Connecting to the Component Jacks

You can enjoy accurate color reproduction and high quality images through the component jacks.
This Player
NOTE
Connect the Blu-ray disc player to LCD TV
directly. If you playback the image via VCR, the
image may deteriorate due to the copy guard
function.
When you record the program where copyright
is protected, the copy guard function is activated
automatically; the program can not be recorded
correctly. Also, the playback image via VCR may
deteriorate due to this function. However, this is
not a malfunction. When you watch the program
where copyright is protected, we recommend
that the Blu-ray disc player be connected to LCD
TV directly.
CAUTION
You need to switch the output to Component
video by pressing HDMI button to enjoy images
via the Component video output. (See page 15.)
Even when there is no cable connected to the
HDMI video out, switching the output to H-oP
(HDMI Out) is still possible.
When H-oP is selected, there will be no signal
from the Component video out.
CAUTION
HDMI output and Component Video
output can not be used at the same time.
STEPS
Be sure to turn off this Player and the equipment before making any connections.
