For a conventional tube television, we recommend using the Scart socket. You will get a high-quality RGB video picture with
an RGB-compatible television.
If you want to use a progressive scan-capable LCD/plasma television or LCD projector, connect it to the component video outputs
for a high-quality progressive video picture.
