Component Video Output
Component video output (Y, Cr, Cb) enables you to enjoy high quality DVD image playback. Component output is
superior to S-Video or Composite (Analogue RCA) outputs. Note that you will need Component cables (not

component outputs might damage the player and void your warranty.
Laser Head Overcurrent Protection System
The laser head is the most important and critical part of the whole player. Its performance is directly linked to the
player’s service life and error correction capability. When a common player reads a scratched disc or a nonstandard disc, the laser intensity could be as high as 20 times the normal level, thus greatly reducing its service life.
This player is provided with an unique laser head overcurrent protection system which tries to ensure a constant
laser current and thus greatly extending the service life of the laser head.
