[A]S VIDEO OUT terminal

The S-video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)

[B]COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive out- put and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.

³The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Con- nect to terminals of the same color.

³After making this connection, change the black level for a better pic- ture (á page 21, Video–Black Level Control).

To enjoy progressive video

1.Connect to the component video (480p) input terminals on a television compatible with this unit’s copy guard system.

2.Press [PROGRESSIVE OUT] on the front panel so the indicator lights (á page 9).

Note

³The screen may shift off center when using progressive out- put. Adjust the position of the screen if this occurs (á page 19, Video— Horizontal position).

³Video will not be displayed correctly if you connect to a television that is incompatible with this unit’s copy guard system.

³The unit does not output video signals from the VIDEO OUT and S VIDEO OUT terminals when the “PROGRESSIVE OUT” indicator is on.

For your reference

All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480p input connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.

Conserving power

This unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is turned off (approx. 2 W). To save power when the unit is not to be used for a long time, unplug it from the household AC outlet.

Connect Your Unit Directly To Your Television.

Do not connect the unit through your video cassette recorder when setting up your home entertainment system, because the picture may not be played correctly due to the copy guard.
