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.)

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output 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.

≥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/Y PB PR” or “S-Video/Y PB PR” from QUICK SETUP (‹ page 14).

SCART (AV) terminal

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/ Y PB PR” or “RGB/No Output” from QUICK SETUP (‹ page 14).

To enjoy progressive video

≥Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.)

≥When playing NTSC discs, change video output mode to “480P” (‹ page 23) or press [PROGRESSIVE] on the main unit so “PROG.” appears on the display.

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

[Note]

Output from this unit is interlace if you have connected to the television through the VIDEO OUT, S-VIDEO OUT or SCART (AV) terminal or when playing PAL discs, even if “PROG.” is on the display.
