Using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
Jacks and the AUDIO OUT (L\R) Jacks

If your TV has component video input jacks, use a component
video cable (to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks)
and an audio cable (to connect the AUDIO OUT (L/R) jacks).
When using this type of connection, “Video Out” setting
should be set to “Component (Progressive)” or “Component
(Interlace)”. Refer to “B Video Out (Default: SCART (RGB))”
on page 60.

Selecting Progressive Scan (576p/480p or
Interlaced 576i/480i) Playback

• If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (576p/
480p), connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks of this unit and set “Video Out” setting to “Component
(Progressive)” in “Setup” menu. (See page 60.) Next, set
your TV to the progressive scan mode.

• If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set
“Video Out” setting to “Component (Interlace)”.

• Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks
of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.

• Only component and HDMI connections are compatible with
the Progressive Scan.

Actual Output Modes by Media

• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that
some devices with an HDMI input may not operate properly
with this unit.

• When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the
image will not be viewed properly.

• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can
control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this
unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI
connector.

• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the
sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length)
may be limited by the device that is connected.

• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not
support audio output (for example, projectors). In
connections with device such as this unit, audio signals are
not output from the HDMI output connector.

• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D
compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI
conversion cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.

• If the connected equipment is not compatible with HDMI
BITSTREAM, DTS sound will not be output.

• When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit,
some problems in the HDMI setting might occur.
Please check and set the HDMI setting again.

• This unit does not support HDMI-CEC.

Copyright protection system

To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI
connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display
device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection
system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content
protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that
comprises data encryption and authentication of the
connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read
the operating instructions of your display device (or AV
amplifier) for more information.

Digital Audio for Better Sound Quality

The connections illustrated above are
optional for better sound

For clear digital sound quality, use the DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) jack to connect your digital
audio equipment.

If the audio format of the digital output does not match the
capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce a strong,
distorted sound or no sound at all.

Connecting a Dolby Digital™ decoder,
DTS decoder or MPEG decoder

• Connecting multi-channel Dolby Digital decoder allows you
to enjoy the Multi-channel Dolby Digital surround system as
well as DTS decoder, Multi-channel surround system.

• After connecting to a Dolby Digital decoder, set “Dolby

Information on DVD Recording

Type of Discs

This unit can record on DVD-RW/-R discs.
DVD-RW discs allow you to record programmes repeatedly,
and the recorded contents can be erased.
There are 2 recording formats: VR mode and video mode. VR
and video modes are available for DVD-RW discs while as
only video mode is available for DVD-R discs.

Video mode is the same recording format as used on the pre­recorded DVD-videos you purchase in local shops. You can
play back the discs recorded in this format in most of the DVD
players. You will need to finalise such discs (see page 33)
before playing them back in other DVD players. Unless
finalised, you can record additional materials or edit discs
recorded in video mode with this unit. VR (Video Recording)
mode is a basic recording format for DVD-RW discs.
VR mode offers advanced editing, and you can record and
edit material repeatedly, however it is playable only on VR
mode compatible unit. Finalisation is recommended before
playing them back in other unit.

Restrictions on Recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy­protected video includes DVD-videos and some satellite
broadcasts.
If copy-protected material is detected, recording will pause or
stop automatically and an error message appears on the
screen.
You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a DVD-RW
disc in VR mode with Content Protection for Recordable
Media (CPRM).
When recording an external input, you can display copy
control information on the screen.
CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the
protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can
record copy-once broadcast programmes, but you cannot
then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can
only be played back on DVD players that are specifically
compatible with CPRM.

Information on Copy Control

Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected information.
If you want to record them, refer to the following.

Recording Speed

You can select a recording speed from 5 options.
The recording time will vary depending on the recording
speed you select as follows.

• This table is intended for a standard new single-sided
12 cm / 8 cm disc. The recording times are estimates and
actual recording time may differ.

• The audio and video quality becomes poorer as the
recording time gets longer.

Quality

• This unit cannot record on CD-RW/-R discs.

• Discs recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD
recorder may not be played back if the disc is damaged or
dirty or if there is condensation on the recorder’s lens.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is
recorded in a compatible format, it may not be played back
or dubbed because of the settings of the application
software used to create the disc. (Check with the software
publisher for more detailed information.)

• Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot record
additional information using other DVD recorders.

• Since recording is performed using the Variable Bit Rate
(VBR) method, the actual remaining time for recording may
be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the
OSD, depending on the picture you are recording.
