(You need to subscribe to a cable TV or satellite TV service to enjoy
viewing their programming.)
To enjoy progressive video
≥Connect to the component video (480P) input terminals on a televi-
sion compatible with this unit’s copy guard system. (Video will not be
displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.)

(➜page 16).
≥When playing back, select Video in the on-screen menu and set
“Transfer” according to the type of material being played
(➜page 52).

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output
and provide a purer picture than the S-VIDEO OUT terminal.
Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference
signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to
achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
≥The description of the component video input terminals
depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P
B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y,
Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of the same color.
!?S-VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-VIDEO OUT terminal achieves a more vivid picture
than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chromi-
nance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results
depend on the television.)
!?
When making this connection, ensure you connect the
audio cables to the corresponding audio input terminals
