Getting started

[A]S VIDEO OUT terminal

The S VIDEO terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance

(Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)[B]COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.

³The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of the same color.

³After making this connection, change the black level for a better picture (➡ page 29, Video—Black Level Control).

To enjoy progressive video

1.Connect to the component video (480p) input terminals on a television compatible with this unit’s copy guard system. Video will not be displayed correctly if you connect to a television that is incompatible with this unit’s copy guard system.

2.Press [PROGRESSIVE ON] on the front panel so the indicator lights (➡ page 15).

Recording to MDs or cassette tapesºAnalog recording

You can record to an MD or cassette deck. Using analog connection means sound will be unaffected by the copy guards found on DVDs.

To make an analog recordingConnect the recording equipment with an audio cable (➡ page 10 [D]).ºDigital recordingYou can record the digital signal directly onto an MD.

The signals on DVDs will be converted to 48 kHz/16 bit linear PCM. Ensure the following conditions are met.

³There is no copy guard recorded on the disc.³The recording equipment can handle a sampling frequency of 48 kHz/16 bit.

To make a digital recording

1.Connect the recording equipment with an optical or coaxial digit- al audio cable (➡ page 9 [A]).

2.When recording DVDs, make the following settings. VIRTUAL SURROUND (V.S.S.): OFF (➡ page 22) Digital Audio Output: On (➡ page 29)

PCM Down Conversion: Yes (➡ page 29)Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround: PCM (➡ page 29)

Note

³With CDs, wait for the total play time to appear before turning on your recording unit’s synchro recording feature. The beginning may be cut off if you turn it on while “READING” is displayed.

³With DVDs, recording may be interrupted when a new chapter be- gins. Use analog recording if this persists.

These phenomena occur because DVD players must first determine the audio format and sampling frequency before switching digital output.
