75 coaxial cable

This cable carries broadcast signals to the television whether the unit is on or off so you do not need to connect the antenna directly to the television.

But the picture and sound signal from this unit does not go through the 75 coaxial cable to the TV. Make sure you connect one of the following terminals on this unit to the TV; the VIDEO OUT terminal, the S-VIDEO OUT terminal or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal. If the TV has none of these terminals, consult your local dealer.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

For better video from DVD

The following connections are for video from the DVD section only. Make sure you have connected the VIDEO OUT terminal with the television to view video from the VHS section.

You may need to change the video-input mode on the television to view video from the VHS and DVD sections. Read your television’s operating instructions for details.

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/CB, PR/CR) 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, change the black level for a better picture (l 27, “Video”—“Black Level Control”).

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.)

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