Components Out
• Default setting: Interlace
Compared to a standard interlaced TV picture, a
progressive scan TV is capable of stable, flicker-
free images.
Set only if you connected the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT to a progressive scan-compatible TV
or monitor.
• Progressive – Use this setting with TVs and
monitors that have progressive scan component
video inputs. Check the TV’s instruction manual
if you are not sure about this.
• Interlace – Use this setting with regular TVs
that are not compatible with progressive scan.
Check the TV’s instruction manual if you are
not sure about this.
Tip
If this player is set to output progressive-scan
video, it’s possible that the picture will appear
stretched when playing discs recorded in 4:3
format. This happens when the TV’s aspect ratio is
set to ‘Full’. To see the picture in its correct aspect
ratio, change the TV setting to ‘Normal’.
If your TV doesn’t have settings to change the
aspect ratio of the picture, set this player to 16:9
Squeeze.
Note
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with
a progressive scan signal and choose one of the
progressive scan settings, you will not be able
to see any picture at all. With your TV con-
nected using either the composite or S-Video
terminals, choose the Interlace setting in the
Component Video menu.
• Compatibility of this unit with progressive-scan
TVs:
Note that not all high definition television sets
are fully compatible with this unit and may
cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In
case of progressive scan picture problems, try
switching the connection to the “STANDARD
DEFINITION” output.
SCART Video Out
(Europe Model only)
• Default setting: Video
These settings are only applicable if you’re using the
A/V EURO CONNECTOR SCART-type connector.
Important
If you make a setting here that is incompatible with
your TV, the TV may not display any picture at all.
If this happens either switch everything off and
reconnect to the TV using either the supplied
composite video cable, or an S-Video cable (see
pages 10-11 for more on this), or reset the unit
(see page 47 for how to do this).
• Video – Compatible with all TVs, but lowest
quality of the three AV settings.
• S-Video – Almost the same quality as RGB, but
can give better results if you are using a long
SCART cable.
• RGB – If your TV is compatible, this setting
gives the best picture quality.
