Component Video is the highest quality a system for transmitting video by splitting the video
signal into the Y (brightness), U and V (red minus brightness, blue minus brightness) components.
The signals are sent over separate lines. The plus for these cables and the corresponding jacks
are usually red, green, and blue.
In addition, the signal can be 'interlaced' or use 'progressive scan.'
The regular video/TV signal is interlaced, i.e. the even and odd lines are formed as half pictures
in an alternate fashion.
With progressive scan, each picture is structured (approx. 50/60 times per second depending on
the TV system) as a complete picture, i.e. the even and odd lines are formed together.
Disruptive picture flickering is avoided as is the case with 100 Hz TV devices.
Have the following cables ready:
an antenna cable (1, supplied), a power cable (2, supplied), a Component Video (Y PB PR) cable
(3, red, green, blue jack) or a corresponding video-compatible cinch cable, an audio cable (4,
red/white jack).
1
Remove the antenna cable plug from your TV. Insert it into the
ANTENNA IN jack at the back of the DVD recorder.
2
Insert one end of the supplied antenna cable into the TV
OUT jack at the back of the DVD Recorder and the other end
into the antenna input jack at the back of the TV.
3
Use the Component Video (Y PB PR) cable and connect one end
to the red, blue, green COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR
OUT jacks at the back of the DVD Recorder and the other end
to the Component Video In jacks of the TV.
4
If your TV set is equipped with a 'progressive scan' jack, please
use this jack. (Usually called 'Video In Y Cb Cr'. Please see your
TV's instruction manual).
The colors of the jacks on the DVD Recorder must match those on the
TV (red-red/blue-blue/green-green). If they are not matched properly,
this could cause the color of the picture to be reversed or there could
be no picture at all.
