Philips DVDR 80 Connecting with a Component Video Y Pb Pr cable, Interlaced, Progressive scan

Connecting with a 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. The plugs for these cables and the corresponding jacks are usually red, green, and blue.

In addition, the signal can be 'interlaced' or 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 antenna 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 cinch cable, an audio cable (4, red/white plugs).

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' jack, please use this jack. (Usually called 'Video In Y Cb Cr'. Please see your

TV's instruction manual).
