Getting started

Connection to a television

Although the audio on most DVDs is designed to be played through six speakers and this unit’s factory settings assume this setup, the following describes the most basic connections that allow you to enjoy sound through your television’s speakers. To get the full benefit from the powerful 5.1-channel audio found on DVDs, you should connect a receiver and six speakers. Descriptions of this kind of connection start on page 35.

[A]480P COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal

These are progressive video terminals. To enjoy progressive video (480P), connect this unit to the component (480P) video input con- nections on a television that is compatible with the unit’s copy guard system.

³All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480P in- put connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.

³The picture will not be shown if you connect to non-progressive input terminals.

[B]COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal

Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference sig- nals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.

³These are 480I interlace output terminals.

[C]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.)

Note

³Do not connect to component (480P) video input connectors if your television is incompatible with this unit’s copy guard system as the video will not be displayed correctly.

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). Connect to terminals of the same color.

³After making connection [A] or [B], change the black level for a better picture (page 31, Video—Black Level Control).

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 Tele- vision.

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.
