The outputs of 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 are dedicated to modules of digital signal processing (DVD).
The video and audio outputs of 5 and 6 are dedicated to modules of digital (DVD) or analogue (VHS) signal processing.
Both groups of outputs are used for analogue and digital sources. But there are limitations, e.g.: During recording or scheduled recording on DVD, the VHS
playback is only possible on outputs of 5 and 6.
For a conventional tube television, we recommend using the Scart socket.
You retain a high-quality RGB video picture with an RGB-compatible television.

If you want to use a progressive-capable LCD/plasma television or LCD projector, connect it to COMPONENT VIDEO OUT to get a high quality
progressive video picture.

DivX (Direct-Video-eXpress) is a format for saving compressed audio and video data
and is developed by DivXNetworks. It is based on MPEG-4, but saves in a much
more compact manner to approx. one-tenth the size of the uncompressed file format
with satisfactory quality. Thus, the content of a DVD (approx. 8 GB) can be saved to
a conventional CD-ROM (650 MB) in DivX format.
