Basic connection

75Ω coaxial cable

Video cable

Connect video cables directly to your television

The video signals on DVDs and videotapes have copyright protection. The video may not be shown correctly if you connect through an A/V selector or other equipment.

Antenna cable (not included)
usually disconnected from the television)

75Ω 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.

To enjoy cable and satellite television

Connection 44

Subscribe to a cable or satellite company.

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.

Connecting a television with COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminals

COMPONENTVIDEOOUT 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 (P_B / C_B,P_R / C_R) 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 / P_B / P_R , Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y / C_B / C_R ). Connect to terminals of the same color.

• After making this connection, change the black level for a better picture ( 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.

Connecting a television with an S-VIDEO IN terminal

S-VIDEO OUT terminal

The S-video 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.)

Note

Connect to a different terminal group than that you used for the video cable (e.g., "VIDEO 2").

Picture from this unit's VHS will not appear when you use the same group input terminal connections because the S-video terminal input takes precedence.

INFO

Listening caution

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
- Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
