When connecting to a wide screen TV
Depending on the disc, the image may not fit your TV screen. To change the aspect ratio, see
page 82.
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.
• Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and
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 your TV set compatibility with this 525p and 625p DVD player model, please contact
our customer service centre.
• When you connect the player to your TV via the SCART jacks, the TV’s input source is set to the player
automatically when you start playback. In this case, press t (TV/video) on the remote to return the input
to the TV.
• If you set “LINE” in SCREEN SETUP to “RGB” (page 28, 82), the player outputs no component video
signals.
For DVP-NS955V
• If you are connecting to a VCR, connect your VCR to the LINE 2 jack on the player. The VCR can record
the signal only from your TV.
• If you cannot view the pictures from a VCR through this player which is connected to a TV with RGB
component jacks, set to t (Audio/Video) on your TV. When you select (RGB), the TV
cannot receive the signal from the VCR.
• If you want to use your VCR’s SmartLink function, connect the VCR to your TV’s SmartLink jack and
connect the player to the TV with another jack.
• The SmartLink function may not work properly if your VCR is connected to your TV via the SCART jacks
on the player.
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 PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows:
PROGRESSIVE AUTO

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.
