Pioneer DVR-RT501-S Operating Instructions Manual page 17

Before using your unit
Connect to a TV with Component video output (for DVD/CD playback)
You can enjoy the highest quality picture by connecting the unit's component video out jacks to the component
video input jacks of your TV, with component video cables (not supplied).
At shipment (with the factory settings), component video signals are not output from these component video jacks.
Connect the unit to the TV with the SCART cable and change the DVD OUTPUT setting to COMPONENT. (See
page 25.)
3 3 3 3 3 PROGRESSIVE outputs
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with
component video inputs that are capable of
reproducing a progressively scanned video signal.
Connecting to these inputs allows you to view the
highest quality pictures with less flicker.
3 3 3 3 3 INTERLACED outputs
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with
component video inputs. Connecting to these inputs
allows you to enjoy the highest quality DVD picture playback.
NOTES:
• In connecting to a TV that are not capable of reproducing a progressively scanned video signal using
the component sockets, do not select progressive scanning mode. If you do it, the component video
outputs does not feed the correct signals and you can not see any picture (see page 45).
• When connecting to a TV using the SCART socket, make sure that the progressive indicator on the display
window is not lit. If it is lit, the video and S-Video outputs do not feed the correct signals and you cannot see any
picture. To turn off the progressive indicator, make the progressive scanning mode inactive (see page 45).
• If the component video input jacks on a TV are the BNC type, use an adapter to convert the RCA jacks from the
component video cables to BNC (not supplied).
Connect to a Stereo Amplifier with Audio
Output
If your VCR/DVD is connected to a stereo
amplifier, the video soundtrack can output through
the loudspeakers of the stereo system.
Connect to an AV Amplifier with built-in
digital surround (for DVD/CD playback)
If you are using an Amplifier with a built-in digital
surround as follows, you can enjoy the various
audio systems such as Dolby Digital and DTS by
using the Coaxial Digital Output.
Use this connection to connect an:
• AV amplifier with built-in *Dolby Digital decoder
• AV amplifier with built-in *DTS decoder
NOTES:
• The COAXIAL jack only outputs the audio from the DVD section.
VHS signal is output only from the SCART-sockets and AUDIO L/R jacks.
• When you make the connections above, do not set DOLBY DIGITAL to DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS to ON on the
AV Amplifier. If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing
the speakers to be damaged.
• DTS audio is only output via the COAXIAL output jack. You therefore need to connect this unit to a suitable
DTS decoder in order to hear the audio from DTS discs.
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, only noise will be heard from the speakers or analog stereo outputs.
• Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the unit.
