3a. analog output

Component video is available at the RCA output connectors. The ”Analog Output Control” 

pushbutton enables you to toggle between interlaced (SDTV) and progressive (EDTV) output until 

you reach the desired format.  Your selection will be indicated by the “Progressive Output” LED on 

the top of the unit.

Note: If the input is interlaced then it is possible to configure the Component output as progressive, 

however if the input is progressive, then the output will always be progressive and the interlaced 

configuration is not possible.
