A To connect to a TV with the SCART input jack
Connect the system to your TV using the SCART (EURO AV) cord (not supplied). 
Be sure to connect the SCART (EURO AV) cord to the EURO AV T OUTPUT (TO TV) jack on the 
system.
When you connect using the SCART (EURO AV) cord, check that the TV conforms to VIDEO signal 
or RGB signals. If the TV conforms to VIDEO signal, change the input mode of the TV to RGB signals. 
Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the TV to be connected.
B To connect to a TV with the VIDEO IN jacks
Connect the video cord.
C To connect to a TV with the S VIDEO IN jack
Connect an S video cord (not supplied). When using the S video jack instead of the video jacks, your 
TV monitor must also be connected via an S video jack. S video signals are on a separate bus from the 
video signals and will not be output through the video jacks.
D To connect to a TV with the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks
Connect a component video cord (not supplied). To use the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (Y, PB/
C
B, PR/CR) instead of the video jacks, your TV monitor must be equipped with via COMPONENT 
VIDEO IN jacks (Y, P
B/CB, PR/CR). If your TV accepts progressive format signals, you should use this 
connection and set the output channel of the system to progressive format (page 22).
 Only when DVD function is selected (by pressing FUNCTION repeatedly until “DVD” appears in the front panel 
display), the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks output video signals.
When connecting to a standard 4:3 screen TV

Does your TV accept progressive signals?
Progressive is the method for displaying TV images which reduces flickering, and sharpens the image. 
To display using this method, you need to connect to a TV that accepts progressive signals.
“P AUTO” or “P VIDEO” appears in the front panel display when the system outputs progressive 
signals.
1Press FUNCTION repeatedly to select “DVD.”
2Press PROGRESSIVE.
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows:
xP AUTO (PROGRESSIVE AUTO)
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
Normally select this under the above condition. This automatically detects the software type, and 
selects the appropriate conversion method.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when 
either of the above conditions is not met.
xP VIDEO (PROGRESSIVE VIDEO)
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and, 
– you want to fix the conversion method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video-based software.
Select this if the image is not clear when you select PROGRESSIVE AUTO.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when

either of the above conditions is not met.
xINTERLACE
Select this setting when:
– your TV does not accept progressive signals, or,
– your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (MONITOR 
OUT (VIDEO/S VIDEO)/EURO AV 
T OUTPUT (TO TV)).
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/ 
S VIDEO) /EURO AV T OUTPUT (TO TV) jacks are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.
 If you set [LINE] in [SCREEN SETUP] to [RGB] (page 84), the system switches to “INTERLACE.” This will 
happen even though you select “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO.”
 If you set [LINE] in [SCREEN SETUP] to [RGB] (page 84), the system outputs no component video signals.
