Component video output
Component signal outputs the colour difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colours. If the television is compatible with progressive output, a high quality picture can be output because this unit’s component video output terminal outputs a progressive output signal (page 47).
For progressive output (➡page 10)
Connecting to a television with 21-pin Scart
terminal
You can also connect with the AV1 terminal on this unit using the 21-pin Scart cable. If your television is equipped with RGB input capability, by connecting with a fully wired 21-pin Scart cable you can see video using RGB output on this unit. To output in RGB select “RGB (without component)” from “AV1 Output” in the SETUP menu (➡ page 42).
Connecting to a VCR with 21-pin Scart terminal
You can also connect with the AV2 terminal on this unit using the 21-pin Scart cable. To input in RGB select “RGB (Not NTSC)” from “AV2 Input” in the SETUP menu (➡page 42).
RGB refers to the three primary colours of light, red (R), green (G), and blue (B) and also the method of producing video that uses them. By dividing the video signal into the three colours for transmission, noise is reduced for even higher quality images.
