≥If you have a regular television (CRT: cathode ray tube) we recommend
using the Scart terminal. You can enjoy high-quality RGB video from this
unit by connecting to an RGB compatible television.
If you have an LCD/plasma television or LCD projector compatible with
progressive scan, connect through the component video terminals for high-
quality progressive video.
If you have a CRT television or a multi system television using PAL mode
that is compatible with progressive scan, we cannot recommend
progressive output as some flickering can occur.

another brand of television.
