Panasonic TCP50X60, TC-P42X60, TC-P50X60 Digital Audio OUT terminal, Closed Caption CC, Side bars

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal

You can enjoy your Home theater by connecting a Dolby Digital (5.1 channel) decoder and “Multi Channel” amplifier to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals.

Caution

●Depending on your DVD player and DVD-Audio software the copyright protection function may operate and disable optical output.

●When an ATSC channel is selected, the output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack will be Dolby Digital. When an NTSC channel is selected, the output will be PCM.

Closed Caption (CC)

●For viewing the CC of digital broadcasting, set the aspect to FULL (If viewing with H-FILL, JUST, ZOOM or 4:3; characters might be cut off).

●The CC can be displayed on the TV only when the receiver (such as a Cable box or satellite receiver) has the CC set to ON within the device itself. Check with your Cable or Satellite provider for instructions. The TV’s CC button does not operate the Satellite or Cable box’s CC function.

●If the CC is set to On on both the receiver and TV when the signal is 480i (except for the HDMI connection), the CC may overlap on the TV.

●If a digital program is being output in analog format, the CC data will also be output in analog format.

●If the recorder or output monitor is connected to the TV, the CC needs to be set up on the recorder or output monitor.

4:3 side bars

Do not display a picture in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this can cause “Image retention” to remain on either or both sides of the display field.

To reduce the risk of such “Image retention”, change the brightness of the side bars.

See page 24 for more information

●The side bar may flash (alternate black/white) depending on the picture.
