COMPONENT
The next best video display output after HDMI is Component Video.
Component Video is an analog video format and can be either Progressive Scan, or
Interlaced.
Progressive Scan is the better of the output types, as every line on the display
device is drawn one after the other. With Interlaced, every alternate line on the
display is drawn on the first screen draw, and every other line is drawn on the next
screen draw.
Component Video splits the color and brightness video signals into three separate
cables, giving a better picture quality.
If your display device supports Progressive Scan, then choose this as the picture will
appear clearer, particularly with moving objects.
Both Progressive Scan and Interlaced Component output use the three plugs on the
back of the player, marked as “COMP.”.
Ensure that you match the color coded cables with the color coded connectors on
both the back of the player and the inputs to your display device.
Video modes that the component output can support are PAL, NTSC, PAL
Progressive Scan, NTSC Progressive Scan, 720p50, 720p60, 1080i50 and 1080i60.
Please ensure that your screen supports the video mode you select.
