Note
When connecting to a progressive TV, it is recommended that you use only pattern 
D. If you connect to your 
TV using both 
D and E, a special control signal transmitted via the SCART cable may cause the signal to 
be switched to the SCART jack.
A
 If you are connecting to a video input jack
Connect the yellow plug of an audio/video cord (supplied) to the yellow (video) jack. You will 
enjoy standard quality images.
With this connection, select “NORMAL (INTERLACE)” (default) by pressing the 
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel.
B
 If you are connecting to an S VIDEO input jack
Connect an S VIDEO cord (not supplied). You will enjoy high quality images.
With this connection, select “NORMAL (INTERLACE)” (default) by pressing the 
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel.
C
 If you are connecting to an HDMI/DVI input jack
Use a certified Sony HDMI cord (not supplied) to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound 
through the HDMI OUT jack. When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack, carefully align the 
HDMI connector with the jack. Do not bend and apply pressure to the HDMI cord.
To connect to a TV with DVI input
Use an HDMI-DVI converter cord (not supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any audio 
signals, so you have to use another audio connection in addition to this connection (page 20). 
Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP 
compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).
D
 If you are connecting to a monitor, projector, or AV amplifier 
(receiver) having component video input jacks (Y, P

)
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 press the 
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel to output progressive signals. For details, see “Using 
the PROGRESSIVE button” (page 18).

 If you are connecting to a SCART input jack
Connect a SCART cord (not supplied). Be sure to make the connections firmly to avoid hum and 
noise. When you connect using the SCART 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 67), use a SCART cord that conforms to each signal.
With this connection, select “NORMAL (INTERLACE)” (default) by pressing the 
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel.
When connecting to a standard 4:3 screen TV
Depending on the disc, the image may not fit your TV screen. To change the aspect ratio, see 
page 66.
Notes
• 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, 
connect the player to this jack.
• If you set “LINE” in SCREEN SETUP to “RGB” (page 67), the player outputs no component video signals.
Using the PROGRESSIVE button
By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel, you can select the signal format in 
which the player outputs video signals (Progressive or Interlace), and the conversion method for 
progressive signals. The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up when the player outputs 
progressive signals.
Each time you press the PROGRESSIVE button, the display changes as follows:
PROGRESSIVE AUTO
m
PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
m
NORMAL (INTERLACE)
When you play a disc recorded in the NTSC colour system, the player outputs the video signal 
or the Setup Display etc. in the NTSC colour system and the picture may not appear on the 
PAL colour system televisions. In this case, open the tray and remove the disc.

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.
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.
NORMAL (INTERLACE)
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 (LINE OUT 
(VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT).
You cannot select this setting while the HDMI indicator is lit.
About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into two 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 
25 frames/50 fields (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.
Notes
• 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. Images from the S VIDEO OUT and LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they are output in 
the normal (interlace) format.
• If you set “LINE” in “SCREEN SETUP” to “RGB,” then the player switches to “NORMAL 
(INTERLACE).” This will happen even though you select “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE 
VIDEO.”
