luminance (Y) signals, (Actual results depend on the television.)
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals
These terminals can be used for either inter_ace or progressive

@Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just
purchased is only the start of your musicat enjoyment. Now it's
time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you
to get the most out of your equipment by playing if at a safe
level. One that tots the sound come through loud and clear
without annoying btaring or distortion--and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level"
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normaF
can actually be toud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
oSfarf your volume control at a low setting.
oStowly increase the sound until you can hear if comfortably
and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
oSet the dial end leave it there.
Taking e minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or loss in the future. After eli, we want you listening for
e lifetime.
