Notes on connecting to a TV

•If picture noise appears while playing copy-protected DVDs, connect the unit directly to a TV. Do not connect through a VCR, TV/VCR or AV selector.

•The unit cannot be connected to a TV which is not equipped with a video input connector.

•Use a commercially available stereo-monaural audio cord when connecting to a monaural TV.

•If you are connecting the unit to a TV equipped with an S-video input connector, it is recommended that a commercially available S-video cord be used to achieve the best possible picture clarity.

About component video output jacks (Y, PR/CR, PB/CB)

The component video output jacks output the different color signals (PR/CR, PB/CB) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.

The descriptions of the component video input connectors on TV sets may differ depending on the TV or monitor. Among descriptions generally used are PR/PB/Y, CR/CB/Y and R-Y/B-Y/Y.

Progressive scan connection

If you are using a high-definition or "digital ready" TV that is compatible with progressive scan signals, you can take advantage of the unit's progressive scan output for high quality video with less flickers. For more information on the mechanism and features of progressive scan, see page 9.

To use the unit's progressive scan output, you need to:

–Use a TV that is compatible with progressive scan signals.

–Set the VIDEO OUTPUT switch on the rear of the unit to "COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN" before connecting to the TV.

–Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y, PR/CR, PB/ CB) jacks on the unit to the component video input connectors on the TV using commercially available video cables.

–Set the "Progressive Scan" in the setup menu to "On" for output of progressive scan signals.

CAUTION

DO NOT set the "Progressive Scan" in the setup menu to "On" when connecting to a TV that is not compatible with progressive scan signals. If you set "Progressive Scan" to "On" in error, the picture will appear scrambled. In this case, reset the unit by holding down s for more than 5 seconds in stop mode. The original video output will be restored and the picture will become visible again.
