Method 3 – Component Video Connection to TV
•If your TV has no digital video input but has component video inputs, please use a set of component video cable to connect the component video output of the DVD player to the TV. The connectors are color coded, so please make sure the cable connections match on both ends. The component video connection will produce a very clear picture with high color accuracy.
•Please use the Red/White audio cables to connect the FRONT/MIXED audio output of the DVD player to the TV. Make sure the audio cables are connected to the same input terminal group on the TV as the component video input.
•You may connect the composite video or S-Video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose, just in case there is a problem with component video. However it is not recommended to use the composite video or S-Video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because using it will lose the advantage of video up-conversion and you will only get standard definition video.
•Video up-conversion over the component output is only available for unencrypted discs such as home video and consumer-created contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSS- encrypted and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction applies to the component output only. The HDMI output is protected with HDCP and has no such restriction.
•The component output will only output progressive-scan (480p/576p) and up-converted resolutions (720p/1080i/1080p) when the HDMI output is not in use (The HDMI cable is unplugged and the “Primary Output” setup menu item in the “Video Setup Page” is set to “Component” – see page 55 for details). When the HDMI output is in use, or when “Primary Output” is set to “HDMI”, the player will output interlaced video (480i/576i) through its component output.
