Using the S-VIDEO OUT terminal

The S-VIDEO OUT 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.)

Using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals

The COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals provides a purer picture than the S-VIDEO OUT terminal. These terminals can be used for either interlaced or progressive output. 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.

≥The 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.

≥After making this connection, select “Darker” from the “Black Level Control” in the “Video” tab (➜ page 22).

To enjoy progressive video

≥Connect to a progressive output compatible television.

≥Set “Video Output Mode” to “480p”, and then follow the instructions on the menu screen (➜ page 19, Picture Menu).

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