Case 2: Component Video / Progressive Scan connection

This DVD recorder system supports Progressive Scan (“PAL Progressive” or similar).

To appreciate the flexibility of the Scart connection and the high picture quality of Progressive Scan, it is recommended to connect both, Scart (EXT-1 TO TV-I/O) and the Component Video / Progressive Scan output of the DVD recorder system to your TV.

Use the Progressive Scan connection (FOR PLAYBACK / VIDEO OUT COMPONENT Y PB PR) when playing a disc on the DVD recorder system. Use the Scart connection when playing connected equipment (SAT,VCR, GAME, CAM1/2). Please consult the user manual of your TV on how to switch between the Scart and the Progressive Scan input of the TV.

VIDEO OUT COMPONENT

1Check the user manual of your TV on which AV input is suited for Progressive Scan. Usually, these sockets are green,

blue and red and are labelled Y PB PR or Y CB CR.

If your TV is not suited for Progressive Scan, only connect Scart (See “Case 1: Scart connection”).

2Connect FOR PLAYBACK / VIDEO OUT COMPONENT

Y PB PR on the DVD recorder system to the Progressive Scan input of the TV with a Component Video cable (red, green and blue plugs). Match the colours of the cable plugs to the sockets.

3Connect the Scart socket of the TV to EXT-1 TO TV-I/O on the DVD recorder system with the supplied Scart cable. See “Case 1: Scart connection” on page 13.

0If you decide not to connect Scart, connect the audio output of the TV to AUDIO LIN1 L/R or LIN2 L/R to play the sound of your TV on the speakers of the DVD recorder system.With the Scart connection, this is not necessary.

Please be aware that some TVs switch automatically from the Progressive Scan input to the Scart input as soon as a signal is available on the Scart input. In this case you have to select the Progressive Scan input on your TV again. If your TV repeatedly switches from the Progressive Scan input to the Scart input, disconnect the Component Video cable and use the Scart connection only.
