Connecting using the component video output

You can use the component video output instead of the standard video out jack to connect this player to your TV (or other equipment). This should give you the best quality picture from the three types of video output available.

Use a component video cable (not supplied) to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a component video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.

Watching progressive scan video from the component video outputs

This player can output progressive scan video from the component video output. Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-free image.

To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV, see Video Output settings on page 41. When the player is set to output progressive scan video, the PRGSVE indicator lights in the front panel display.

Important

If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and switch the player to progressive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case, press the PROGRESSIVE button on the remote control to switch back to Interlace (the PRGSVE indicator should be unlit).

Switching the video output to interlace using the remote controls

Use the PROGRESSIVE button on the remote control to switch the component video output between Interlace and Progressive.

PROGRESSIVE

Note

The picture on some TVs may momentarily break up when you switch the video output of this player.

The PROGRESSIVE button cannot be used if the player is connected using HDMI.
