Connecting to a TV with component video inputs

If your TV has component video inputs, you can obtain pictures in better quality.

You may also view 480, 720, 1080 pictures using the HDMI OUTPUT jack to connect to a TV ( page 21, “Connecting to a device with an HDMI input”).

Note on copy protection and high definition viewing

HD DVD and DVD video disc creators have the option to include copy protection instructions in their discs that prohibit the output of some standard video or high definition video (original 720p or 1080i or up-converted 480i or 480p) from the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks. If such instructions are present in the disc you are playing, you must use the HDMI OUTPUT jack to view the disc in a high definition format and the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks, if activated, will output video only in 480i or 480p resolution.

Notes

When 1080i or 720p is selected, video cannot be displayed from the S-VIDEO jack nor VIDEO jack (yellow). Depending on a combination of the characteristics of the connected TV, resolution of the video source, and video output resolution of the player, high-resolution output may not provide the best picture. Change the output resolution according to your preferences.
