When playing "wide screen" images
Some recorded images may not fit your TV screen. To change the picture size, see page 96.
Notes
• Do not connect to the S VIDEO OUT and yellow LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks at the same time.
• During DVD recording, you cannot watch VHS pictures by pressing VIDEO, as the S VIDEO OUT jack will output
DVD video signals only.
• Do not connect your TV's audio output jacks to the LINE IN (AUDIO L/R) jacks at the same time. This will cause
unwanted noise to come from your TV's speakers.
If your TV has component video input jacks
Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks using a component video cord (not supplied) or three
video cords (not supplied) of the same kind and length. You will enjoy accurate color reproduction and
high quality images.
If your TV accepts progressive 480p format signals, you must use this connection and then set
"Progressive" of "Video" to "On" in the "Setup" display (page 97).
When using this connection, be sure to connect the audio cord to the LINE OUT (AUDIO L/R) jacks.
