Connecting the DV-SP503E—Continued

Connecting Your TV

Connect the DV-SP503E to the TV directly. If you connect the DV-SP503E to a VCR, TV/VCR combina- tion, or video selector, the playback picture may be distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.

Using S Video

If your TV (or other equipment) has an S Video input, you can use this instead of the standard (composite) out- put for a better quality picture.

Use an S Video cable (supplied) to connect the S VIDEO OUTPUT to an S Video input on your TV (or monitor or AV receiver).

Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the plug before plugging in.

Note:

Watching progressive scan video from the component video outputs

This player can output progressive scan video from the component video output. Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scan- ning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free image. To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV, see Video Output settings on page 46. When the player is set to output progressive scan video, the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights in the front panel display.

Important:

If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a pro- gressive scan signal and switch the player to progres- sive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case, switch everything off and reconnect using the supplied video cable, then switch back to Interlace (see page 21).

Using SCART (European model only)

If your TV has a SCART-type AV input, you can use a SCART cable to connect this player to your TV. This type of connection carries both the sound and the picture, so there’s no need to connect up the AUDIO OUTPUT L/R and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

Use a SCART cable (supplied) to connect the AV CONNECTOR to an AV input on your TV.
