Connections

Connecting to a TV (cont’d)

Note

The unit is sending each video signals simultaneously. If you connected an S-VIDEO OUT and/or a COMPONENT VIDEO OUT with the VIDEO OUT (SCART), make sure your TV’s input mode is set correctly according to the connection you made.

You will not be able to hear all of the sound being output by the unit if you use the Audio cables (commercially available) to a monaural TV that has only one Audio input jack.

Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when connecting the cable.

If you want to listen to the audio through audio equipment, connect only the S-video or Component video cable to the TV.

The S-VIDEO OUT and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are only useful in DVD mode.

If your TV is compatible with 525 or 625 progressive scanning and you want to enjoy that high quality picture, you must connect the Component video cable to your TV’s component Video input jacks (Y/PR/PB) and select progressive scanning mode. To set the mode, set “Video Out” to “Component Progressive (P)” in the “Video” of the “Playback” menu so that “P.SCAN” will appear on the display of this unit. See pages 83-84 for more details.

If your TV is not compatible with progressive scanning, use this unit in interlace mode. Make sure that no “P.SCAN” is on the display of this unit. If so, set “Video Out” to “Component Interlace (I)” in the “Video” of the “Playback” menu so that “P.SCAN” on the display of this unit will disappear.

(Analogue) AUDIO OUT jacks and Scart terminal are not available on the DTS audio.

Connecting to external equipment

This unit has four input terminals, AV1 or AV2 on the rear panel and AV3 or AV4 on the front panel. Be sure that all the units are off before making connections.

Note

If the external equipment connected to the Scart terminal (AV2) supplies control voltage to this unit via Pin 8 of the Scart cable, the display functions of the remote control cannot be seen on the TV. In this case, turn off the external equipment to prevent control voltage, or make sure to use a Scart cable without Pin 8 for this connection.

The AV2 (DECODER) connection is useful for playing back the picture only.

Even if an external equipment such as a DVD player can be delivered an RGB signals and your TV accepts them, this unit only records a Composite video signal.

Recording from a camcorder or other Audio-Video equipment with no Scart terminal (AV3 or AV4)
