COMPONENT VIDEO terminal (progressive out)

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output and provide a clearer picture than the S VIDEO terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the colour difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colours.

≥The description of the component video input terminals depends on the TV or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of the same colour.

S VIDEO terminal

The S VIDEO terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance

(Y)signals (Actual results depend on the TV). ≥Connect to a different terminal group (e.g.,

“VIDEO 2”) than that you used for the connection through this unit’s VHS/DVD OUT terminal. Picture from the VHS section will not appear when you use the same group input terminal connections because the S video terminal input takes precedence.

≥These connections are for the DVD section only.

Carry out the Basic Connections described above to view video from the VHS section.

≥When making this connection, ensure that you connect the audio cables (not supplied) to the corresponding audio input terminals on the TV.

≥You may need to change the video-input mode on the TV to view video from the VHS and DVD sections. Read your TV’s operating instructions for details.
