The television has a Scart terminal
and component video input
terminal. Which terminal should I
connect with?
If you have a regular television (CRT: cathode ray tube), we recommend
using the Scart terminal. You can enjoy high-quality RGB video from this unit
by connecting to an RGB compatible television.
If you have an LCD/plasma television or LCD projector compatible with
progressive scan, connect through the component video terminals for high
quality progressive video.
If you have a CRT television or a multi-system television using PAL mode
that is compatible with progressive scan, we cannot recommend progressive
output as some flickering can occur.
