When connecting to a progressive TV, it is recommended that you use only pattern A. If you connect to your 
TV using both A and B, a special control signal transmitted via the SCART (EURO AV) cable may cause 
the signal to be switched to the SCART (EURO AV) jack.

A

Connect the component via the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks using a component video 
cord (not supplied) or three video cords (not supplied) of the same kind and length. You will 
enjoy accurate colour reproduction and high quality images.
If your TV accepts progressive 525p/625p format signals, use this connection and set the 
NORMAL/PROGRESSIVE switch on the rear panel to PROGRESSIVE to accept progressive 
video signals. The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up when the player outputs progressive 
signals.

B

Connect the SCART (EURO AV) cord (not supplied). Be sure to make the connections firmly 
to avoid hum and noise. When you connect using the SCART (EURO AV) cord, check that the 
TV conforms to S video or RGB signals. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the 
TV to be connected. Also, when you set “LINE” to “S VIDEO” or “RGB” under “SCREEN 
SETUP” in the Setup Display (page 64), use a SCART (EURO AV) cord that conforms to each 
signal.

C

Connect the yellow plug of the audio/video cord (supplied) to the yellow (video) jacks. You will 
enjoy standard quality images.

Use the red and white plugs to connect to the audio input jacks (page 20).

D

Connect an S VIDEO cord (not supplied). You will enjoy high quality images.

Depending on the disc, the image may not fit your TV screen. If you want to change the aspect 
ratio, please refer to page 64.

• Do not connect a VCR, etc. between your TV and the player. If you pass the player signals via the VCR, 

you may not receive a clear image on the TV screen. If your TV has only one audio/video input jack,

may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 or 625 progressive scan picture problems, 
it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there are 
questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model 525p and 625p DVD player, please contact 
our customer service center.
