Connecting with Component Video (Y PB PR) cable

Component Video is the highest quality system for transmitting video by splitting the video signal into the Y (brightness), U and V (red minus brightness, blue minus brightness) components. The signals are sent over separate lines. These cables and the corresponding jacks are usually red, green, and blue.

In addition, the signal can be 'interlaced' or may use 'progressive scan.'

Interlaced

The regular video/TV signal is interlaced, i.e. the even and odd lines are formed as half pictures in an alternate fashion.

Progressive scan

With progressive scan, each picture is structured (approx. 50/60 times per second depending on the TV system) as a complete picture, i.e. the even and odd lines are formed together. Disruptive picture flickering is avoided as is the case with 100 Hz TV devices.

Have the following cables ready:

an RF coaxial cable (1, supplied), a power cable (2, supplied), a Component Video (Y PB PR) cable (3, red, green, blue plugs) or a corresponding video-compatible RCA cable, audio cables (4, red/white plugs).

1Remove the antenna or Cable TV signal from your TV. Insert it into the ANTENNA IN jack at the back of the DVD recorder.

2Connect one end of the supplied RF coaxial cable to the TV OUT jack at the back of the DVD Recorder and connect the

other end to the antenna input jack on TV.

3Use the Component Video (Y PB PR) cable and connect one end to the red, blue, green COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR OUT jacks at the back of the DVD Recorder and the other end

to the Component Video In jacks of the TV.

4If your TV set is equipped with a 'progressive scan' jacks, please use these jacks instead. (Usually called 'Video In Y CB CR'. Please

see your TV's instruction manual).
