≥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.

≥When making this connection, select “Video/YPbPr” or “S-Video/ YPbPr” from QUICK SETUP (➜ page 11). If “RGB/No Output” is selected, the RGB signal is output from the SCART (AV) terminal, but no signal is output from the component video output terminals.

Audio and video

To enjoy progressive video

≥Connect to a progressive output compatible television.

1 Set “Video Output” to “Off” (➜ page 26, “HDMI” tab).

2 Set “Video Output Mode” to “480p” or “576p”, and then follow the instructions on the menu screen (➜ page 21, Picture Menu).

≥Panasonic televisions with 625 (576)/50i·50p, 525 (480)/60i·60p input terminals are progressive compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.

≥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.)

To improve picture quality, you can change the video signal output from the SCART (AV) terminal from “Video” to either “S-Video” or “RGB” to suit the type of television you are using. Select “S-Video/YPbPr” or “RGB/No Output” from QUICK SETUP (➜ page 11). Also, set “Video Output” to “Off” (➜ page 26, “HDMI” tab).

This connection will also enable you to play audio from your television through your home theater system. Refer to “Operating other equipment” (➜ page 33).
