Connect Your Player Directly To Your Television.

If the player is connected to the television through a video cassette recorder, the picture may not be played back correctly due to the copy guard. So we strongly recommend you do not connect the player to your video cassette recorder when setting up your home entertainment system. ³Connect to the television section if you connect the player to a

combined television-video player.

Component video output terminals (Y/PB/PR)

The component video output terminals output the color difference signals (P

B/PR) and luminance signal (Y)

separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors. ³The description of the component video input

terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P

B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR and so on).

Connect to terminals of the same color.
