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

Be sure to connect the red and white plugs of the audio cable to the FRONT RIGHT/LEFT jacks on the rear of the unit, as shown in the illustration.

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

Set [ANALOG OUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display to [2-CH STEREO] (see page 39).

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).

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.
