CConnecting to a TV with component jacks

You can enjoy picture of high-fidelity color reproduction by connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the unit to your TV.

NOTES

Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.

When using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, do not connect the S-VIDEO output jack on the unit.

If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).

Progressive scan video playback available

In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the progressive video input.

About the scanning mode

Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-per- second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information.

When the unit plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Selecting the 525i/525p/REMOTE selector position

If your TV equipped with component jacks does not support the progressive scanning mode

Set the 525i/525p/REMOTE selector to “525i.”

If your TV equipped with component jacks supports the progressive scanning mode

Set the 525i/525p/REMOTE selector to “525p.”

If you want to select the scanning mode between the interlace and progressive modes (depending on the source condition, or when connecting more than one television, etc.)

Set the 525i/525p/REMOTE selector to “REMOTE.”

Thus you can select the mode from the remote control unit.

NOTE

You must change the 525i/525p/REMOTE selector position while the unit power is off. Otherwise, the changed setting is not effective.

Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote control unit

When the unit is turned on and the 525i/525p/REMOTE selector is set to “REMOTE,” press and hold down VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN for a few seconds.

The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning and Interlaced scanning modes.

When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel turns on. Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] setting on the [PICTURE] preference display and whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the color of the

indicator differs, as shown in the table below.

*While stopped in the Progressive scanning mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator is lit in red regardless of the [PICTURE SOURCE] selection.

NOTES

The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect the unit’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV.

The Progressive scanning mode works only when the signal format is NTSC.

There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that are not fully compatible with the unit, resulting in the unnatural picture when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc in the Progressive scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced scanning mode. To check the compatibility of your TV set, contact your local JVC customer service center.

All JVC progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets are fully compatible with the unit (Example: AV-61S902).

The VIDEO jack, S-VIDEO jack and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks cannot be used at the same time. Connect cable(s) only to the jack(s) you want to use.
