sockets deliver an optimum image quality due to the separation of the
video signal into three separate components (comparable with RGB
separation in a Scart-Peritel cable).
In order to obtain the best possible image quality, always use very high quality
cables for the connections.Your dealer can provide Y, Pr, Pb cables that are
sold together and come in the standard colour codes (red, green and blue)
used for these types of sockets and cables.
Note: Do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because Component cables
only transmit images, and not sound.

YPrPb for Progressive Scan out socket
If you connect your player to a monitor (or other equipments) set equipped
with a Progressive Scan function (using out sockets
Y, Pr, Pb
) you must set
the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
selector on these sockets (slide it to the
right) and validate the function in the Display menu (see page 23). If the TV
set is connected to you player using the
TV AUDIO VIDEO OUT
socket
leave the selector on the corresponding position (slide it to the left), and
check that the Progressive Scan function is turned off in the Display
menu.
Note: Setting the selector on
TV AUDIO VIDEO OUT
enables a Composite
(CVBS) and RGB signal to be delivered to the corresponding Scart-Peritel socket. If
you set the selector on
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
only the Composite (CVBS)
signal will be available on the
TV AUDIO VIDEO OUT
socket; if, moreover, the
Progressive Scan function is activated in the Display menu, no video signal will
come through the
TV AUDIO VIDEO OUT
socket. In that case only the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
socket swill deliver video signals. To return the video
signal to the
TV AUDIO VIDEO OUT
socket you must slide the selector to the
TV AUDIO VIDEO OUT
position.

S-Video out socket (Y/C)
The S-Video socket delivers a lower quality video signal than component
sockets. An S-Video signal however provides a better quality image than a
composite video socket, because colour (C) is separate from black and white
(Y) in the video signal.
Note: Do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because the S-Video cable
transmits images and not sound.
