-Video socket, connect the appliance to the TV with an S-Video cable (not supplied).

Component video out

The Y, Pb, Pr sockets provide optimum picture quality because the video signal is separated into three parts.To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the connection.You can also buy bundled component video cables that are colour-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr sockets (green, blue and red).

Note: If your TV set supports Progressive Scan, you can use the DVD player’s progressive scan output to obtain the highest possible video resolution. In that case, you need to activate the Progressive Scan option in the Video menu.
