Notes on connecting to a TV
• If picture noise appears while playing copy-protected
DVDs, connect the unit directly to a TV. Do not connect
through a VCR, TV/VCR or AV selector.
• The unit cannot be connected to a TV which is not
equipped with a video input connector.
• Use a commercially available stereo-monaural audio cord
when connecting to a monaural TV.
• If you are connecting the unit to a TV equipped with an
S-video input connector, it is recommended that a
commercially available S-video cord be used to achieve
the best possible picture clarity.

Connections
Progressive scan connection
If you are using a high-definition or "digital ready" TV that
is compatible with progressive scan signals, you can take
advantage of the unit's progressive scan output for high
quality video with less flickers. For more information on the
mechanism and features of progressive scan, see page 9.
To use the unit's progressive scan output, you need
to:
– Use a TV that is compatible with progressive scan signals.
– Set the VIDEO OUTPUT switch on the rear of the unit to
"COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN" before
connecting to the TV.
– Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (Y, P
R
/C
R
, P

/

) jacks on the unit to the component video input
connectors on the TV using commercially available video
cables.
– Set the "Progressive Scan" in the setup menu to "On"
for output of progressive scan signals.
CAUTION
DO NOT set the "Progressive Scan" in the setup menu
to "On" when connecting to a TV that is not compatible
with progressive scan signals. If you set "Progressive
Scan" to "On" in error, the picture will appear scrambled.
In this case, reset the unit by holding down
s for more
than 5 seconds in stop mode. The original video output
will be restored and the picture will become visible again.
