These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive  
output (page 9) and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO  
OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color  
difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in  
order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.The description of  
the component video input terminals depends on the television or  
monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of  
the same color.  
The S video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than  
the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance  
(C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on  
the television.)  
When making this connection, ensure you connect the  
audio cables to the corresponding audio input terminals  
on the television.  
When making this connection, ensure you connect the audio cables

Glossary  
Bitstream  
Frame still and field still  
The digital form of multi-channel data (e.g. 5.1 channel) before decoding.  
Frames are the still pictures that make moving pictures. About thirty are  
shown each second. A frame still may appear blurred but overall quality is  
high.  
Two fields appear alternately to make up one frame. A field still is not  
blurred but picture quality is lower.  
Decoder  
A decoder restores coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.  
Dolby Digital  
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby  
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also  
be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be  
recorded on one disc using this method.  
Interlace and progressive output  
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines,  
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This  
is called 480P.  
Dolby Pro Logic  
I/P/B  
A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as  
2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround  
channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.  
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-  
Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.  
I: Intra coded picture  
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting  
the picture.  
P: Predictive coded picture  
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.  
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture  
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and  
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)  
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world.  
There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects  
are possible.  
Dynamic range  
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that  
can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of  
sound before distortion occurs.  
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)  
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.  
Film and video  
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is  
recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at, while  
video is recorded at 30 frames per second.

Not Applicable  
During the “Labor” warranty period there will be no charge for labor. During the “Parts”  
warranty period, there will be no charge for parts. You must carry-in or mail-in your  
product during the warranty period. If non-rechargeable batteries are included, they  
are not warranted. This warranty only applies to products purchased and serviced in  
the United States or Puerto Rico. This warranty is extended only to the original  
purchaser of a new product which was not sold “as is”. A purchase receipt or other  
proof of the original purchase date is required for warranty service.  
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential  
damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the exclusions may  
not apply to you.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which  
vary from state to state. If a problem with this product develops during or after the  
warranty period, you may contact your dealer or Servicenter. If the problem is not  
handled to your satisfaction, then write to the warrantor’s Consumer Affairs  
Department at the addresses listed for the warrantor.
