•Teletext can only be output in VCR mode through AV1 (TV) out.

•When changing the “Video Out” setting (“SCART (RGB)”, “Component Interlace (I)” or “Component Progressive (P)”), connect to the corresponding jack on the TV. If the setting is changed, for example, to “Component Interlace (I)” or “Component Progressive (P)” while the scart cable is connected to the TV, a distorted video signal may be output.

Selecting Progressive Scan (625p/525p or Interlaced 625i/525i) Playback

•If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (625p/525p), connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of the unit and set “Video Out” setting to “Component Progressive (P)” in the setup menu. (See page 69.) Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode.

•If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set “Video Out” setting to “Component Interlace (I)”.

•Use a commercially available adaptor if the Video input jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.

Using the S-VIDEO OUT or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks and the AUDIO OUT jacks (Only for DVD)

If your TV has an S-Video or a Component Video input jack, use either an S-Video cable (to connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack) or a Component Video cable (to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks), and an Audio Cable (to connect the AUDIO OUT jacks).

•S-Video connection provides the good quality picture.

•Component connection provides the better quality picture.
