Are the headphones and speakers
directly connected to the unit?
≥You cannot directly connect them to the unit. Connect through the amplifier etc. 16
The television has both S VIDEO IN
terminal and COMPONENT VIDEO IN
terminals. Which should I connect with?
≥Connecting with the component video out terminal provides a more vivid picture
compared to connecting with the S Video out terminal.
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.
