Connection methods for using other video terminals
E With S VIDEO terminals
The S VIDEO OUT terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal.
≥High definition video cannot be output with this
connection. Use connection
C (
➡ 8) or D
(
➡ above) for high definition video.
≥Unplug the yellow plug of Audio/Video cable.
≥Actual video quality depends on the television.
F With COMPONENT VIDEO terminals
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output (
➡ 30, Glossary) and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT
terminal.
≥Unplug the yellow plug of Audio/Video cable.
Regarding the high definition video output
≥Some discs prohibit high definition video output
from COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals. In this
case, video resolution is converted and output as
576p/480p.
If you have a regular television (CRT: cathode ray
tube)
≥Use component output with progressive “Off”, even
if it is progressive compatible, because progressive
output can cause some flickering. This is the same
for multi system televisions using PAL mode. (For
progressive output
➡ 20)
To enjoy high definition/progressive video
≥Connect to a progressive compatible television.
≥Select “Video (with component)” in “AV Output” of
the “Connection” tab (
➡ 23).
≥From the Setup menu (
➡ 23), select “576p/480p”,
“720p” or “1080i” in “Component Resolution” of the
“Connection” tab.
≥From the Setup menu (
➡ 23, “HDMI” tab), set
“HDMI Video Mode” to “Off”. Otherwise, the video
is output as 576i/480i.
