Option 3: Connecting to a Progressive Scan TV or component video input (best picture quality)

The progressive scan video quality is only available when using Y Pb Pr connection and a progressive scan TV is required. It provides superior picture quality when watching DVD movies.

A Follow option 1 to make the basic video connection.

B Use the component video cables (red/ blue/green - not supplied) to connect the Y PB PR jacks on the DVD system to the corresponding component video input jacks (or labelled as Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr or YUV) on the TV.

C If your TV accepts progressive signals, proceed to ‘Getting Started - Step 5: Setting up Progressive Scan feature’ for detailed progressive feature setup.

Option 4: Using an accessory RF modulator

If your TV has only a single Antenna Input jack (labelled as 75 ohm or RF In,) you will need an RF modulator in order to view the DVD playback on the TV. See your electronics retailer or contact Philips for details about RF modulator availability and operations.

A Use the supplied composite video cable (yellow) to connect the DVD system’s CVBS jack to the video input jack on the RF modulator.

B Use an RF coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect ANTENNA OUT to TO TV jack on the RF modulator to the ANTENNA IN jack on the TV.

C Connect the Antenna or Cable TV service signal to the ANTENNA IN or RF IN jack on the RF modulator. (It may have been connected to your TV previously. Disconnect it from the TV.)

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected from the power outlet.
