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.
