Connecting up
Connecting using the component
video output
If your TV has component video inputs, you can
use these instead of the standard video output
to connect this system to your TV. This should
give you the best quality picture from the three
types of video output available.
• Use a component video cable (not
supplied) to connect the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT to a set of component inputs
on your TV.

Watching progressive scan video from
the component video outputs
Compared to interlace video, progressive scan
video effectively doubles the scanning rate of
the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-
free image. Progressive scan video is available
only from the component video output. There
are a few things to keep in mind when
switching the Component Out (page 69)
setting to Progressive:
• When set to Progressive, there is no video
output from the VIDEO OUT (composite)
and S (S-video) jacks.
• If you want to display video on more than
one monitor simultaneously, make sure
the player is set to Interlace.
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible
with a progressive scan signal and switch
the setting to Progressive, you will not be
able to see any picture at all. In this case,
STANDBY/ON to put the system
press
in standby, then press and hold the front
panel (stop) button for about 8 seconds
until the display shows Mem.Clr.?. Press
the front panel
so that the display shows Interlace?. Press
the front panel
interlace and switch the system back on.
Compatibility of this player with
