Option 3: Connecting to a Progressive Scan TV or component video input

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 Use the component video cables (red/ blue/green - not supplied) to connect the Y Pb Pr jacks on the main unit to the corresponding component video input jacks (or labeled as Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr or YUV) on the TV.

B If your TV accepts progressive signals, proceed to chapter ‘Getting Started - Setting up Progressive Scan feature’ for detailed progressive feature setup.

Option 4: Connecting to a HDMI- compatible TV

HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface that allows pure digital video transmission without the loss of image quality.

A Use the HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the HDMI OUT on the main unit to the HDMI IN on a HDMI- compatible device (e.g., HDMI TV, HDCP compliant DVI TV.)

B When you have completed the necessary connections, installation and set-up, see ‘Audio Setup Page and Video Setup Page’ for optimum HDMI audio and video settings.

Helpful Hints:

The HDMI is backward compatible with some DVI devices using an appropriate adaptor plug.

If a DVI device is connected, an additional audio cable is required for audio transmission.
