Connecting with Component Video
(Y PB PR) cable
Component Video is the highest quality system for transmitting video by splitting the video signal
into the Y (brightness), U and V (red minus brightness, blue minus brightness) components. The
signals are sent over separate lines. These cables and the corresponding jacks are usually red,
green, and blue.
In addition, the signal can be 'interlaced' or may use 'progressive scan.'
Interlaced
The regular video/TV signal is interlaced, i.e. the even and odd lines are formed as half pictures
in an alternate fashion.
Progressive scan
With progressive scan, each picture is structured (approx. 50/60 times per second depending on
the TV system) as a complete picture, i.e. the even and odd lines are formed together.
Disruptive picture flickering is avoided as is the case with 100 Hz TV devices.
Have the following cables ready:
an RF coaxial cable (1, supplied), a power cable (2, supplied), a Component Video (Y PB PR)
cable (3, red, green, blue plugs) or a corresponding video-compatible RCA cable, audio cables (4,
red/white plugs).
1
Remove the antenna or Cable TV signal from your TV. Insert it
into the ANTENNA IN jack at the back of the DVD recorder.
2
Connect one end of the supplied RF coaxial cable to the TV
OUT jack at the back of the DVD Recorder and connect the
other end to the antenna input jack on TV.
3
Use the Component Video (Y PB PR) cable and connect one end
to the red, blue, green COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR
OUT jacks at the back of the DVD Recorder and the other end
to the Component Video In jacks of the TV.
4
If your TV set is equipped with a 'progressive scan' jacks, please
use these jacks instead. (Usually called 'Video In Y CB CR'. Please
see your TV's instruction manual).
