Connections and initial set up

3 - Audio - Video Output

Audio outputs (OUTPUT L, R), Composite Video Out socket
(CVBS) (COMPOSITE VIDEO OUTPUT)

The analog sound and the composite images (CVBS) from a disc being read
are permanently available at the two audio sockets, L and R, of your DVD
recorder.

4 - Composite Video Outputs (Y, Pb, Pr) (YUV)

The 

Y

,

Pb

,

Pr

sockets deliver an optimum image quality due to the separation

of the video signal into three separate components (comparable with RGB
separation in a Scart-Peritel cable).To obtain the best image quality possible, use
very high quality cables for connections.Your dealer can provide YUV cables that
are sold together and come in the standard colour codes (red, green and blue)
used for these types of sockets and cables.

Note: if you use the Composite sockets Y, Pb, Pr (also called YUV), you must configure
the output video signal so that these sockets deliver either an interlaced YUV signal
(

component interlaced

) or a progressive PS signal (

component

progressive

). With the main menu displayed (STOP mode), press the

ZOOM/VIDEO OUT

key several times. The output video signal then switches

from RGB to YUV then PS. The display then indicates 

RGB

then 

PS ON

(Progressive

Scan) and 

YUV ON

.

Caution: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because Component cables
only transmit images, and not sound.

Other Audio - Video connections

If there is no Peritel-Scart socket available on the television, check to see if there are any other
Video sockets (Components, S-Video or Composite) to connect your player by using the
corresponding sockets. In this case, do not forget to also connect the player’s Audio outputs
(

AUDIO OUT

) to the Audio input sockets (

AUDIO IN

) on your television.
