VIDEO OUT
If your TV or monitor has Audio/Video capability, connect
this jack to the AV Input jack on your TV or monitor using
an Audio/Video cable.
Use this output for conventional TV sets that do not have
S-Video or component video inputs.

RESOLUTION SELECT
Switches between 1080i (interlaced scanning), 720p
(progressive scanning), 480p (progressive scanning), and
480i (interlaced scanning) formats.
Switches the DTV Component outputs to the following for-
mats:
• 1080i (Interlaced Scanning)
Use this setting for an HDTV Ready 16 X 9
(WIDESCREEN) aspect ratio TV monitor that can handle
the 1080i video output format.
• 720p (Progressive Scanning)
Use this setting for an HDTV Ready 16 X 9
(WIDESCREEN) aspect ratio TV monitor that can handle
the 720p video output format.
• 480p (Progressive Scanning)
Use this setting for an Digital Ready 4 X 3 aspect ratio
TV monitor with Progressive Scan DTV ready compo-
nent video inputs that can handle the 480p video out-
put format.
The TV monitor may be labelled Enhanced Definition or
Progressive Scan, but not Wide Screen.
• 480i (Interlaced Scanning).
Use this setting for a conventional TV with regular
video, S-Video, or component video inputs.
NOTE
The use of 1080i on a 4 X 3 monitor or the use of 480p on a
16 X 9 monitor may cause Aspect Ratio picture distortion.
720p will only work on selected HDTV Ready TVs. Check the TV
monitor's owner's manual to verify this capability. 480i will
only work on conventional TV sets.
