DVD EXCLUSIVE COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN VIDEO OUT socket

The Y, Pb, Pr sockets provide optimum picture quality because the video signal is separated into three parts.To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables (yellow) for the connection.You can also buy bundled component video cables that are colour-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr sockets (red, green and blue).

Notes:

Remember to connect the audio cables because the component cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

If you use the YPbPr socket to connect the DVD/VCR to the television set, set the TV Output Select option in the Display menu to YPbPr (see page 32).

If your television is a high definition television, you may take advantage of the DVD player’s progressive scan output to get the highest possible video resolution. In that case you need to set the Progressive Scan option in the Display menu to On (see page 32).

S-VIDEO OUT socket

The S-VIDEO OUT (separate video) socket provides better picture quality than composite video (the VIDEO OUT socket) because the colour is kept separate from the black and white part of the video signal. If your TV has an S-Video socket, connect the DVD/VCR to the TV with an S-Video cable.

Note: Remember to connect the audio cables because the S- Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
