￿Composite Video Output: Connect this jack to the video input on a television or video projector.

￿S-Video Output: Connect this jack to the S- Video input on a television or video projector.

￿Component Video Outputs: These outputs carry the component video signals for connection to display monitors with component video inputs. For standard analog TV's or projectors with inputs marked Y/Pr/Pb or Y/Cr/Cb, connect these outputs to the corresponding inputs. If you have a high-definition television or projector that is compatible with high scan rate progressive video, connect these jacks to the “HD Component” inputs. Note that if you are using a progressive scan display device, then ”Progressive” must be selected in the Video Set-up Menu in order to take advantage of the progressive scan circuitry. See page 20 for more information on progressive scan video.

IMPORTANT: These jacks should NOT be con- nected to standard composite video inputs.

￿SCART OUT (TV): If your TV has a SCART socket, you can connect a SCART cable to your TV and to your DVD Player for improved video quality. The SCART cable carries both audio and video. You can select Composite Video or RGB video for that SCART connector’s video output signal.
