player automatically when you start playback. In
this case, press
(TV/video) on the remote to

moving the player.
• Do not apply too much pressure to the cabinet
wall, if you place the player on the cabinet with
the HDMI cord connected. It may damage the
HDMI OUT jack or the HDMI cord.
• When connecting or disconnecting, do not screw
in or rotate the HDMI connector.
When you play a disc recorded in the NTSC
colour system, the player outputs the video
signal or the Setup Display etc. in the NTSC

VIDEO OUT jacks.
Normally select this under the above
condition. This automatically detects the

PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video-based
software.
,continued
Note
When connecting to a progressive TV, it is
recommended that you use only pattern C. If you
connect to your TV using both C and D, a special
control signal transmitted via the SCART cable
may cause the signal to be switched to the SCART
jack.

Select this if the image is not clear when you
select PROGRESSIVE AUTO.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no
picture will appear if you select these settings
when either of the above conditions is not
met.
◆NORMAL (INTERLACE)
Select this setting when:
– your TV does not accept progressive
signals, or,
– your TV is connected to jacks other than
the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks
(LINE OUT (VIDEO).
◆About DVD software types and the
conversion method
DVD software can be divided into two types:
film-based software and video-based
software.
Video-based software is derived from TV,
such as dramas and sitcoms, and displays
images at 25 frames/50 fields (30 frames/60
fields) per second. Film-based software is
derived from film and displays images at 24
frames per second. Some DVD software
contains both video and film.
In order for these images to appear natural on
your screen when output in progressive
format, the progressive signals need to be
converted to match the type of DVD software
that you are watching.
Notes
• When you play video-based software in
progressive signal format, sections of some types
of images may appear unnatural due to the
conversion process when output through the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Images from
LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they
are output in the normal (interlace) format.
• If you set "LINE" in "SCREEN SETUP" to
"RGB (COMPONENT OFF)," the player
switches to "NORMAL (INTERLACE)." This
will happen even though you select
"PROGRESSIVE AUTO" or "PROGRESSIVE
VIDEO."

To connect to a TV with DVI input
Use an HDMI-DVI converter cord (not
supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any
audio signals, so you have to use another
audio connection in addition to this
connection (page 19). Furthermore, you
cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI
jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI
jacks on PC displays).

SCART input jack
Be sure to make the connections firmly to
avoid hum and noise. When you connect
using the SCART cord, check that the TV
conforms to S video or RGB signals. Refer to
the operating instructions supplied with the
TV to be connected. Also, when you set
"LINE" to "S VIDEO" or "RGB
(COMPONENT OFF)" under "SCREEN
SETUP" in the Setup Display (page 59), use
a SCART cord that conforms to each signal.
With this connection, select "NORMAL
(INTERLACE)" (default) by pressing the
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel.
When connecting to a standard 4:3 screen
TV
Not straight
Depending on the disc, the image may not fit
your TV screen. To change the aspect ratio,
see page 58.
Notes
• Do not connect more than one type of video cord
between the player and your TV at the same time.
• Do not use connections B and D at the same
time.
• Do not connect a VCR, etc., between your TV and
the player. If you pass the player signals via the
VCR, you may not receive a clear image on the
TV screen. If your TV has only one audio/video
input jack, connect the player to this jack.
