STEP 1 : Connecting to a TV

Do not place the unit on amplifiers/receivers or equipment that may become hot. The heat can damage the unit.

Before making any connections we suggest you temporarily disconnect all the units from AC power.

Do not connect video signals through a video recorder. Due to copy guard protection the picture may not be displayed properly.

Refer to page 34, about recommended settings for each piece of connected equipment.

Please use High Speed HDMI Cables that have the HDMI logo (as shown on the cover). It is recommended that you use Panasonic’s HDMI cable. When outputting 1080p signal, please use HDMI cables 5.0 meters (16.4 ft) or less. Recommended part number:

RP-CDHS15 (1.5 m/4.9 ft.), RP-CDHS30 (3.0 m/9.8 ft.), RP-CDHS50 (5.0 m/16.4 ft.), etc.
