– your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (MONITOR 
OUT (VIDEO/S VIDEO)).
About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into 2 types: film-based software and video-based software. 
Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30 
frames/60 fields per second. Film-based software is derived from film and displays images at 24 frames 
per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film. 
In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format, the 
progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.
 When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may appear 
unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Even though 
you set to “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO,” images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO or 
S VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.

To connect the VIDEO/AUDIO OUT jacks of other component to the 
VIDEO or SAT (VIDEO/AUDIO IN) jacks of this system
Connect the VCR or other components to the VIDEO or SAT (VIDEO/AUDIO IN) jacks using the 
video/audio cord (not supplied). When connecting a cord, be sure to match the color-coded sleeves to 
the appropriate jacks on the components.
If you connect a digital satellite receiver with an DIGITAL OUT 
(OPTICAL) jack
The digital satellite receiver can be connected to the SAT (OPTICAL DIGITAL IN) jack instead of the 
SAT AUDIO IN jacks of the system.
The system can accept both the digital and analogue signals. Digital signals have priority over analogue 
signals. If the digital signal ceases, the analogue signal will be processed after 2 seconds.
If you connect a digital satellite receiver without an DIGITAL OUT jack
Connect the digital satellite receiver to the SAT AUDIO IN jacks only of the system.
 Be sure to make connections securely to avoid hum and noise.
 When you connect another component to the system, you can enjoy the component by pressing FUNCTION 
(page 82).
