on the capabilities of your existing equipment.
• When using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/ PRO-
GRESSIVE SCAN jacks, set the VIDEO OUTPUT
switch to COMPONENT. When using the SCART

Tips:
• Depending on your TV and other equipment you
wish to connect, there are various ways you could
connect the recorder. Use only one of the connec-
tions described below.
• Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the
best connections.
Caution
– Make sure the recorder is connected directly to the
TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
– Do not connect the recorder’s AUDIO OUT jack to
the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio sys-
tem.
– Do not connect your recorder via your VCR. The
DVD image could be distorted by the copy protec-
tion system.
SCART connection
Connect the EURO AV1 AUDIO/VIDEO scart jack on
the recorder to the corresponding in jacks on the TV
using the scart cable (T).
Video connection
Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on the recorder to the
video in jack on the TV using the video cable (V).
Component Video connection
Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/ PROGRES-
SIVE SCAN jacks on the recorder to the correspon-
ding input jacks on the TV using an Y Pb Pr cable (C).
Progressive Scan connection
If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready”
television, you may take advantage of the recorder’s
progressive scan output for the highest video resolu-
tion possible. If your TV does not accept the
Progressive Scan format, the picture will appear
scrambled if you try Progressive Scan on the recorder.
Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT/ PROGRES-
SIVE SCAN jacks on the recorder to the correspon-
ding in jacks on the TV using the Y Pb Pr cable (C).
Notes:
• Set the Progressive to [ON] on the setup menu for
progressive signal, see page 22.
• Progressive scan does not work with the analog
video connections (yellow VIDEO OUT jack).
Caution
Once the setting for Progressive Scan output is
entered, an image will only be visible on a Progressive
Scan compatible TV or monitor. If you set Progressive
Scan to [ON] in error, you must reset the recorder.
First, remove the disc in the recorder. Next, press
x (STOP) and hold it for five seconds before releasing
it. The video output will be restored to the standard
setting, and a picture will once again be visible on a
conventional analog TV or monitor.
Audio (Left/Right) Connection
Connect the left and right AUDIO OUT jacks of the
recorder to the audio left and right IN jacks on the TV
using the audio cables (A). Do not connect the
recorder’s AUDIO OUT jack to the phono in jack
(record deck) of your audio system.
