Component video output

[GENERAL q Video Out q Comp. Video]

This setting allows the selection of interlaced (Interlace*) or progressive-scan (Progressive) video from the component video outputs.

Progressive-scan video provides a better, clearer picture. However, it is not supported by every television or monitor, and you should ensure that this is supported fully before turning on this option.

<When your TV isn’t compatible with progressive scan, never select “Progressive”. No picture will be shown on the monitor.

In case you select “Progressive” by mistake, connect your TV via the VIDEO OUT jack or S-VIDEO jack to display the Setup menu and change the setting to “Interlace”, or initialize the settings (see page 7).

‘CONSUMERS SHOULD NOTE THAT NOT ALL HIGH DEFINITION TELEVISION SETS ARE FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH THIS PRODUCT AND MAY CAUSE ARTIFACTS TO BE DISPLAYED IN THE PICTURE. IN CASE OF 525 OR 625 PROGRESSIVE SCAN PICTURE PROBLEMS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE USER SWITCH THE CONNECTION TO THE ‘STANDARD DEFINITION’ OUTPUT. IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS REGARDING OUR TV SET COMPATIBILITY WITH THIS MODEL 525p AND 625p DVD PLAYER, PLEASE CONTACT OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.’
