CONNECTIONS >" Description - Rear Panel Xe

1. DIGITAL OUT Jacks (OPTICAL, COAXIAL)

Use either an optical or coaxial digital cable (commercially available) to connect to an AV amplifier with a built-in decoder (AV control centre).

Use an Audio cable to connect to the Audio input jacks of A/-compatible TV, wide screen TV or Stereo system.

Use an HDMI connection cable (commercially available) to connect to a display with an HDMI compatible port.

Use a video cable to connect one of the jacks to Video input on your A/V-compatible TV, wide screen TV or Stereo system.

5. COMPONENT VIDEO OUT Jacks

Use a Component Video cable (commercially available) to connect these jacks if you have a TV with Component Video in jacks. These jacks provide Ce/Pe, Cx/Pa and Y video. Along with S-Video, Component Video provides the best quality picture.

Use an S-Video cable (commercially available) to connect this jack to the S-Video jack on your AW-compatible TV or wide screen TV for a higher quality picture.

Use a Scart cable (commercially available) to connect to the 21-pin scart jack of a TV. NOTE: + When changing the VIDEO OUT setting (SCART, COMPONENT INTERLACE or COMPONENT PROGRESSIVE), connect to a Video jack or an S-Video jack on the TV. If the setting is changed, for example, to SCART while Component Video jacks are connected to the TV, a distorted video signal may be output (refer to page 26). CAUTION: + Do not touch the inner pins of the jacks on the rear panel. Electrostatic discharge may cause permanent damage to the player. Selecting Progressive Scan (480p/576p or Interlaced 480i/576i) Playback + If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (480p/576p), connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of the DVD player and set VIDEO OUT to COMPONENT PROGRESSIVE in the display setting. Next, set your TV to the pro- gressive scan mode. Refer to page 26 for instructions on changing the display setting. P.SCAN will appear on the display of the unit. + If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set VIDEO OUT to COMPONENT INTERLACE by changing the display setting (refer to page 26). Make sure that PSCAN on the display of the unit lights off. + Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TV or monitor is the BNC type. + The unit is sending Progressive video signal and HDMI signal simultaneously when HDMI mode is set to ON. If you connect- ed component video cable to your TV, which is not compatible with progressive scan, the distorted picture will be output. + If you playback discs recorded with the NTSC system, this unit sends out NTSC signal from HDMI OUT, COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, and AV1 Jacks. What is Progressive Scanning? + Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan system provides less flickering and images in higher resolution than that of traditional (480i/576i) television signals. —12- EN

HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS Even if your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks, it is still possible to connect this DVD player to your TV's 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal using an optional Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator (commer- cially available). Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked “TO TV”) to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details. If your TV 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your TV's antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator {usually marked “ANT IN"), then connect the RF modulator to your TV's antenna terminal as described above. NOTE: + The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV's antenna terminal through an RF Modulator. 44 EN
