Using the following connections, you can enjoy higher picture quality.
∫ Connecting to a television with COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminals
The COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals provide a purer picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal. These terminals can be used
for either interlaced or progressive output. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (P
B /P R ) and
luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
[Note]
≥The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P

/P
R
, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/C
B
/C
R
).
Connect to terminals of the same color.
[Tips]
≥After making this connection, select “Darker” from “Black Level Control” (
➜ page 92, “Video” menu).
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 60, Picture Menu).
≥All Panasonic televisions that have 480p input connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand
of television.
∫ Connecting to a television with the HDMI terminal
HDMI is the next-generation interface for digital devices. When connected to an HDMI compatible unit, an uncompressed digital
video and audio
§ signal is transmitted. You can enjoy high quality, digital video and audio § with just one cord. When connecting to
an HDMI-compatible HDTV (High Definition Television), the output can be switched to 1080p,1080i or 720p HD video.
Necessary Settings:
≥Set “Video Mode” to “On” and “Audio Output” to “Off”
§ ( ➜ page 93, “HDMI” menu).
≥Set “Video Output Mode” ( ➜ page 60, Picture Menu).
§ When “Audio Output” is set to “On” ( ➜ page 93, “HDMI” menu), CD and DVD audio will also be output from the TV. However,
while recording a CD to the HDD ( ➜ page 34), audio will not be output from the television speakers.
[Note]
≥It is recommended that you use Panasonic’s HDMI cable. [Recommended part number: RP-CDHG15 (1.5 m/4.9 ft.), RP-CDHG30
(3.0 m/9.8 ft.), RP-CDHG50 (5.0 m/16.4 ft.), etc.]
≥Non-HDMI-compliant cables cannot be utilized.
≥When connecting with a Panasonic TV (VIERA) equipped with the “HDAVI Control” function, linked operations would be
possible. See page 76 for the details.
